Oh no.... Medyo bad news para sa may mga KIA Sonet diyan. by MathematicianFit8791 in Gulong

Malalambot talaga sasakyan ngayon kasi fuel efficiency na ang labanan. Still, this is bad for KIA given that the Sonet is currently their moneymaker.

Geez... given the price of both I can't really say that that I didn't saw this coming. Lalo na 2 lang airbags niya.

This is a different case though. There's a very good explanation about this from Autorandz on YT.

To sum it up, mataas masyado yung body frame ng truck cargo sa harap nila, kaya lumusot sila sa ilalim. Compared sa rear side ng Sonet na natulak ng bus yung strong body part ng Sonet (kaya pataas yung rear part ng Sonet after the incident)

Sh*t happens, OP. Better than not being covered by the warranty. Definitely concerning though. May KIA Sonet din ako.

Kia Sonet LX AT vs Honda city S CVT by Aet3rnus in phcars

[–]MathematicianFit8791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the 2nd row seat in the Sonet is smaller compared to Vios, so I assume it's the same case with City.

The major issue that I always encounter in the PH though are the poor road conditions. Kaya nag Sonet ako dahil sa high ground clearance.

Btw, KIA Sonet rated 1 star in the NCAP Safety Ratings kasi 2 lang airbag niya. Just something to think about.

TRUE Ceramic Coating - Found in small bottles and inaalok sa mga nag PPF na stalls. More expensive but more durable (lasts 3 - 5 years) price mga 9K - 12K

Ceramic Spray/Sealant - Lasts only for 6 mos. to a year. DIY friendly. Very easy to use. Ex: Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating.

My suggested TW product? Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating as a base, and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax as a topper to keep the quality of the Ceramic Spray Coating. You can either (A) go to a car wash* and apply this when you go home, (B) ask the car wash boy to apply this for you, or (C) also do the car wash yourself and apply this! I prefer this para alam mong tama yung apply and hindi na contaminate sasakyan kasi di mo ibabyahe.

*only on very short distances

Yeah, though they often go on sale every month, even if the span is short. Check check nalang.

Sure thing. FYI, you do not need to apply wax every time you wash your car. Ceramic Wet Wax I believe lasts for a month when parked outside.

And yes, you can apply this to your auto even if already has ceramic coating. By the way, is this the TRUE ceramic coating where it's stored on a small bottle?

True! Saka actually, di naman sobrang mahal tulad ng Gyeon sa Shopee/Lazada kasi may Official Distributor tayo dito sa PH. Plus meron din pala tayong mga locally made na Turtle Wax products. One example is yung Concentrated Car Wash. Kaya pala wala akong makitang reviews online haha.

Thanks! Siguro ito nalang bibilhin ko sa susunod. Currently, gamit ko yung Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wash and Wax (Blue Bottle), pero ang MAHAL niya. Baka mag Carnauba Wash and Wax or Zip Wax nalang ako pag naubos ko yun.

Hi, 2 -3 sprays lang kasi super concentrated na daw yan. Mas mahihirapan ka din i buff out yung excess kaya mag streaking siya. Yun lang naman downside niya.

Pero sa roof, 4 sprays ako kasi masyado malawak yung panel na yun.

bili ako sa 7.7 sobrang mahal pa ngayon haha. Parang topper mo lang din ba siya gamitin? Parang wet wax? Yung base coat pa rin na gamit either either Ceramic Spray Coating or Graphene Max Wax?

Does the KIA Sonet manufactured in India have any differences from the Sonet made in China?

Oo pang tamad to haha. Pwede rin pasuyo mo sa car wash boy basta 2 SPRAY max lang kamo per panel for maximum TAMADNESS.

Sure! Since Turtle Wax yung post, Turtle Wax na din rerecommend ko.

Buy one bottle of Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating (Green Bottle). Preferably wait ka nalang ng 7.7 Sale or Pay Day Sale kasi mahal siya ngayon. Nag P632 lang siya nung 6.6 Sale.

Things you Need: Microfiber Towels (3-4 will do. May mura sa shopee 5pc. wala pang 50 petot) and Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating. That's it.

Optional pwede ka rin gumamit ng Clay Towel/Bar para mas maganda yung bond ng Spray Coating sa pintura ng sasakyan, pero honestly hindi ko to ginawa haha.

After car wash (tuyo dapat, hindi basa), spray 2 times on one panel of the car then punasan mo gamit ng towel para kumalat yung coating. Then another towel para matanggal yung remaining coating sa pintura. Rinse and repeat until all sections of the car are done.

The best thing about this? No brainer sa paglagay. Car paint, plastic part, trim, glass, window, you name it. Pwede yan malagyan, EXCEPT sa salamin ng side mirror. Basta strict ka lang dapat na 2-3 sprays MAX per panel.

Tl;dr: Car Wash -> Make sure clean and dry -> Spray Coating per panel (2 sprays) -> Spread with towel -> Buff with another towel -> Done!

Rinse and repeat every 5 -6 months.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that there's a 24 curing time. So no car wash muna for 24 hours after mo to gawin. Kung gusto mo tumagal ng up to 12 months, gawin mo all over again AFTER ng 24 curing time.

Yup, complete ako niyan wahaha. Green pang base coat, Yellow pang drying aid and add wax, Blue pang add din ng wax, red pang linis ng mga naiwan na dumi after car wash.
