Wokidoki! Thanks again masters! Will try those! Tamang tama sweldo ngayon! Will shop around for waxes and/or sealants later!

BTW, am I correct here:
Sealants: NXT - Dust magnet and does not last long (for a sealant)
Synwax: Like NXT but easier to apply and remove,
Megs #20: Hard to find but real sealant
Megs Moms Reflections: Car wax and Top coat ito righ? So I would still need a polish/glaze

Waxes: Megs #26 - Classic ok carnauba
Megs Gold Class - Looks good but does not last long
Moms CA Gold Phase 3 - Dunno bout this
SOft99 Gold - hard to find right but supposedly really good

Those are my top candidates.
I'm also looking to get Mom's S&G, Back to Black, RainX Windshield treatment and some other cleaners. (Tingnan ko kung san umabot extra pera ko.)

Any other suggestions? Sorry ang kulit ko! Thanks uli!

patopig: if you don't mind the travel, go to Simex in Kamias, they sell Megs # 26 in small refill bottles, you can also check out their other products like the DACP and QD.

BTW Just bought the Megs APC, I was considering the Simple Green but their price is roughly the same when you compute it on a per ml basis. Used it on my dads CRV (engine washed it yesterday), works like a charm although I wasn't able to remove all the dirt under the hood.

oops! ganun ba? durability hmm... anyway, I can only get 2 weeks from it but that suits me fine.. siguro 3 but that's stretching it already..

cleaner waxes per se kasi mahina talaga ang durability because all-in-one sila. because of their nature, there are trade-offs to be considered.

Parang mas malakas yung amoy ng simple green. hehehe.

Dehadista: Ano palang brush gamit mo pag nag engine wash ka, hirap ako sa tooth brush, nakaka pagod. ginamit ko rin yung brush ko sa mags, ok naman.

Sealants: NXT - Dust magnet and does not last long (for a sealant)

*Megs#20 is a very good product to take your ride over the top.
*Hindi kasi marketed ang NXT as sealant kasi hehehe. Synthetic Wax daw.
*Try Softt99 products for sealants. pwede din yun.
*Look for Klasse SG. Blows everything away. hehehe

Waxes: Megs #26 - Classic ok carnauba
Megs Gold Class - Looks good but does not last long
Moms CA Gold Phase 3 - Dunno bout this
SOft99 Gold - hard to find right but supposedly really good

*Megs GC kasi is a Polish/Wax combo.
*Mom's Ca Gold Phase 3 is an excellent carnauba.. produces a deep look and is a good topper for any sealant. good durability too.
*Soft99 Authentic Gold: Love this product! hehehe

Ano palang brush gamit mo pag nag engine wash ka, hirap ako sa tooth brush, nakaka pagod. ginamit ko rin yung brush ko sa mags, ok naman.

iba-ibang sizes ng brushes din.. meron yung malaki talaga also the tiny toothbrush para makapunta sa tight spots.

after APC, wipe down / air compressor then some dressing. Meron pa kasi ako kaunting Engine Kote ng Megs.. tinitipid ko na lang for the wheel wells.. hehe

Okidoki! Will consider #36 and CA Gold Carnauba. I think I would not mind waxing every two weeks anyway (my car only yung sa dad ko, mga twice a year lang! hehehe). Good exercise for me! Mas mura din ata! ehehehe

So here ang short list ko:
Moms S&G
Moms Ca Gold or #26
Moms Back to black
RainX Treatment

Hahanap na rin ako ng APC! Thanks uli masters!
