ang tinutukoy mo bang "pang-buff" e yung Mother's PowerBall?

[B2Bomber]

fyi: if it is the PowerBall, AFAIK, max-RPM is approx. 1250rpm.... so pwede na siguro ang 550rpm mo.
sorry, ang ibig ko pala sabihin e PowerBall4Paint (different product), eto, bago pa lang to and pang paint talaga, di ko nga lang sure ang working rpm na kailangan. check mo na lang sa Mothers site kung ito nga yung plano mo gamitin sa drill mo.
.02 hth.

it's Ryobi cordless drill 14.4V at ang speed is 0-550rpm. I am not quite sure if 550rpm is enough to do the buffing / polishing. I bought a Kenco brand na pang buff na puede ikabit sa drill (as shown on attached). Could somebody tell me if 550rpm is enough or do I need a much higher rpm for buffing

Ask ko lang mga sir, napansin ko meron ako grime na nagbuild up sa tires ko. Safe ba gumamit ng bug and tar remover sa tires? thanks

I went to Handyman yesterday looking for MF Towels. I was about to buy the Microtex Kit, but on my way to the counter I noticed that the drying towel is Chamois, not MF. I returned it because I've read that Chamys can cause paint swirls.

If i were to buy MFs seperately, what would you recommend for (1) Drying (Please not the P795 microtex), (2) Exterior/Interior Wiping -- with Detailing Products, (3) Buffing

Thanks a lot!

question mga sirs,

had my itlog stripped to metal (2 washovers na plus binangga ako ng jeep sa likod = di na pantay ang kulay at kapal). what steps do i do next? i heard you can have it waxed only after two months. so what do i put in place to protect the paint job while waiting for two months?

Guys,

I have a probelm...what's the easiest solution in removing excess super glue drippings from the paint of my car's door panel if it has already dried up? I've tried acetone but it did not totally remove the big portion of super glue left. Will I need to repaint the whole door panel?

thanks.

Hindi nakakavoid ng warranty ito since wala namang warranty ang paint ng kotse afaik.

Wash your car as usual, after washing, don't dry your car yet. SHAKE WELL yung bote, apply sa sponge applicator, pigain hanggang bumula tapos pahid back and forth sa panels with medium pressure until "smooth to the touch". If it gets dry, just wet the panel with water hanggang marinse-off yung clay.

It's important that you wax after using the clay.

Wax is just wax imho. Iba ang polish, iba din yung glaze. Kung bago tsikot mo at makintab pa, wax will suffice. Maganda yung Meg's kaso usually kasi pag synthetic wax hindi masyadong durable, meaning wala pang 2 weeks hindi na nagbi-bead ang tubig.

Basically:
wash->wax
OR
wash->polish-> wax
OR
wash->clay->polish->wax
OR
wash->glaze->polish->wax
OR
wash->clay->glaze->polish->wax (use this method pag mejo may edad na ang paint ng tsikot mo)

otherwise, kung bago ang kotse, wash then wax will do.

03 revo vx 200 po rides ko color gold pero ok pa naman kintab nya gusto ko lang try megs wax or mothers product gusto ko rin kse matutunan pag detail. alin ba maganda sa dalawa? balak ko din kse dalhin sa BB para sa interior and engine detail or baka i-package detail ko na lang kung kaya pa ng budget ko.

Actually di pa ako nakatry ng Meg's wax. Meg's polish ang gamit ko tsaka Mother's wax. Maraming variant yung mother's. Iba-ibang brand iba-iba din ang klase ng shine. In my experience, TW carnauba gives me durability -- umaabot ng one month may beading pa rin (but not as shiny as other brands). Mother's gives me a glossy shine (but less mirror-like shine). 3M wax gives me both moderate glossy and mirror-like shine. TW ICE gives me moderate gloss but impressive mirror like shine lalo na pag ginamitan ng TW ICE liwuid clay. Yung TW platinum liquid wax makintab din.

So you really have to experiment on which wax will suit your taste is shine. It will also really depend on your rides. Different car manufacturers use different brands of paints so your Revo's shine might differ on other ride's shine on certain waxes.

Best for me in terms of shine IMO is Turtle Wax ICE and Mother's. Best in terms of durability is Turtle Wax Carnauba.

But in essence, POLISH makes the shine and WAX seals that shine.

Hi,

question lang po, is 3M wax ok? i'm planning my revo 03 model to be waxed before the year ends. also, i was able to get a promo from a car wash for P300 using nga 3M wax then mano-mano daw. ano po ba ang ok yung gagamitan ng buffing machine or mano-mano?!? but i think it's a cheap deal but of course i don't want to suffer on the quality of service.

thank you.
