Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[madkatz]

*daney_waney: up with what Ess said, very well explained

[madkatz]

*jozep: nice shots there, thanks for the reviews, this will really help my friend in further improving his products, the Tire Black is quite versatile, if you want a flat black like new tire look, apply it once, if you want a very glossy finish apply twice.

[madkatz]

*Chikselog: hello, sorry if i wasn't able to meet you a while ago, i was in my dancing class, im glad you got the samples and i hope you enjoy them, well you don't need to apply it both, but if you really want to apply both, it would be NanoGlos and then Mothers Step 3, BTW, NanoGlos is a hybrid wax and polymer sealant

[madkatz]

Hey guys check out MIAS tomorrow until sunday, they have a lot of things up for grabs and on sale, Mothers and Meguiars are showcasing their new products, and Meguiars has the 2010 products in stores already, the Gold Class carnauba wax is great, Mothers Meguiars and Microtex has items on sale, Microtex has a bundle of 500ml wax, 500ml protectant, 500ml tire black, 500 ml QD and 1 liter shampoo, 1 terry towel and wax pad for only 1k, so be sure to grab once, its definitely a steal especially for those that are interested in trying their new products

I see.. I'll try the samples after the PMS .. Actually, can't wait na nga eh haha.. Nacucurious na ako sa NanoGLOS.. Tsaka isa pa yung promo ng Microtex for only 1k, and Microtex has their own wax pad na..? Damn I gotta get to MIAS

[olidotcom]

* madkatz - thank you the detailed information!

Im very well interested in maintaining my APV's paint and have it protected... anyway.. if I have time ill drop by MIAS Friday morning (later) around 9am if you're already there.. else friday evening around 7pm and check out your waxes for sale

[thx777]

*thx777: there is no curing time after applying Step 2, the only products that have curing times are pure waxes and sealants, for sealants its 24 hours for optimal durability and 12 hours minimum, and for waxes its 8 hours for optimal durability and 4 hours minimum, thats what most sites say, and as for polishes where step 2 falls under, there are no curing time needed, oh yeah for step 2 you might want to work the product a little longer with very very light pressure, i find this to make the most of the fillings capabilities and to burnish the paint to a high gloss, Actually Dark Blue is actually one of the easy colors to achieve a mirror finish, take a look at the Exped i detailed, thats dark blue paint, and using step 2 can really help in bringing out that crisp reflections.

Thanks for the detailed info again, I'll try to drop by at MIAS Microtex bundled product for 1K is a great deal.

[madkatz]

*olidotcom: oh... we don't directly sell waxes, i am just helping out my friend in testing and reviewing the Microtex products, well... we sell waxes on the side, more like my BF sells them, well we actually sell them since we already have tons of waxes and usually when i buy, i buy waxes in 2's to 3's so im just actually disposing some of my excess waxes, but im not selling the ones i mentioned in the previous post, those are just examples of great waxes and sealants that you can find locally.

[madkatz]

*Thx777: ah yeah, that set is really a deal, even though i already have some samples here, well the owner of Microtex wont actually give me supplies to last me a long time especially with the rate i consume waxes, so im actually also grabbing some sets tomorrow, i forgot to grab some after i demo'd a while ago, i was in a hurry to get back and finish a lot of my pending errands

[Chikselog]

*madkatz
Hey uh, sorry I won't be able to make it to MIAS today, excited pa naman ako kumuha nung 1k set ng Microtex .. Di na kasi ako pinayagan umalis kasi aalis na kami bukas.. Haay sayang din yun..

Post na lang kayo pics ng mga detailers hehe

*madkatz - what time will you be at MIAS tomorrow???
I might also be able to dropby tomorrow, hope to see you and bf there.

[madkatz]

*Chikselog: ohh, then try to go to the transport auto show next weekend instead, i heard they're extending the promo after the great success

[madkatz]

*jozep: oh sorry i wasn't able to read and reply ASAP, i hope you did go to MIAS, there were a lot of new products from Megs, Mothers and Microtex there, Megs and Mothers gave a 10% discount, so i got myself some extra FX Synwax paste, and for megs i got the new rubbing and polishing compound which are great for emblems and tight spots, i also got some of their ultimate protectant, i tried it this afternoon and was i blown away, unless you want a really nice and shiny interior i would suggest you just use this for exterior trims, they really bring it back to life, this might actually be better than Mothers Naturally Black, Also got 3 sets of the Microtex Promo hehe

[jmpet626]

*madkatz

how much yung ultimate protectant?

[jozep]

*madkatz-I was at MIAS the whole day yesterday. Great driving from Russ Swift, I watched the 1:30PM show. I only bought Microtex Duster, Tire black, NanoSliq, and Protectant. I was also able to avail Microtex free dusting and tire black before I went home.
