Cardo: Dinner and softdrinks ang kapalit.

How do you guys finish washing in 30 mins? It takes me around an hour and a half to wash and dry. Hirap ng walang blower.

Kaya yan pag alam mong parating na ulan hehehe

Meron advice sa kin si theveed sa drying - start with the yellow then finish off with the purple + QD.

actually, i found out that using dry red towel microtex picks up water fast. but as it gets saturated, you need more passes. i experimented on this since my yellow towels were unavailable, pinalaba ko pa kase

(tamad maglaba)... bilis nga yun drying when I used red towels, kase first pass with red towel... sa 2nd pass, wax with E1 WAUD with green towel... konting buff, viola! viola(wala) na yun yun dirt hehehe pitfall - you need like 1 red towel for 1 or two panels depending on how large your car is

ako mga 45 mins to an hour, i already have a routine

rinse, soap lower portion and wheels, rinse, soap upper portion and rinse, dry body, hinges, and engine bay.

cardo: sayang mga waxes, baka maexpire yan bago mo maubos :D

hinihintay ko lang yung waffle weave ng microtex...

for me thats the best towel for drying. My Big Blue Waffle Weave has served me well for the past couple of years.

20-25 mins kaya.. hehehe para sa sedan-sized vehicles. I always do the tires, wheels and wheel wells first before moving to the chassis. If you have the right tools for the job, it's a cinch. it's great to start from the upper half before doing the bottom half. one dedicated washmitt for each half for me..

when drying the car, the water sheeting method works pretty well. then a quick pass with a microfiber / waffle weave.. then a shot of compressed air to get at the nooks and crannies of the vehicle. followed by a quick spritz of QD / booster wax.. and I'm all done.

bad trip lang pag kinakapa ko yung wheel wells for clumps of dirt.. minsan iba nakakapa ko! eeew... hindi ko na lang iniisip.

dehadista: :bwahaha: kaya may washmitt di ako dedicated for the wheelwells and tires, minsan di mo pa nakakapa naamoy mo na.

**patopig** · August 30th, 2005 05:08 PM

LOL. Bumibilis nga ako pag may paparating na ulan. Ok lang sakin large panels. Its the nooks and crannies that take me the most time. Kailangan makahanap ng "mikita". Hehehe.

Ganun din ako. Upper half, lower half, wheels then dry. Mabagal lang talaga ako siguro. heheh. Sana maging available na yung waffle weave. Nagtyatyaga pa ako sa chamoise.

Cardo: Baka mapanis waxes mo! Pamigay mo na lang. hehehe.
