*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.

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?

thx777,
nice reflection shots sir! Gusto ko iyang color blue Everest. Ganyan pala ang itsura pag detailed. Para madali i-buff yung Step 2, or kahit anong wax, mag spray ka ng konting Quick Detailer sa MF towel or sa body ng car. Ganyan ginagawa ko.

Katatapos ko lang, Mothers step 2 & 3 combo

malapit na maubos ang step 3 ko :clap: Collinite 845 naman sunod kong wax.

Thanks SG, ganda din ng pagka detail ng tucson mo, next time i try ko un tip mo lagyan ng konting QD ang MF towel.

Thanks sir, kaya lang pag sobrang OC ka pala masama din, like yung nangyari sa hood ko sobra kong inisip yun di ako nakatulog ng ilang araw hahaha

. Lakas nyo talagang mang impluwensya nila madkatz, chikselog, SG at dun sa nagsimula ng thread na to. Sabi nga ni Kumander mas madalas na daw ako nakaharap sa auto kaysa sa kanya nakalimutan ko na daw mga chores ko sa bahay :iron:

*thx777: ouch, that really does need some paint chip repairing, its not really that serious since i don't think it went through to the metal but i can see why you said it sure is noticeable, that quite huge for a stone chip, same suggestion as what i game scharn, have someone do it for you for the first time then, buy extra touch up paint and look carefully how they did it and learn it, thats what i did and it worked well for me.
