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.

[thx777]

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.

*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.

*thx777 and SG: very impressive details, excellent job guys!

*thx777: the picture where you showed the stone chips, if not for the stone chips would be a great picture showing how clear and clean the paint is, and very good reflection shots! very clear and i like the mirror like finish, and yeah +1 with SG on that, using a QD would greatly help in removing polishes, most polishes really does tend to gum and and become hard to remove, the trick in using step 2 is also working the product while still wet and removing it while still wet, thats why i normally recommend using on on small portions, that way the polish still remains wet and is a lot easier to remove.

*SG: nice reflections especially for a silver car and with low lights on the last shot, i loved all the shots, even the wheel wells are very clean, did you put dressings? the last shot has a very wet look, especially for a silver shade

+1 sa 845, simula ng ginamit ko 845 di ko na ginagamit yung mga mothers at megs waxes ko. Panalo collinite sa ease of application at longevity.

oops 2x post

madkatz,
Thank you! It's bronze. Haha. However, bronze is still a part of silver family diba?

Yung wheel wells, regular cleaning lang. I don't apply any dressing para madali hugasan. Pressure washer, soft sponge and car shampoo or joy ultra lang gamit ko for cleaning wheel wells. Every wash sinasama ko talaga yan. Para malinis talaga yung car. Hehehe...

*jmpet626: if you have someone coming over, try getting a tub of collinite 915, its a paste wax and its a little hard to some on the applicator pads but im sure that will really blow you away, and at 30 to 40$ per tub its still well worth it hahaha
