Car 101: Tips and FAQ Thread

  • Boss DM, may alam ka bang pantanggal ng watermarks sa mga salamin ng oto...tnx,


    Gamit ko ay Elevo Water Mark Remover at Autoglym Glass Polish. May nagbigay sa akin ng CarPro Spotless Water Spot Remover pero hindi ko pa nagamit.
  • Dami kc watermarks lhat ng salamin ng oto ko. ung nkita ki zero stain watermark remover my nkagamit n kya dto, wala sa store, meet ups lng sa fb ko nkita.
    Boss dm, effective ung elevo khit tadtad ng watermarks? Mabibili ba sya sa ordinary car care stores.
  • ask ko lang tama ba mga reading ng voltmeter, thermometer na nabibili nilalagay sa Cig Lighter. dami kasi sa lazada, hindi ko alam ano maganda at kung accurate ba

    volt meter for battery? remaining batt ba ?
    + narin kasi ung USB slot for charging


    Yung mga voltmeter at thermometer na gamit sa car ay used for reference only. Hindi importante dito ang accuracy. For voltmeter, you just want to know if your car battery is charging, discharging, under- or over-charging, etc. For thermometer, you just want to know if your aircon is cooling or warming your car and how efficient the aircon is.

    If you want accurate, lab-grade test equipment ang choice mo.

    Voltmeter = Bili ka ng Fluke or Sanwa voltmeter and measure from your car battery.
    Thermometer = Bili ka ng Fluke or Sanwa Infrared thermometer.

    Having said that, ganito lang gamit ko sa car, Voltmeter + Thermometer + USB Charger. It gets the job done.

    It is formulated to remove water marks so does not matter kung kaunti or tadtad ng water marks. It is available in Ace Hardware, True Value, Handyman, etc.

    Madami pang ibang options. You can try vinegar solution. You can try steel wool super fine grade # 0000.

  • ^Try mo muna lahat ng options bago ka sumuko.

    though my windshield has no tint at all, just a visor. here's a night drive clip, prolly you'll have a bit darker shots with a medium tint.

  • Thanks @statix :-)
  • Same lang ba ang tire pressure regardless kung nitrogen gas or regular na hangin ang kinakarga?
  • @dm1179
    sir salamat!

    any advise kung ano maganda bilin?
    ive seen 500-1000 pesos sa lazada/ online shops
  • Wala ako nakita sa True Value or Ace. May nagbigay lang sa akin ng free sample kaya nagamit ko now. Meg's Ultimate Paste Wax ang standard na gamit ko.


    Sayang, ang hirap mag-hanap ng seller nyan, gusto ko sana try. Na-adik na sa pag detail, first time ko mag clay nung New Year, ayun sarap haplusin, though Microtex Nanoglos lang yung gamit ko gusto ko sana ma try yung ibang products.

  • Wala ba detailing waxes/solutions?
  • daming hairline scratches ng kotse.. ano ba magandang gamitin dito? lalo na sa may pintuan...
  • Wala ba detailing waxes/solutions?


    What do you mean by detailing waxes/solutions?
  • Duon sa link, mga hard to find products like Klasse or Collinite. Meron din ako nakita na DA polisher
  • daming hairline scratches ng kotse.. ano ba magandang gamitin dito? lalo na sa may pintuan...


    Meg's ScratchX 2.0 gamit ko. But any scratch remover product will do.
  • Galing ako sa Ace Hardware Megamall kanina, hinde na daw sila nagbebenta ng Meguiar's.
  • Same lang ba ang tire pressure regardless kung nitrogen gas or regular na hangin ang kinakarga?


    Regular air contains 78% nitrogen. It does not matter kung ano ikarga mo, gagamit ka pa rin ng tire pressure gauge para tamang pressure ang maikarga mo sa tire.

    Ang difference lang ng pure nitrogen at regular air is mas matagal bumaba ang tire pressure by 3-4 times. Pag regular air, you will lose 1 PSI every 1 month. Pag pure nitrogen, you will lose 1 PSI every 3-4 months.

    I just use regular air every month. Ang gamit ko ay automatic, digital tire inflator. Very convenient to use. Pwede mong i-set sa memory ang gusto mong PSI. Auto stop siya pag na-reach na ang target PSI.





  • @dm1179

    Ahh, I was just wondering kase yung isang sasakyan kahapon dinala pa sa Tire Master para pa check ang tire pressure, nagtaka lang ako kase sabi ko same lang naman ang tire pressure regardless kung nitrogen or yung normal na kinakarga.
  • boss dm san at magkano mo nabili yang auto inflater?

  • salamat sir!
    ganda nyan inflator mo ah
  • ^Thanks bro.

    Elevo #3250FL-AC tire inflator with analog gauge ang gamit ko dati. Hindi convenient para sa akin ang Elevo analog gauge kasi up to 300 PSI siya at 5 PSI ang bawat marking. Hindi ko masakto yung 32 PSI. Lagi sobra or kulang. I need to use separate digital gauge para magrelease ng hangin.

    Dito sa automatic tire inflator, wala na ko problema. Sakto na lagi ang tire pressure. Build quality is also better than Elevo.

    Big and nice blue backlit LCD display, 3-digits. Can display real time tire pressure in PSI, Bar and kPa. Large Power button and Light Mode button on the right side. Easily distinguishable.




    White LED lighting for night use.


  • Red LED lighting with two flashing modes, Continuous and SOS mode.




    All things are tidy at the side and back. Also includes two adapters for inflating other things.




    Nagamit ko na siya pang-inflate ng basketball, party balloons at kiddie pool.
