thats why every time I have my car serviced, binibilin ko kaagad no wash and vacuum, kakadetail lang niyan. :D

[vice]

meron po bang available na meguiars water magnet drying towel dito ? saan po ako makakakuha?
TIA

Meron ako nito pero sa states ko nabili. Mas gusto ko pa yung Microtex Elite.

Quick question po: I bought Turtle Wax Zip Wax Wash n Wax (ang haba ng pangalan) today. Naguguluhan lang ako, kase I'll be using this to clean the car. Do you think I can use it on the windows too?

[theveed]

You bought it na, might as well use it... Any shampoo with wax is bad news in the long run.

[picantorange]

Yeah, I'll just use it til it's done. Then I'm back to EagleOne carwash and WAUD.

Clavel: NXT is a cleaner wax, just clay the car and use nXT straight.

Veed: Hindi ba sya Sealant? Cleaner wax lang ba sya? Sensya na naguguluhan na ako.

Im sure they would but I'd be more than scared to let them do it... hehe.

With your skills, ikaw na gumawa no! Gagasgasin lang ng gas station yan.

veed...

I've leaving for abroad for a number of months. I'm going to leave my cars at my folks house in the province. I'm not sure what I should be more worried about? My dad taking it to "bangketa" car wash stalls(since medyo tamad din sya hehe) or my mom wiping the cars with old pranela hehe I can't scold my dad or my mom hehehe. The past few days I been piling on coats of waxes hoping it'll last til I get back(I doubt it though). There are'nt alot of options for quality car wash in the province.

Iniwan ko na nga yun mga pads, microtex mf's, cali duster at mga wash mitts ko. hopefully my mom can instruct their driver to take care of my cars hehe I've already had the cars serviced and renewed the insurance policies til 2007, hopefully ok pa yun paint pag balik ko hehehe.

Anyway, if worse comes to (more) worse... dalhin ko na lang sa professional detailer or buy another car(I wish)


picanto,
I tried those shampoos with waxes a number of years ago. I found them not as sudsy or bubbly as those stand alone shampoos are. And I could not feel the "wax" the shampoo claimed it came with with...

maganda yun eagle one shampoo cost around 500+ in Makro, 700+ in True Value for the gallon. Cheaper in makro although its hard to come by these days. hmmm sino kaya umuubos ng stock?

[theveed]

cardo: kaya pala... hehe... well, kung mga wash swirls lang don't worry too much about it, alam mo naman pagrestore eh, can't avoid it forever

clavel: synthetic cleaner wax.
