*Chikselog: ah. yun pala yun...

looked at our cars. yep, may orange peel pa yung mz2. and the 10 y.o. ranger still has it on some panels. hehe

I'm going to have to try nanoGLOS on the pickup.

pagbalik galing ng roadtrip.

Kintab naman niyan Chik. Labas pagka-red.

Baka naman maulanan mo ng talent yung kotse ko, at makatikim naman ng kahit iisang detailing session.

Tamad kasi magdetail eh, pati alang pangdetail. :hihihi:

Hehehe, j/k.

Hehehe. Actually first time ko lang gamitin yung NanoGLOS. The night before that kasi, I tried it on one panel na maraming swirls, ayun nabawasan hehe, 80-90% of the swirls on those panels were concealed. Nabitin ako kaya napasubo akong i-wax yung buong car ..

Ayon, worth it naman .. Dad has the car right now, I'll check it when he comes back

*sir renzo
Puro mods ka raw kasi ..

Detail naman daw! Hahaha

Problem ko din to sa Sta Fe. Wavy at blurred yung reflection sa left and right front quarter panel. DI daw kaya i buff yun kelagan pa daw i sand para pumantay yung clear coat..

[Chikselog]

Sir jmpet ok lang yan.. Indicator yan na makapal pa clearcoat mo kaya para sa akin ok lang na mag-stay siya dun.. Di naman halata pag malayo hehe

*jmpet626: the durability of NanoGlos for me would be comparable to most OTC waxes like Mothers Step 3 and NXT, its at part with those 2 in terms of maintaining the shine, as for water beading, its been a little over a month and it still beads and sheets quite well, but you would notice it starting to loosen its touch especially with the sudden rain showers lately, i would say its up with the more durable OTC's

[madkatz]

*jmpet626: you might want to have a detail shop do it instead for you, you need a flat pad and a rotary for faster results, if you're gonna use the PC7424xp it would take you a lot longer to remove them, one tip though if you'll be using the pc to remove the orange peels, try the 105, it worked best for me with the rotary i guess the same could be said for the pc 7424, but if it was me i would just leave the orange peel, this way i have a lot more clear coat for buffing off swirls, and its gonna flatten after some buffing anyway so why not just wait for that, just my 2 cents

:rofl01:

Di ko kaya DIY eh.

Tapos once a month lang nacacarwash oto ko. :bwahaha:

Pero so far, makintab pa naman. I think it just needs some detailing sessions.

* madkatz:hi! can we use a machine with the mothers carnauba cleaner wax? got watermarks on hood and roof. swirlmarks and some scratches. also have microtex nanoglos and qd. dunno what products to use...??hope we can meet up soon!

[Starex_Gold]

jmpet626: bigatin! May SF ka pala. Nakaka inggit naman. hehehe..

medyo matindi yung orange peel or "balat suha" ng SF mo. Pagawa mo nalang yan sa detail shop. btw, ano po balita dun sa Tucson?

Ipa Bigberts mo na yan..

Madali lang naman DIY.. Dati nagsimula ako sa old tshirt na pang-apply ng wax .. Pero marami namang tutulong sayo dito

*Chikselog

Medyo halata siya di lang masyado kita sa pic. Yup tama kayo ni Madkatz siguro hayaan ko na lang sayang din kasi yung clear coat. Medyo halata kasi sya pag bagong wax.

*SG

Sa Dad ko yung SF. Ako lang taga detail nila. Nakuha ko na yung Tucson and buti naman maganda yung kinalabasan sakto yung color shade.

[Starex_Gold]

detailers,
nagkaron ng scratch sa windshield yung Tucson ko.. :cry:

is there a way para matanggal yun?

nakaka inis, yung body walang swirl marks, pero yung glass nagka scratch :hammer: :hammer:

[Chikselog]

Sir SG..

Pics

EDIT: Pero AFAIK I think the best that can happen is ma reduce yung itsura ng scratch, that is, if it's not too deep

[Starex_Gold]

eto pics. IMO hindi sya malalim kasi pag hinimas mo yung scratch hindi naman mararamdaman.





matagal na yan actually. Nagkamali ako ng ginamit para alisin yung numbers from the funrun. Kiwi din kasi yung pinang sulat ng numbers

[Chikselog]

Na try nyo na glass cleaner sir? (baka lang sakaling makuha).. Judging from the pics light lang yan

Kapag di nakuha sa glass cleaner, light polish. Start from the very least polish/abrasive..

[Starex_Gold]

Sa tingin ko hindi kaya ng glass cleaner. Kasi nakaka tanggal lang naman yun ng water marks e.

[Chikselog]

Try nyo na rin sir, baka sakali lang makuha. Let's wait for madkatz' post..

[madkatz]

*SG: well im with chicks with the least aggressive method so

1. use alcohol or glass cleaner and try to remove if its still there

2. try a glass scrub like glass science glass scrub or mothers chrome polish ( it can also be used for glass )

3. have it glass polished

is that on the outside? based on how i look at it, it seems like its scratches from the tint inside either that or its from the protective film from OEM glass, our toyota had this when we first bought it but it was totally removed during glass polishing, in any case if its from the outside it shouldn't be a big thing if you can't feel it with your nail

[madkatz]

*azzkkr2600: ah yeah you can use a machine for the cleaner wax, i haven't asked my BF when he would be available, we have a detailing seminar tomorrow for people at microtex up until next week and we have some project cars to detail, but i'll text him and ask him, i think you texted him a few days back, i don't know what you two had agreed upon
