Question: pwede bang Sapphire+NXT? or Sapphire+nanoglos?ano mas maganda? tska magastos ba kayo sa QD? parang ang gastos ko gumamit ng QD e..

sayang talaga hindi ako nakaattend ng Seminar..

There's always a next time

As with the Silver paint, Silver paints just require better paint preparation to make the paint stand out more but yes its still achievable

Functionality-wise i would say NXT and Sapphire because of NXT's Hydrophobic Technology

But if you're after filling i would give it to Microtex Nano Glos and then Sapphire, Nano Glos' fillers last longer and fill better than NXT and even Step 2 so it would fill more once used before Sapphire.

That was weird. Umulan ng umaga, chineck ko yung kotse, walang beading. Inaraw siya so it's full of watermarks. [SIZE="1"]speaking of which, kailangan ko palang magpunas ngayon![/SIZE]

Umulan ulit ng hapon, pag-check ko ulit, may beading na.

Medyo makulit ang Med69 ah. :rofl:

Naiintriga na ako kung ano ba yung pinapahid sakin ni sir Ed na yun!

*electone
Very nice shine sir!

Hahaha its actually a combination of 3 sealants, Maxi-Gloss and Maxi-cure. He told me PSI guessed one of the main sealants used. Both Maxi products are still on their beta stages brought in by our mentor when he visited us 2 weeks ago, the good thing about them is Maxi-Gloss really pumps up the gloss of any sealant by utilizing crystal polymers and Maxi-Cure unlike other boosters and polychargers doesn't spoil the sealant and has no expiry time when mixed with the sealant unlike most where you need to use up the sealant between 6 to 24 hours

The key to achieving that shine is proper paint preparation, meaning bringing the paint to its maximum potential prewax and sealant stage. and then it sort of goes over the top when you add sealants and waxes creating that look, paint preparation is 80% and LSP's are the last 20% in achieving the ultimate shine.

thanks! quick question though...
i just bought by second bottle of microtex tire black earlier sa ACE and glanced upon the NanoGlos you've all been talking about here.

i'm pretty happy with the TW platinum's shine on my silver paint. would i achieve anything if I layer Nanoglos after the TW Plat? or waste lang cia ng time and energy? if meron, what/when's the best way to apply it?

i'm very much contemplating to get myself acquainted with sealants... got inspired last week when master Ed used the carlack combo on my trunk..

Ms Madkatz, would you kindly share some useful tips in paint preparation?

TIA!

Thats a damn good detail right there! Those are some really great results and shots on the hood, i love how sharp and clear they are and i love the depth, i guess thats why Zaino is on our Top 5 Sealants list, and i also give you credit for properly preparing the paint, Zaino would be useless on a poorly prepped paint, and thats one well prepped paint!

BTW did you use ZFX on those multi layers?

Yes, ms madkatz. I used ZFX for every coat, with Z6 in between.

Speaking of paint prep, yes this paint is 90% swirl free. However, it wasn't wet sanded, and that's what I'm amazed with because I never thought any LSP could achieve this DOI on a factory painted surface with orange peel. I noticed that Toyotas and Hondas have more or less flatter paints but GM really has orange peel. And the paint is tough to correct.

Thanks for the encouragement.

*chikselog and jmpet: Thanks for the like! Oops hindi pala FB 'to. :-)

Hi, fellow detailing addicts! Just want to share results of Zaino. I put on 3 layers Z5, 3 layers Z2, then topped with Z8. Done in a span of two weeks.

Idol, minsan bisita ka sa eb. para naman makita namin personal car mo.

Nice Detail sir. In the future, sana ma-achieve ko yang ganyang results...syempre dapat ma-achieve ko muna pambili ng zaino. hehehe

[watusi]

Hahaha i just learned what it is, give us some feed back regarding the results and try to post pictures, at first it would seem that it might flatten the Collinite's beading but wait for a few more days and it'll be back, its just that the sealant needs time to cure and breath more, also my BF told me to ask you a favor, Can you do one section 915 first and then followed by the Meds69 hahaha thats really funny, and then one panel Meds69 first then 915?

he wants to check which combination would last longer.

sure, ill post the pics hopefully this weekend.

Since the sealant needs a couple of days to cure, i guess i should apply the 915 after a few days right?

pag sa silver ginawa, chrome na labas nun.hehe

hahaha!!!oo nga noh?hahah!..jeep na dating nun..hehe..
