Mga Bro do you have any idea about FORMULA 1 products kasi I saw Formula 1 Carnauba clear coat liquid wax and F1 liquid metalic polish wax.How good these products in Car detailing. Also why TW products are not mentioned to this thread are turtle wax products inferior compared to other stuff

hmm.. i think TW was mentioned na din on previous pages of this thread...

personally, haven't used it for the longest time though. still trying to use up my K-Twins and adding up some #16 / Soft 99 Gold / Mom's Reflections / Top Coat with it..

honga bro, baka aspalto lang yan.. makakaya yan ng tar remover / kerosene.. o baka pa nga ng clay / polishing solve ka na.

meron din aku nun sa white pa!! anyway bought a clay at bbs and gumana naman kaso nakakatamad kasi you have to do the whole body and ang dami

guys at BB, got water stains na, did use mother's fx spraywax just like what theveed said ayus din nagshine sa lalo

anyway noticed fine swirl marks na agad, hopefully sealant lang ng optiguard yun (sana) and parang yung tama ng water spots lubog sa surface parang nakakacorrode yung ulan ah, will probably bring it to BBs tom to have it checked by vince or jeff

see you guys

hi, am a newbie here, question lang po mga gurus..
how do you clean the seats of the car to remove any bad smell?
we just decided to take out the old leatherette seat covers but the smell of old seat covers are still there..
kaya pa ba i-DIY ito or matatangal ba ng ordinary carwash ung smell sa seats?

tried searching this thread/forum for this topic, sorry kung na discuss na.

1) what kind of car seats do you have? ano make nya?
2) pwedeng i-DIY yan.. as mentioned underneath ILD's avatar..

NazQ: Smell probobly is comming from the seats, you can bring to bigberts and have it assessed... but thats your last option kung di makuha sa diy. You can try the baking soda technique, also check your aircon vents maybe thats the source of the bad smell.

Yup DIY is the way to go
