Orbital Polisher

[Dianne]

Hirap na ko kakawax by hand, nakakatamaran tuloy... gusto ko na sana bumili ng Orbital Polisher pero yung mura lang, kasi di naman kami madalas mag wax.

Have seen this P 1,500 Orbital Polisher in Shang. mas malaki at 10 inch. made in Taiwan...
Have also seen the Bosch one on sale, mas maliit, mga 6 to 8 inches lang ata...P 2,700...

Any comments?...ano ba ang mga dapat tingnan in buying one? thanks...

[theveed]

There's a cheaper one... Go to Shopwise (Libis sigurado meron), it's yellow and costs P700 only...

BTW, mahirap lang magwax if the paint isn't polished and cleaned... otherwise, waxing can be done in less than half an hour (based on your Adventure)

[Dianne]

Theveed... hindi ko makuha yung half an hour... siguro nga kasi ang bagal naming magwax... apply muna tapos wait ng mga 2 mins, tapos punas... kaya lang di namin basta mapakintab agad... parang daming strokes bago mag shine from dull...tapos per panel pa...

do I have to polish every time I wax, or may regular intervals? (except kung may scratches or imperfections kang gustong alisin)... Baka kasi may adverse effect sa paint yung frequent polishing...

meron akong tip sa iyo Dianne, buy a 100% cotton (terry towel). Yung size na pampaligo(MALAKI). Remove the label kasi nakaka scratch ito. Fold the towel into several folds and wax away. Madali kasi kapag malaki ang pang buff mo.

Aba ok yun ah. Subukan mo kaya sa Pajero ko BlackMagic para matesting kung effective talaga.

[BlackMagic]

Sige pero babayaran mo ako bwahahaha. Kagagaling ko pa nga lang mula sa trangkaso sa Subic. Kups ka talaga.

[Dianne]

Black Magic,

thanks sa tip. subukan ko din yan. kaya lang di ba mas madaling mangalay lalo ang kamay dahil mas mabigat na ang hawak mo? :D :D :D

Is it advisable din ba na mag-polish everytime you wax? may recommended frequency ba ang polishing?

[BlackMagic]

Hindi naman nakakapagod kasi minimal lang ang bigat ng bath towel basta tuyo ito. I don't have a fixed schedule to polish my car. I just did a Meg DC 3 step tapos I use a cleaner wax every 1-2 weeks. Puti kasi auto ko kaya dapat mag cleaner wax. Tapos i top it off with Step 3 ng DC ulit every other time I use Cleaner wax. OK naman upto now. Basta ingat lang sa pag wash para minimized ang scratches and swirls. I learned a lot from theveed talaga.

[Dianne]

pardon my ignorance, black magic, ano ba yung cleaner wax... what does it do? difference with polishing and plain wax?

[BlackMagic]

Cleaner wax basically cleans your paint. Pero the wax is not really that good. Kaya you should top it off with a carnauba para may protection. Pang maintenance lang talaga yon.
