Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

*madkatz - thanks for the reply.

Just a follow up though, if I wait for 4 hours for the FX Synwax to set, will it be safe if I just allow it to go on overnight and then put the Turtle wax the next day?

My dilemma is that since my parking area is open, after I put on the FX Synwax, there is a good chance that after 4 hours, there is already a good deal of dust on the car or will it be ok if I dust...then use a QD then finish it off with the Turtle Wax?

I resort to the FX Synwax then Turtle wax put on immediately because I don't want to get more swirls due to the dust that gathers.

TIA.

If thats the scenario you might need to re-wash it again, and if its me, just to save up on time and make your efforts well worth it, i would just apply the next coat of wax which is the TW PUG the week after, after my weekly car wash and then wait next month for the FX then TW PUG again.

hi eto na talaga bibilhin ko mura na ba to mga guru's 13.9k pesos for the makita b04060? from sg to... kahit mahal pero matibay at magagamit ko naman ng sulit..kasi 2 in 1 pala to...hehe


ayos mura ung m21 akala ko mahal dito. nakabili ako ng deep crystal system polish ng megs for 521 petot.. kaya binili ko na. sige bibilhin ko na din yung AG SRP para stock ko 2 polish.
tapos nakabili ako ng megs rubbing compound (hand application only) for 436 petot 250grms lang. bago daw to? ano ba mas abrasive ultimate compound oh rubbing? sayang yung clay kit nabili ko na pero nagsale kasi dito 1200 lang...


recommendation for my silver car?

Product line up ko ngayon

1. Megs clay kit
2. megs deep crystal
3. rubbing compound (hand appli only)
4. M21 (malapit ko na bilhin)
5. Nxt Gen tech wax 2.0 ano ok yung wax or liquid( any cheaper wax recommended by the higer authorities? hehe) good buy na daw bibilhin ko na

Thanks po sa lahat! gusto ko na gamitin mga products na to...hehe

Wow if its me thats already a good deal, its a Rotary and a Dual Action Polisher and if im not mistaken it already has forced rotation so if used as a dual action it has more cut, its pretty much like the flex 3401 already and i've been saving up for one of those, thats a really good buy

The UC is more aggressive but the UC also finished better, we actually use that rubbing compound for hand and spot defect removal and its also very user friendly, its also a good buy.

Hmmm if you're coming over from SG back here, try to look for Meguiars Shine Kit, it contains NXT Liquid, Tire Foam, Glass Cleaner, Quick Interior and Deep Crystal Shampoo, it usually goes for a lot less in other countries, my BF sold some of them a few months back for only 2k i think, its a really good deal since the SRP is at 3.5k, its a good deal if you're also planning to get the NXT wax, as for cheaper waxes, hmmm if its gonna cost you more than 1k already in SG might as well get a collinite here hehehe

ok ok ill buy that makita matibay naman yun and pag nasira madali naman siguro ipaayos sa atin. hehe baka kasi mas mura jan sa atin. magkano ba range ng price sa atin? 6" pala tong makita na to.

sa 3M pads ano mga advisable na pads magandang bilhin? sa pag apply ng UC, AG SRP , M21 and finally next liquid? (bibilhin ko na ung next liquid sabi mo mas mura eh)...=)

hindi ko nga alam gagamitin kong pang polish ung AG SRP ba oh yung deep crystal polish ng megs..hehe


pumunta na ako ng carrefour and DIY dito pero wala akong nakitang megs shine kit...hmmmm maghahanap muna ako sa ibang suppliers nila.

Thanks Thanks Thanks!

*madkatz: thank you ma'am! skip ko na yung step 2 sa next detail ko

Collinite is not that well known in most detailing forums because its really not that well advertised, and top that with the fact that most people find it hard to remove also makes it less popular but in all honesty one of the most under rated product, 73SS is good and i've tried it already and i wouldn't recommend it if its not good, if i were you what i would do is step 2, sapphire paste and then step 3, why? sapphire has cleaning abilities that might just remove step 3, where as putting step 3 later would prolong sapphire paste. If used properly the reduction in the clearcoat is nothing significant, you can wax for the next 20 years and still have clear coat left.

Now I'm more intrigued by this wax Haha
What do you mean by "using properly"? It's my first time doing this so maybe you could share the right way of doing it
BTW does 476 reduce clearcoat as well? Or is it just the 73ss because of its cleaning properties?

Question pala regarding the ONR: Anong difference between the waterless wash and the no rinse wash?

From what I understand, yung waterless wash, yan yung when you dip your washmit in the solution, then wipe and dry per panel, tama nga ba? So, how do you use the no rinse wash?

[silverrain]

mga pafs ano magandang gawin sa dust coming out of an exhaust system ng building A/C? yung car ko kasi naka park adjacent to one (yun lang parking slot ko sa condo ko)... tuwing umaga nalang kapal ng dust sa buong sasakyan ko...

will putting a car cover help? i heard car covers cause swirl marks totoo ba ito?

Btw what is the effect ng hot na hangin coming from the exhaust sa paint of a white car..? hindi naman sya ganon kainit but it is kinda warm.

TIA

Same lang sila sir. no rinse since di na kelagan buhusan ng tubig yung ONR. Derecho punas na kagad para ma dry after mo i wipe ng washmit.
