Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[Chikselog]

Yon. Man I'm learning a lot from you. Can't wait to buy them weapons tom. Haha. And ano mas okay Meg NXT or Step3? Malaki ba difference besides their cost? 'Un Collinite ba available locally?

Thanks!

PS Gusto ko ng ganyang result! Ka-inggit.
EDIT oh, ano 'un mga don'ts sa waxing guys?

Nagaalangan kasi ako baka masira lang 'un new exterior ng auto instead of making it look better. :?

Is there anything else that I need to know? Like How long should I let the wax dry before buffing it?

For me, Step3. Megs NXT I think is a show car wax. I may be wrong though. Pero nagbe-bead din ng water ang NXT like step 3. Collinite kasi may exclusive distributor lang siya. I don't know if may stock pa ang ating fellow tsikoteer na si madkatz.

Do's
1. Make sure the car is clean before waxing.
2. Do not Wash and Wax in direct sunlight.
3. Always use clean detailing materials.
4. Apply wax per panel to avoid having a hard time removing the wax.
5. And read the whole detailing thread
Don'ts
1. Opposite of above.

For the right time in removing wax, use the "finger swipe" test. Just swipe your finger and if the wax is already dry, you can buff it off immediately. Usually mga 10-30 seconds lang pwede na tanggalin ang applied wax.

ikelangan ba sir lageng partner? or pwedeng pag-mag-apply ako, yung step2 lang?

Best if magka-partner sir. Pwede ring Step 3 lang. Most waxes kasi are meant to be used sa ka-partner niya (ka-brand, hehe).

Yung Step 2 kasi won't last long dahil hindi siya talaga wax. Sealer and Glaze siya. Best to top it off with Step 3 (Pure carnauba Wax). Step 2 is meant to be topped off with an LSP (Last Step Protection) wax like Pure Carnauba Waxes.
