Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

zechs: wash, clay, cleaner wax / paint cleaner / polish, sealant / glaze, wax. You can try this medyo nakakapagod lang and it will take you the whole day or more.

you can try the shampoo of bigberts, I usually buy a gallon, costs me around 400 bucks and lasts me around 6-10 months. Matipid siya.

fellow detailers, what do you use to apply your wax? I just bought the violet microtex microfiber towel, supposedly pang apply ng wax, pero hirap ako hehehe. am currently using a 3M wax, medyo mahirap i-buff, subukan kong nipisan.

yung microtex mf ko ay plush. pwede ba itong pang-apply and pang-buff ng wax? or for all purposes ito? washing, cleaner wax, glaze and wax? of course..separate mf for each..

What color did you get? I talked to Blackmagic sa motorshow, he said that the best color to buy is the red one, almost as thick as the green one for 50 bucks less, you can use it for light dusting, wax removal, but its NOT for wax application, its too thick and you'll just waste your wax. So its either a foam applicator or the violet microtex microfiber i guess...

i think parang pink yun eh..microtex mf "plush". cost me around 199.75 bucks. hmm..i better bring my "materials" to bigberts muna, paturo muna ako what to use for what..

pagmakapal 3M wax sigurado mahirap tanggalin saka may natitira.

kailangan sobrang nipis at wag mo masaydong patuyuin.

foam applicators, foam pads, MF...

also the TW carnauba wax, is this any good?

eto ba yung emerald series? if ever, nah... get other products na mas sulit pa sa price.

ILD: Wrap the Suede around a soft foam before applying, it'll be easy.

Zechs: LS is a cleaner wax, I believe 350 din sya, but the Zymol is ok as well, medyo dust magnet nga lang.

[ILuvDetailing]

theveed: salamat! I try it out this weekend.

[zechs]

theveed, may available pa ba kayong stock ng LS? yun na lang kunin ko since dust magnet pala zymol. good thing i asked first, kundi nabili ko na yun.

also, wat do you guys use for washing your car? chamois ba? i saw one sa handyman, brand is arix(?) i think, i this any good? costs around 100bucks.
