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

[monty_GTV]

^ enjoy being tamang OC while your car paint is new. try as many products as you like if you have the means to buy them. be wary though that buying detailing items are addictive. you may not notice but later on, naiipon na pala detailing items mo and hindi mo na magamit lahat. its nice din naman lalo if you have ample time to do it and you see your car clean, shiny and slick looking. but the reality is, if daily drive yung car mo you can't beat contaminants, swirls, scratches and other paint defects. if you are going the coating route, better have it coated with a long lasting coat then maintain mo na lang. i think in the long run its more economical and less pagod pa. if gusto mo naman DIY and weekend detailer type, stick ka na lang with a nice combo of polish and try different waxes.

Got a point there kaya nga I had our everest coated for that reason. While its still new, had it coated na kaagad para when I clean it later on mas madali na.

Tama ka. Marami na akong products. Haha And may mga parating pa ako. Mura kasi mga DA pads sa US kaya pinabili ko na lang doon.

Anyone knows if abrasive or chemical type yung Meguiar's Cleaner Wax?

I've used it 2 months in a row kase, pero hand application and buffing lang. (monthly wax)

Ok naman yan... although it's a cleaner wax so if you're thinking of layering your wax application, it will not work with this, as it somehow removes and replaces any existing waxes.

its sort of a 1-step product as it cleanse and waxes at the same time. if you want to layer, you can topped it with other carnauba wax or sealant and layer. the only drawback is once you use the cleaner wax again, wala na yung layer ng existing wax or sealant, you need to top it again. similar siya sa klasse all in one, its a cleaner wax din, it can be use on its own, but you can top it with klasse sealant or other wax.

Sobrang addicting nga yan... lalo na if you always watch mga Youtube detailing channels... parang ang daming ok na products. Tapos mas mura pa sa US bumili if may access ka to balikbayan boxes. You end up with lots of unused products kasi you will buy the bigger sizes by the gallon para sulit then ang tipid pala and ang tagal maubos. hehe

ayos sir [emoji106] patikim na lang kapag nagsawa ka...

magpapabili din ako ng buffing pads. yung mga pads na di ko nagagamit na hindi pa nabuksan, last na nacheck ko nagugutay na. sayang, ilang piraso din ng orange, white at black ng LC pads

Uy sayang naman ung mga LC pad mo hehe PM kita kung dumating. Iniisip ko pa kung ano pang pwedeng bilhin.

[Shutterbug]

Sulit kasi sobra by the gallon eh. If you're still thinking kung ano pa pwedeng mabili... well it's limitless options... there's quick detailers, microfiber towels, interior detailers/protectants, and on and on...

ingat ka lang bro sa pag import from balikbayan boxes... tell your shipper to pack them properly and put in individual plastic bags yung mga gallon. Nabutasan na ako minsan ng isang ganyan. More like nag crack yung plastic container. Pag dating ng box akala ko nabasa ng ulan.. tapos ayun ang bango ng lahat ng items sa loob. Basa din mga boxes ng other items.

interestingly easy to apply and buff off. i wonder how long it lasts in tropical weather like ours. might give it a try, checked nasa $18 sa AG, 1.5k sa lazada, 1.3k sa olx [emoji4]

Meron isang seller sa shoppee, 1K ung megs UFF nya. Wala pang shipping fee though.

Is a sealant different from wax? I didn't search Google...

Yes. They are different. Sealants are usually polymer based. These are more durable than waxes. Waxes naman are usually carnauba based. They also offer a bit of protection (not as long as a sealant) but what they excel in is in providing depth and gloss.

Thank you! I'll order one now. [emoji3]

I've personally used Megs UFF on my black daily driver. Beading is still there after 2 weeks and a couple of washes na. Tingin ko that would last around 3 months with our weather here.

balitaan mo kami bro ilang washes bago mag-deteriorate ang beading at sa tingin mo need ng re-application.

planning to use sealant nalang para sa longevity.

Ok lang ba yung cheap Botny na wax? I've read lots of good feedbacks kasi about it.
And totoo ba na nakakagasgas ung mga cheap microfiber cloths (ex. 3 for 88)?hehe
