dehadista:
You where asking about a repair shop for your Dewalt ROP... you might want to call my friend Tyrone - 8734461 to 62, they might be able to repair that kaso lang nasa Las Pinas office nila.

BTW: do you still have some Klasse left (AIO and S & G)? Baka pwede mo akong bentahan kahit a few oz.

malayo ILD.. any around the QC area? hehe

hey if you want, I'd gladly give you some for free. madami pa kasi 'to eh.

I'd just have to find 2 small containers for the twins.

its been a while since my last post. glad to see this thread still going strong. need your advice again mga gurus...

1. been using moms step 1 on my 3 month old white ride for prepping/polishing purposes. id like to switch to megs DACP kasi mas mura lalabas in the long run if i buy the 1 gallon sa simex. ok ba 'to gamitin on my fairly new ride, or is it too abrasive?
2. planning to buy the bosch GEX150AC ROP. kakapagod na kasi mag step 1 by hand eh. ok daw 'to as per posts sa PAD. meron bang may alam kung saan available 'to and magkano na ito nowadays?
3. tried rainhop paste for the first time. liked the results kaso takaw sa alikabok. how long would this wax last? ok ba i-layer muna ng synwax tapos rainhop?

TIA po!

2. planning to buy the bosch GEX150AC....

Is this the one you're referring to?

Dami nyan sa True Value, you can try the Bosch shop sa Shangrila as well.

stubby: maganda yang Bosch.. less noise sa DeWalt.

anymore details again on your ride? like what color? if your car is relatively defect free, go for a product milder than DACP. since you're planning to go to simex, ask for speed glaze there.. you can use this before sealing.

BTW, there are other factors to consider such as the foam pad, technique, skill level on a machine..etc.

Rainhop is very good and it beads like crazy. the look it gives is average but this is compensated by the protection it provides. Synwax is very much like NXT, albeit NXT fills better IMO. but Synwax beats NXT when it comes to product removal. sobrang dali.

if you're planning to put Rainhop over Synwax, you're not taking much from the look of synwax. (it's the process involved and not the LSP...) you'll be adding on to the durability of course but bear in mind that rainhop didn't bond directly to the surface.

also, how often do you wax?

with the kind of weather we're getting these days, getting durable protection for your paint is what us enthusiasts need.
