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

[jhnkvn]

Noted sir. Problema kasi for some just like me that resides away from the metro eh yung mga over the counter products lang sir yung available. I believe wala pong OCW products sa Blade and ace eh. So we have to make do of what's available sir. By the way sir, anu po sa tingin nyo yung pinakadurable na over the counter wax? Thanks!

Optimum Technologies are widely distributed na especially at your suking detailer.

For a more "accessible" product, I guess you'd be looking for Meguiar mainly. Meguiar's UQW (Ultimate Quick Wax) functions the same as OCW with less durability, less beading, but better sheeting properties if memory serves right. Meguiar's Liquid Wax isn't bad either.

But kung habol mo durability, (accessibility-wise) get a Klasse combo (this is an INVESTMENT, trust me) or a Collinite 476.

Guys may nabili ako sa mall na 3M spray wax. SIno na nakatry nito? After car wash, pwede na siya iapply. May need pa ba akong ibang products para maprotect ang paint ko at the same time maenhance ang gloss? Yung window ko din is laging may naiiwang water mark after ko mag car wash.

Where to buy the Klasse combo and Collinite 476? Siguro after the Nanoglos and Nanosliq combo I will upgrade to Klasse or Collinite.

And one more thing about the purified and vinegar combo. Can I apply it sa body din? Nakikita ko kasi kahit na wax ko na may water marks pa din ako kahit sa body eh. Tapos sobrang dame sa glass. Ang panget tingnan. I am only using Turtle Wax Auto Glass cleaner kasi paubos na din pero doesnt work talaga.

So Collinite is available pala sa Autobisyo. Ang mahal pala niya How about the Klasse combo?

You can get the Carlack twins (virtually the same product as Klasse) from Big Berts, and also some MC Home Depots. The Collinite may seem expensive, but it's about the same price, or cheaper, than Meguiar's NXT or Ultimate Wax, and it's going to be more durable than those.

I'm having a problem with my Microtex microfiber chamois. It's gotten a bit dirty, so I tried washing it. Mga 20 minutes ko siyang binabad sa Joy solution tapos kinusot-kusot ko pa. Lo and behold, the dirt's still there.

Any tips how to get it out?

Also, ganun ba talaga yung microfiber chamois? When wiping the windshield and windows, hindi sobrang pulido ng pagkabsorb ng water, so pag natyo may fine watermarks pa rin from the little bits of water that don't get completely observed.

I wouldn't recommend putting it sa body paint pare That's still mildly acidic by nature and it's by far 100x more potent than acid rain Stick to glass lang for the vinegar combo.

As for the body, all you need is a clay bar.

@jut703: I use Perla soap to hand wash my MF towels. Works all the time. On glass, I find the pranela still more effective in thoroughly cleaning and getting rid of water streak marks. HTH

Anyone here tried the micro magic or microtex wiper wash? May masamang effect ba yun like clogging of the nozzle in the long term? Gamit ko kasi distilled or purified water lang eh. Gusto ko sana itry yung wiper wash kung okay.
