[gearguru]

Reserving the weekend to prep the car for the rainy season. Here is the plan I've drawn out.

1. Full Wash
2. Clay
3. Wash
4. Cleaner - MOMs Step1
5. M34 Final Inspection
6. M105
7. KAIO
8. M34
9. Megs M7
10. M34
11. KSG (planning on 3 passes)
12. 915 after competing KSG
13. Sonax Brilliant Shine QD for maintenance

WOW...how long do you plan to apply all of this?

kailangan pa ba ung step 4&5 kung step 6 ay M105?
para saan ung M7 in between KAIO & KSG?

Hi Sir...would probably take me a week since I don't do it full time naman and only have the Saturday and Sunday as full days to do it. This is the bi-annual detail regimen I use. Pampatagal yung curing ng KSG but based sa experience ko and some here, the luster and shine really stands out after 2 or more passes KSG. Regarding use of the cleaner, my OC side just got the best of me and want a bare surface prior to compounding hence the cleaner. M34 naman is final inspection w/c i use to wipe down any trace wax na hindi ko na buff out or dust (again my OC side). M7 is Megs pure glaze lang. No protection whatsoever from application of this. Makes sense to apply this prior to sealing. Now im not sure as to adhesion of KSG to this but Im willing to try for experience's sake.

Mr. Allenjo,

Nice...I haven't done anything that extensive but will look to do so 3 months from now. Though I will just probably stick to the below as I only have a window of a few hours...or else my baby boy will "help" me clean it

Wash using ONR (provided a full wash is not needed...or else its MICROTEX)
Clay using MOTHERS CLAY/ LUBE COMBO
Clean using MOHERS STEP 1
Glaze/ Seal/ Polish...most probably be using OPTIMUM GPS instead of KLASSE
Wax using OCW

I'm not really after a showroom shine so this will do

Eitherway, all the best to your undertaking...should be a good workout for you

okay, thank you sir umi. how often do you re-apply the Glaz water repellant? and ung Glaz watermarks remover, kailangan pa bang apply ulit un? magkaka watermarks pa ba? kasi nag apply ka na ng Glaz water repellant.

I left mine for two months before re-applying - it was still there, and working fairly well, but there was some slight degradation, and I wanted to refresh the coating. I applied directly on top of the old layer, after an IPA cleaning - supposedly it bonds to itself, so I was thinking it shouldn't be too much of an issue to layer. I would probably consider stripping every six months or so, though - just to remove any embedded dirt and grime.

it's again the onset of the rainy season, what detailing regimen are you putting in place to protect your car paints from the harsh rain water and acids?

mine, after a polishing and cleaning, i applied Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection and after curing, topped it with Collinite 915...looks nice so far

I wish I had the time to do a full detailing session - too busy with work and post-grad studies, though. So just cleansed the paint with KAIO and a crimson pad, then applied some Dodo Juice Rubbish Boy's Juiced Edition - I'll maintain with my usual regimen of regular rinseless washes (using the new ONR with wax, supplemented with Pinnacle waterless wash). I'll continue to polish a panel at a time when possible, though (only done the hood and roof so far).

okay, thanks sir umi will take note of this.

Anyone here have any experience using OGPS? Have the opportunity to have someone buy it for me in the US and it seems to be a good alternative to KAIO.

Just be mindful of the fact that GPS is abrasive, and probably shouldn't be used as often as you can KAIO.

Sinubukan ko gumamit ng Clay bar kit kahapon. Yun pala ang pinaka sulit na detailing product. Super smooth ng paint after claying, parang galing sa casa yung 2005 jazz ng younger bro. ko. Tapos Mothers step 1 and Nano gloss inapply namin.

Dun naman sa red car ko Mothers step 1 and reflections. Question ko, do i still need to apply a QD after reflections? like Mothers showtime?

There's really no need to apply a QD, per se - it will be helpful in maintaining slickness after a wash, or for light dust, but I don't see the need immediately after waxing.

wow...didn't realize this was the case...many thanks for this info. leaning towards getting the klasse twins instead.
