"Tamang OC lang" - a newbie's guide to car appearance maintenance

[Claud]

if they advised to use water lang then why not follow. baka in the process of using shampoo and qd eh magdegrade durability at umiksi protection life ng coating sayang naman. saka if i understood, kaya nagpa-pacoating eh to get rid of the time consuming car washing, wax application o periodic paint correction/detailing. i wonder tuloy why yung iba na nagpacoating still wanted to do pa yung usual wash & wax when in fact dapat hapi na sila sa glass like shine ng coating

Yep I'm concerned with the durability of the coat that's why I'm asking if there is any safe shampoo and QD for a coated car.
I've read some article na proper maintenance is still needed to prolong the life of the coat.
Hindi naman porket coated na yung car wala na gagawin or no maintenance na. ☺
this is my first car so I'm asking for advice sa mga expert sa coating. ☺

So far base sa mga readings ko I haven't seen any advise na water lang ang ang gagamitin for Coated cars. ☺

Ordinary car shampoos will do. QD for in-between washes and droppings.

Nothing wrong if you apply wax over coating, it is just kinda redundant. Plus I don't think wax will last long on cera or glass coated surfaces due to the hydrophobic or repellant nature of the coating.

Btw, what brand of coating was used on your car? Some brands have boosters or rechargers.

Ang sabi nung nag-coat sa oto namin tubig lang at soft microfiber. Tama naman siguro yun kasi nga ung coat eh ceramic nga, parang salamin lang na super nipis.

Ang gawa ko, kung madumi ang car, hugas muna with sponge, hindi madiin. Tapos drying wipe na with soft microfiber, again hindi madiin.

I use clay sponge and clay pads. They are washable, reusable, and cost effective. I stopped using traditional clay bars few years ago.

+1 on this and agree with red_one's comment. FYI, Micro marring is comparable with clay bars, isang pasadahan lang ng Poliseal or KAIO (hand applied and buffed), labas na ulit ang natural na shine.

Meron pala isang negative ang clay sponge vs clay bar. Di ko magamit sa mga small/hard to reach areas Kasi di ko mapaliit gaya ng clay bar. But t still worth it overall

Could you guys recommend a good clay sponge?

[rspayumo]

Meron bang life span in terms of storage ang clay bar? I still have one unused optimum clay bar that I bought probably around 2012-2013 during the "PinoyDetailing.com" days pa (btw, mukhang nawala na yung site na yun). Napansin ko kasi dun sa used bar, mahirap na syang iknead (though medyo matigas talaga optimum clay bar if compared to Mothers clay), saka nag break na sya into pieces.

subukan mo sprayhan ng clay lube bago i knead. else if hindi na kneadable i think hindi na pwede

Try mo to bro:

Nanoskin Autoscrub Sponge Medium Grade - REFLECTIONS CAR CARE

Eto gamit ko, pero yung fine grade version, Kasi alaga ko naman yung mga sasakyan ko ng car wash/sealant/waxing. Chat mo si Ginnova sa website na to, nasa bottom right hand ng site yung chat function. You can ask him many things as well regarding detailing. Mura din microfiber Nya vs sa mga MF na nasa suki nating malls.

itll last if you wash it by 2bucket method. mabilis matanggal if washed outside especially if they use soap that is hella strong.

it will even exceed 5months if washed properly.

Di pa naman ako gumamit ng soap or detergent so far. Yung water spray then wipe ng microfiber, nakakanipis ba nang wax or top coat yon?

[earl14]

Hello mga po mga expert. Waiting na lang po ako sa Honda Mobilio ko. Ano po ba ang dapat kong gawin and ano pong mga specific products na dapat kong bilhin para ma maintain ang pagiging brand new ng kotse ko. Sobrang newbie ko po and first car ko po ito. TIA!

[Claud]

Guys okay pa din bang i dry ung car pag Kauwi after umulan? Hindi ba mas prone sa light scratches pag ganon?
