Wow looks good in black.

Pero diba medyo malambot clearcoat ng Honda? kaya mabilis mag swirls. Ano gamit mo diyan?

Panget talaga Paint ng Honda... madali talaga mag-swirls.. as for the base color, nox yun...

NXT Wash
Clay
Speed Glaze
NXTx2 (mabilis mag-attract ng dust 'to)
Soft99 Gold (great wax... parang S100 na din hehehe)

used Rotary & ROP.. removed some products with MF

Soft99 Gold (great wax... parang S100 na din hehehe)

Uy... mukhang ok to ah, may binebenta dati si Vince na S100 1500 per jar

. Subukan ko nga yung Soft99, but how long will this last? I read in pinas detailing na mga 3 months lang.

ILD: Durability ng Wax? or How long would one jar last you?

for durability, every week kasi ako mag-wax... hehehe I don't really know how the protection would hold up in extended periods of time..

If you use the ROP, tipid ka talaga sa wax. thin coats work best talaga...

as for Soft99, matagal-tagal na din na sa 'kin.. I bought mine sa Japan a few months back.. mga P1,250 roughly. ginagamit ko lang on a few cars, preferably dark...

The shelf life of the Wax.

Is it available here? Saw some soft99 stuff in Megamall. Di ko lang alam kung available yung Gold. I'll check it out one of these days.

what am using for applying wax is my microfiber towel. Pansin ko medyo nasswirl pag foam applicator gamit ko. Well thats for Liquid waxes havn't tried the microfiber towels on a paste wax.

Airshaq: Thanks for the info. Please share with us your detailing routine.

Pwedeng pwede yung Microfiber for wax application. Thats what am doin now. I'm trying different techniques to apply wax as thin as possible. Feeling ko nagkaka swirls pag foam applicator...

there are some good foam applicators out there.. wag lang yung sa Soft99. panget yun.

if you're still wary sa swirls, go for MF... wrap your favorite MF around a good piece of foam. or, try to use a finishing PAD with a ROP for fast wax application...

even & thin coats pa..
