mga bros,
i'm bothered right now on the condition of the paint of my car because facing the car in broad daylight you'll see a map like whitish or is this a reflections from the light...that you could see a map like palawan or spots which you'll see swirls...
could swirl marks causing this whitish that i'm seeing..
i don't know if this was brought about by me using car cover during weekend to protect my car from sunlight...it was just last month or so when i found out that using car cover in an exposed to sunlight is not good for the paint of the car..

Hi. Do you have pics of the area you're referring to? My guess is that you have to use your paint cleaner and/or scratch remover by hand for that. Kung walang effect, proceed to break out your polisher and perform your usual polishing regimen. I hope the experts chime in though.  Hope this helps. |

That's horrible!!!! It's as if they used a scouring pad for a wash mitt. |

I just have a 6 day old black car and i noticed na may mga guhit guhit na sa hood visible siya nung tingnan ko nung tanghaling tapat. any tips on how to prevent further swirl marks baka meron lang kelangan ipahid o kelangan ko na ba itakbo sa detailing shop ito kahit na bago palang..
sigh..ganito ba talaga ang black car..

You may also want to invest on a waffle weave microfibre towel for drying your car. These things suck out and hold water very well and just one towel should be enough to dry a small to mid-sized sedan. |

yup.nakaka bawas din sya ng top coat but not as harsh as rubbing compound.
i know kakapolish ko lang recently pero hindi ko lang matiis makita yung swirls.

When a black colored car is dirty, it looks terrible but when it's clean and shiny, it's so beautiful!
Black color is really hard to maintain. You either have a lot of time and energy to DIY paint maintenance or you bring it to Big Bert's in Ortigas (near Home Depot). In my case, I enrolled my black car in Big Bert's paint maintenance program for 1 year (every 3 months, they maintain and beautify the paint job). In between, I wash/shampoo the car every other day using micro fiber washing and drying materials. If it's just a little dusty, I use a blower and then a calfornia duster then quick detailer.
One time I made the mistake of having it washed in the mall parking. Big mistake...swirl marks galore! Had to bring it to Big Bert's right away to minimize visibility of the swirl marks. These mall carwash guys do not know how to properly wash cars.
there's always a price to pay for beauty  |
