You could try BigBert's Araneta/Ortigas sir.. Have them diagnose it and they'll suggest kung ano ang pwedeng gawin sa paint mo

do i have to pay for the diagnosis?....

[thx777]

*madkatz: thank you for the advice sir!

regarding the stone chips... yep. it's the price paid for wanting to get out of the drudgery of city driving

just for reference, where can I get 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper? and for the polish, do I use microfiber terries to apply and then remove it?

Sir share ko lang din un problem ko, nakuha ko itong stone chipped na to ng nag drive ako sa NLEX, kakainis kse kahit maliit lang kitang kita sa color blue na paint at tama ka nag umpisa na umulan kaya nakakatakot baka pagsimulan ng corrosion. Ano po ba maganda remedyo dito bukod sa wet sanding, un mga nakita ko sa youtube sobra mahal naman touch up paint lang.

Sa ibabaw pala ng hood yang chipped paint na yan mga sir.
*chickselog: sir kaya kaya ng BigBert yang ganyan na stoned chipped.

^^ hmmm. pag talagang stripped off na yung paint, hindi na daw nadadaan sa detailing.

I wonder, though, if bigbert's does touchup correction. (which is the wet sanding then polishing the small touch up paint globs)

On second thought, I think they do, sabi sa akin ni Paul sa BB araneta, may mga touchup marks yung honda S2000 na pinrep nila for the trans sport show sa mega mall.

question is how much per hit. hehe.

for the small dents... PDR

*scharnhorst: i got my 2k and 3k grit sandpapers from meguiars in kamias, but i remember getting some 2k and 2.5k grit sand paper from Ace hardware, yes you would be using a MF cloth for applying since its spot treating and MF cloth for removal as well.

Di na po.. Maayos naman kausap yung mga staff dun

[thx777]

Wala naman dent sir un chipped paint lang talaga worries ko baka kse lumala e, will try to visit BB this coming week, thank sir. Share ko na din un last na detail ko first time ko gumamit ng Step 2, grabe hirap pala i apply nito compare sa Step 3 nanigas un mga daliri ko after detailing, with Step 2 mga 3 or 4 circular motion palang makunat na hirap na igalaw yung MF applicator pad, mas mahirap din sya i buff off. Sorry kung di gano kita un gloss di ko matimpla yung point and shoot ko na camera tapos sobra pa sikat ng araw kse 2pm na ata ako natapos.

thanks for the advice. the swirls looks deep(masyado ksi masipag maid namin sa pag linis ng kotse e hehehe), so i might go for the swirlX approach. will keep in mind to use minimal pressure with this product as you mentioned.

from what i've read. carlack/klasse products receive high praises from people... are these products way better than meg's or mom's?
