taking care of your car

[chiqmom]

^if I am not mistaken, nasa 1500 lang ginastos ko nun. free yung labor diba so yung oil lang and other tools ang bibilhin mo

sisses on the first check-up of your car, like first 1K - how much would it usually cost?

Mine was free.  The last service I had I spent around $700 for a routine maintenance.

Usually sweaty clothes and smelly shoes is what makes the car interior unpleasanet. I have been using Cork insoles that I bought from the states it is effective to stop your shoes from smelling as it is bacteria and mold resistant. They also have here locally na in Lazada.

Any suggestions on where to buy good quality and affordable rubber car mats? Ok ba yung sa Blade or sa Ace (Otter brand)?

[chicafabulosa]

Okay naman sa Ace bumili. I suggest sana if you can buy Nomad or similar sa nomad. Kasi mas safe yung carpet natin. And mas naabsorb nya yung dirt and yung water kaya iwas rin sa unwanted mildew smell inside the car if ever.

[gulaysk]

Nomad is by 3M, right? Been reading good reviews nga about the mat kaya lang it's 4K at Ace. Any suggestions on where to buy it for a cheaper price? I'm from QC but would like to avoid Banawe na sana.

[chicafabulosa]

Yeah mahal talaga 3M nomad but it is long lasting. Wala akong alam na nabibilhan ng mas mura nun. But i see some matting na parang nomad but different brand not sure lang if same quality. Kasi yung matting ko na i bought mga 5 years na parang bago pa rin sya. Yung sa husband ko 7 years na maayos pa rin.

[gulaysk]

Will take that into consideration sis. Thanks for sharing!

[chicafabulosa]

No problem.. glad to help

mga sissies, huhuhu may malaking gasgas un headlights ko pareho, d ko alam pano nagkaroon, pero feeling ko to kapitbahay ko may gawa may bakal na harang  kasi sila in between ng kotse namin.
yung gasgas pa letter C sya, sing laki sya ng piso, maayos pa ba yun? if maayos, please san pwede pa ayos. pati hood ko may mga gasgas din. parang nabagsakan talaga sya.

d ko naman maaway wala ko evidence pero yun pang harang nila sinukat ko sakto sa gasgas ng headlights.
TIA

Sobrang oalim ba ng scratch sa hood mo? Kasi if not, may inaapply to remove it, i normally ask help from my neighbor how to properly applied it, sa akin scratches ng stray cats. Sa headlights, not sure but maybe pwede maalis. I saw the scratch solution sa blade. But if malalim yan, i doubt kakayanin ng rubbing compound yan. Malamang repaint talaga need.

[cybelekronos]

^ thanks sis.. yung sa scratches may mild, may malalim pero wala pa 1 inch un haba. i think kaya pa to pa ibuff.
prob ko lang to sa headlights, un salamin nya may malaking letter C. pareho pa sila may tama. rough sya pag hahawakan so malalim na gasgas, d naman nabasag o nalamatan. pero un isa may dot na basag.

[chicafabulosa]

Okay lang yan sis. Yung scratches try mo yng scratch solution im telling you sa blade. Mahirap if totally basag yung headlights

[cybelekronos]

ok ba mag lagay ng car cover?
stress na kasi ako dahil sa barumbado ko kapitbahay, sila kasi lagi nakakatama ng sasakyan ko, dami ko na scratches sa hood and un latest nga yung headlights.

mas gusto ko kasi nakikita sya lagi para na check ko pa rin, or na papa init. minsan lang ako umalis like 2x a month lang. d ba mas delikado kasi d ko alam kung natamaan un sasakyan ko dahil walang alarm tapos may cover?

[chicafabulosa]

Well depends kasi. Pinakabest na ma advice ko sis is talk to your neighbor. Yun nga lang mY chance na magdeny yan and gulo pa ang ending. However wala bang ibang place na you can park your car na kita mo pa rin pero malayo sa neighbor mo?

As for car cover, if you will get the cheapo one it could do more harm than good. If you will get it, you need to make sure to do regular washing of the car cover since it holds dust, if could also scratch your car, syempre di natin alam gaano kalaki na dust or particle ang na trap sa loob nung cover. So if you will remove it, you need to be very careful talaga

[cybelekronos]

^ kinausap ko syempre denying, matagal na talaga sya prob ng mga tao dito, minsan side mirrors tinatamaan nya, wala sya pake tapos deny lang nya lagi.
wala na ko ma parkan na iba puno na rin lahat ng pay parking sa subd namin. plan ko na nga lumipat un may garage na talaga.

first car ko kasi, natatawa na lang si hub pag sinasabi ko about scratches tapos umiyak pa ko nung natamaan un headlights, sabi nya ganun daw talaga pag sa una d mapakali. sakin lang ingat na ingat ako mag drive tapos pag dating sa bahay saka pa ko may tama.

ayun, sis salamat ha. nakabili ako un concorde na outdoor, makapal kapal naman sya.

[chicafabulosa]

Good. Just make sure your car can still breath. Since your car is parked outside, make sure you remove any water it will gather. Kasi the moisture trapped between your car bodywork and the cover  will leave huge damage sa car mo. Tapos pag summer naman, car cover can degrade whether we like it or not so most likely it will also leave damage to your car so mas matrabaho actually ang may car cover. Also check for the debris it will collect, make sure na dahan dahan ka sa pagtanggal ng cover mo.

Honestly one of my car is parked under the sun, alaga lang ng wax sya kasi nga i dont use car cover. I make sure to clean it every week, and after rain talaga, i washed it off kasi madumi yung ulan kaya dito sa Metro Manila. Hahaha.. So far makintab sya like new and wala naman gasgas except pag may ligaw na pusa here sa parking namin but yung scratches na yun naalis ko naman sa solution na nabili ko from Blade.

Hi, this may be an old thread but if anyone can reply, I would appreciate it! We have a relatively new black Honda City and I'm thinking of getting nano ceramic coating for it. Does anyone know where we can have it professionally applied?
Thank you!
