Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[Starex_Gold]

ano yung NanoSLIQ?

NanoGLOS lang meron ako dito

[Chikselog]

QD nila sir SG.. Hehe kala ko kumuha ka rin ng 1k promo package ng Microtex..

[Starex_Gold]

hindi ako kumuha ng Promo

binigyan lang ako ng kit. Free dun sa Tucson.

may Shampoo, NanoGLOS, Sun Shield at Tire Black. MF Towel & applicator na rin

*edit: ganun ba talaga yung tire black ng microtex? parang kailangan marami iaapply?

[Chikselog]

Ahh.. Swerte mo naman sa freebies hehe.. Sir SG try mo rin yung NanoSLIQ.. Talagang magiging slick yang paint mo hehe.. Kahit walang wax, lagyan mo at dudulas na yan na parang winax, ganda pa ng water beading

Just apply per panel and wipe quickly, madali kasi siyang matuyo compared to other QDs..

edit: madkatz told me na kapag gusto mo shiny yung tires, apply twice.. Kapag new look, once..

At tsaka more of a conditioner kasi yang tireblack eh.. Kaya di rin siya ganoon ka-durable..

*Chikselog: Microtex Chamois isn't really good for removing the majority of water once after washing the car, thats why with BB they only use it after using the water blade, but the good thing with their chamois is that it has microfibers that prevent grits from being scratches across the paint, this is where it is better than conventional chamois

chikselog,
Napansin ko din, severe na ang swirls ng Vios mo ah. Hehehe. 3 step detail na yan sa bigberts!

Madkatz,
Nagbebenta parin ba ang bigberts ng qd? How much dati?

*SG: Last time na bili ko sa 250ml na bottle is P150.00 lang, sobrang sulit na to kse ok naman ang QD nila, dati nga daw nagbenta ata sila per liter or gal. yata.

Hehe di naman sir.. Dun lang sa panel na yun marami ..

Laking tulong din kasi ng mga wax na may swirl-filling capabilities like Step 2 .. Tsaka tinitipid ko clearcoat haha

*madkatz
I see, oo nga eh kala ko nakakatuyo agad siya, pero ok na rin kasi may MFs yung Chamois nila.. Ano bang brand yung gamit nila BB na water blade? Hindi ba siya nakaka-gasgas?

Onga pala, may napansin ako sa NanoGLOS, kasi diba after I applied and buffed it off, maya maya mga after 5 mins. pagbalik ko parang may puti siya, yun ba yung "coating moisture"? Di ko napansin kung moisture ba talaga siya basta may puti, after I wiped it, tanggal naman agad.

It says here sa package na
"Coating moisture may appear on the surface. Wipe it off after 15 mins. to enhance the paint's surface against cracking".

And BTW, may problema yung bote ko hehe.. Pag pinindot ko, kailangan itulak ko ulit para umangat, di siya umaangat mag-isa tulad nung sa tireblack

[madkatz]

*thx777: same here, at first you really take excellent care of your car and be really OC, well some people lessen the time they spend, i feel like i have but i still make sure i maintain it properly, my at first was also jealous of me always taking care of my car and i always just tell him, who the heck taught me to learn detailing and even went as far as having us both trained in meguiars? so yeah thats normal, but time with your wife is more valuable hehe

[madkatz]

*Starex_Gold and Chickselog: the tire black normally consumes more on the first application, it basically conditions the rubber during the first application and its like the rubber absorbs it more for the first application, but for the succeeding application you could already use much less, the principle is like leaving a layer of foundation, so after the initial application the succeeding application is like touch ups already, i've personally tried it and yeah you could use much less for the second application

[madkatz]

*Starex_Gold: they used to sell EO QD by the gallons for 1200 or 1400, i forgot they don't sell it anymore, now they're selling the red carpet QD for 150 pesos, for 250ml, if i may make a suggestion, try a small sample of the Microtex QD, it might take some time to get used to applying it properly but i would agree with chickselog that it does bead water exceptionally well for a QD, just tried it this morning, and if you like it and get a hang of it why not try that instead, 500ml for 330 bucks not far price wise from red carpet QD, i can't really say its better, you just have to try it out for yourself but so far people who have used it really liked it, they just needed a little practice on the applying part hehe

[madkatz]

*Chikselog: the water blade they use are konyo brand ( a funny name thats a perfect rip off from cali water blade ) sadly they don't sell it anymore, its really soft, and california water blade.

Yup thats the coating moisture, and as the name says thats what it does, after 15 minutes you just go over it again, you would notice that after you remove the coating moisture it gets a little more shinier, if you apply the wax only you shouldn't get much of this, its much more prominent when applied with a QD after waxing, but even though work wise i have to wipe it down again hehe im lazy, i still like the nano glos and nano sliq combo, you could really see an improvement when you use nano sliq after, its like they're designed to compliment and work with each other. and based on my experience after waxing, if i use their QD it gives more depth to the paint.

Thanks for the comment and input BTW, we really appreciate it

As for the lotion pump, i contacted the owner and he told me to tell you his apologies, he will replace the lotion pump for you, but pls keep the defective one, these are exactly what we need, we will bring it over to the lotion pump supplier to improve the quality and design, he's very diligent in keeping an eye for every small concern and just wants people to be pleased with his product

[madkatz]

*jmpet626: i tried to mighty bond the kp600 with some velcro and sometimes it still gets removed, is this normal or did i use too little mighty bond? i tried it and brought it along for a long weekend and sadly the velcro strips got removed, also have you tried the 105 and 205 already? im trying it up with some menzerna p085rd

I see.. Hmm, magkano yung Cali Water Blade? I might get one para madali na lang mag dry hehe.. Ngayon kasi I use Microtex Chamois then wipe with Terry after para walang watermarks na maiiwan sa paint/glass.

BTW I just washed the car kagabi, is it ok kapag i-dust off ko na lang siya and then wax it with NanoGLOS? Or wash ko dapat ulit?

As for the bottle, hehe ok lang daw po kamo.. Walang problema .. I'll bring to you guys the defective bottle kapag pwede na ulit ako. Monday ba pwede? After voting hehe.

Naka 2 packs ako ng mighty bond. Almost covered yung surface ng kp600 with velcro strips. Dapat saturated ng MB yung velcro strips para maganda yung kapit nya. Nalubog na sya nung ondoy pero ok pa din yung strips at di pa nag separate.

On hold muna ako sa detailing since wala ako garage, underconstruction kasi yung streets namin so street parking lang ako. Sa mga local car wash nga muna ako nag papa wax ngayon hehee. Wala pa yung order ko from AG so gamit ko muna ngayon is swirl X at White and black ccs na pad para substitue para sa 205.

I agree with madkatz, na ok yun water beading ng nanoSliq.
I applied it on top of Collinite 845, when I travelled NLEX last saturday habang umuulan, kita mo yun tubig dumudulas lang sa hood.
When I arrived at home, parang hindi naulanan yun kotse.
Ok din yun glass science for the windshield, I barely used my wiper nun nasa NLEX ako.

[Chikselog]

Just finished detailing using Microtex NanoGLOS and NanoSLIQ..

Result: (sorry for the pics, mabilisang kuha lang yan kasi pagod na ko! hehe)

[jozep]

*Chikselog - nice photos, ang kintab po ng oto nyo

[jmpet626]

Kamusta naman yung logevity ng Microtex Wax? Nung ginamit ko kasi yung sample ko pinatugan ko ng collinite 845 after.
