What's up bro. May small size ba available doon? Minsanan lang naman ang linis ng interior so kahit maliit lang siguro. At magkano pala? Thanks!

may nakapagtry na ba sa inyo nung Micro Magic na car shampoo? Both wash and wash and wax yata yun. Is it good enough? What do we need to consider in choosing a car shampoo? Lubricity lang ba? Saka yung sa mga wiper blades, shampoo lang ba ginagamit niyo dun? pwede kaya yun punasan ng cotton with baby oil?

I have, their shampoo is not as bad but i would still prefer Microtex Shampoo, main difference would be around 62 pesos but i find that Microtex Shampoo is a lot more gentle and better in preserving waxes, Microtex Shampoo is just a little too strong for some OTC waxes but not a bad item for starters as for their wash and wax, i really didn't find any considerable and significant or even noticeable different with the regular carwash, but hey if you don't mind the extra 11 pesos and if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt then get their wash and wax

What interior cleaner would you recommend? One that is good for cleaning dashboards and sidings. My sidings are all white, and they're getting darker and darker every month. I should clean them before they become black. Btw, dun sa suking carwash ko dati, may ginagamit silang effective na cleaner. Sabi nila Mothers daw. Alam niyo ba yung cleaner na yun? Thanks!

Hmm as far as i know the APC used by most detailers here from Mothers distributor is Mark V Klenzol which is also a great products, a little below compared to Meguiars but also cheaper, if its this item

http://www.mothers.com/02_products/05424.html

then this is also a good cleaner its not very economical though

i would also agree with Wipeout but i would suggest you do a test area first with Wipeout, because Wipeout can color fast dyed leatherette. But Wipeout if on tough cleaner thats still gentle to the surface its just bad with dyed surfaces

Megs APC is also a great value, actually at 4:1 concentration you could already use it for engine detailing, 10:1 is the most economical and gentlest dilution ratio also a bang for the buck

keep me posted with your observations

also if you're in california it would be a great idea to drop by Meguiars Open Garage, i hear they give out free detailing seminars there even up to machine polishing

I've been to Sears to check on Dynabrade but all they have is Craftsman (inhouse brand). I have no interest in this so I left heartbroken. Anyway, I'm holding off from getting a polisher/buffer til I'm done attending the Meguiars seminar in Irvine.

The Open Garage is only available Thursday nights and I find that inconvenient on my part. So, I instead will attend their Detailing 101 in Nov (Oct is already filled up). The Meguiar 1-day seminar is free isn't that sweet

Thanks again for the info.
