Best or Recommended time for a car wash over

**apt2a** · April 28th, 2018 12:17 AM

Sorry for my ignorance but when would be the best time to have a washover?

Is it necessary?

What's your experience regarding washover? Would it really bring the new car paint quality?

State your:

- car age:
- paint condition:
- has covered garage when parked?:
- any major dents/scratches?:
- paint color

Most people have their wash over during summer, low humidity = better paint job.

Will it be like factor paint? NO

Will it be better than original paint? Arbitrary

Will it depreciate your car value? YES

beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder, po.
i have seen running cars, whose paint condition reminds me of a kulahan.
it all depends on you, sir. there are no rules. and you won't get flagged down for an ugly paint job. guaranteed.
look at your pocketbook first, then decide.
one thing: if bare metal is exposed, have it painted asap. kahit primer lang. avoid rust.

It really depends on the condition of your paint. I’ve seen cars that are still new but have swirl marks and faded paint all over. If you plan to have a washover, consider a shop that will include glass coating with it. A shop in Bacoor has that, & the price with glass coating is not too far off from just a plain washover.

I will avoid having my car repainted as much as possible. Almost all paint shops, hindi kayang pantayan ang quality ng factory paint.

Even my friend who actually owns a paint shop advises the same.

I've a bad scratch on the LH door of our 22year old I just left alone for this reason. Factory paint is very difficult to match...not just color-wise.

The only time nagpapapintura kami ng kotse is if when there is a scratch deep enough na exposed na yung bakal. Iwas kalawang lang.

Pag plastic lang yung tama, bahala na hehe

why don't you try waxing it with nano ceramic first, bKa yan lang ang kailangan. Most old cars yan lang ang ginagawa, but dependent sa overall quality ng existing paint mo.

In my case, bangga/deep scratch, panel lang pinapa paint ko.

When to do a full body paint... 1.5months after I put a for sale sign and wala pa din good offers.
