stubby: oops.. kala ko tapos na and you took some shots. hehe anyway, hirap gawan ng accurate assessment yan from your pics.. kung may sun shots ka mapapansin kagad natin kung may swirls and defects yan..

yan kasi advantage ng white.. hindi halata masyado. hehehe

if you notice sa detailing products, halos dark colored cars ang ginagamit as model unit. mas dramatic ang changes.

pero from the looks of things, it seems hindi pa.. regular maintenance ang hinahanap nyan.

tsinits: ok lang rainy season kasi.. understandable yun.. hehe

ILD, dehadista, il post some sun and floursecent shots pero malamang this would be after i detail the car na this weekend. hiniram ko lang kasi camera sa sis ko. anyway, i guess the sun wont show up these coming days....may bagyo yata dahil napaka-gloomy sa labas! nakakahinayang talaga mag detail tapos uulan lang pagkatapos. kung puro shine lang kasi ang maidudulot ng detailing at wala namang protection, eh wag na lang sana mag-detail di ba....but because of the protection it gives considering the weather elements, dapat talaga mag-detail.

understandable yung using dark colored cars (especially black) as an example kasi napakaganda nga naman ng kulay na ito kapag na-detail. i gives both shine and depth. i too wanted a black mz3 at first but i chose white for two main reasons - 1. ganda ng contrast between the color and the front headlights & rear tail lights, 2. white is the easiest color to maintain next to silver/gray.

speaking of black colored cars, i-echo ko din yung call ninyo kay ts1n1ta....reflection nga naman dyan!

these days, car wash almost every other day.. lalo na after going through a rain. hindi ko matiis pag may film ng dirt lalo na on a dark colored vehicle such as mine. nangangati akong linisin yung auto ko! hindi kasi kaya ng CCD yun eh.

Stubby: BTW, if you have Mom's Reflections, ganda yan.. one of the better products out in the market. this weekend nga I'll be trying a Mom's S/G, Reflections Combo on dark green.

bibili na ako ng mothers clay bar sa isang shop sa edsa. how do i know if the bar is in good condition, yung bang hindi "expired" ang dating. i remember a thread stating it must be soft and moist. what other characteristics of the bar do i look for para masabi kong maganda condition niya. TIA!

tanong ko lang ulit....sa 3 step detail ko, can i use one microfiber towel to buff the cleaner, the IHG, and the wax? or do i have to use one towel each to buff each step?

also, i plan to use the microtex suede for the cleaner wax kasi madalas kong gagamitin ang cleaner wax not only pag nag 3 step ako every 3 or 4 months but also every two weeks pang maintenance. what cheaper alternative can you suggest i use to apply the IHG kasi hindi ko naman ito gagamitin madalas, tuwing 3 step lang. puti naman kotse kaya di masyado talaga gagamitin tong IHG di ba. parang ayoko kasing bumili pa ng isa pang suede at P230 (mahal kasi) tapos gagamitin ko lang every 3 or 4 months.

naku, pasensya na po talaga sa kakulitan ko....TIA ulit!

Preferably you'd have to use one for each, but if its not soiled up with wax then you can still use it.

also, i plan to use the microtex suede for the cleaner wax kasi madalas kong gagamitin ang cleaner wax not only pag nag 3 step ako every 3 or 4 months but also every two weeks pang maintenance. what cheaper alternative can you suggest i use to apply the IHG kasi hindi ko naman ito gagamitin madalas, tuwing 3 step lang. puti naman kotse kaya di masyado talaga gagamitin tong IHG di ba. parang ayoko kasing bumili pa ng isa pang suede at P230 (mahal kasi) tapos gagamitin ko lang every 3 or 4 months.

You can buy 'em Miguars foam applicators from Hans Tools, Last Time I check its around 90 per
