dili na gyd madala bro... kita na ang base ,plastic..black.. paksheyt gyd... silver amo sakyanan... wa pa may budget, gi-manicuran lng sa nko... =D hehe..

by the way bro, about chamois di gyapon recommended acdg sa website (what causes swirls) bec it may tend to collect dirt... manglimpyo ra pwerti nang gastosa..hehe.. pero at least kakita ko ug wash mit sa likod sa amo house..

[Jacobus]

Pwde ra cguro na sir touch up lng...Hmmmm rubber chamois is not recommended... But Cloth is alright just rinse it.. But since if thorough imo pag wash when drying time na there wont be dirt na.. So, cloth chamois is the way to go if can't afford drying MF.

guys, which is better, paint protection or exterior detailing(three step)?

[Jacobus]

@wolfhound Sir, what kind of paint protection? there are several paint protection, what kind? The Three step detailing is suppose to restore shine and gloss to the paint with added suppose protection for paint..

[wolfhound]

not sure but dealers(e.g Toyota) offer paint protection service to me.. Some says it is much better than the 3 step detailing but now sure how

[Jacobus]

okay. If its a dealer no harm in getting it if it is FREE. But You should ask what they apply.. Is your car new? then go for it or how long has it been?
Basically a 3 step exterior detail is going to be 1) Correct 2) Polish 3) Wax. That is basically a 3 step. So basically, if you want a high gloss paint finish a 3 step would be nice. But, the problem is who will do the 3 step? Paint protection won't be an answer to not having RIDS or scratches. It protects paint from harsh UV, Rain, and contaminants. Actually I have not heard of any pain protection product which protects the paint forever. The longest I have heard is 1 year tops.

[wolfhound]

Not actually free. They recommend this to be applied yearly, not just in dealer but also in 3rd party detailing shop.. can you suggest where to have the 3step done? Goal is to make it brandnew look again.

[Jacobus]

@wolfhound ahhh. I think most known car detailing shops could do it for you for a premium price. But I do even the 3 step DIY since I have the stuff to do it DIY (e.g a polisher and products). It just takes time say a whole day to do it... But a new look will DEPEND on the status of your paint like how contaminated it is, and etc..

[wolfhound]

unfortunately i don't have time to do DIY. I think my car paint is still good, just not a fan of swirls and spiderwebbing
