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.

Ah, I guess I'll stick with the Mother's na lang. Thanks for those tips ulit man, I hope I do everything correctly. And yes, I'm in the process of reading this whole thread! Haha lalo ako naeexcite tuloy.

Well, its great to see that you have the right enthusiasm to learn about detailing, but if i were you, i would recommend you just attend the detail seminar if it pushes thru, that way people can see and refer the best product for your paint/car, and that way you learn a lot about procedures and products and techniques.

Thanks for the invite Miss. I just hope that we'll be back here by that time.

NXT VS Step 3 would depend on a lot of factors, like NXT is better for darker vehicles and for rainy season, Step 3 is better for red and yellow and light blue cars and its more economical

Collinite is available locally, if you are attending the upcoming detail seminar you might be able to buy some from my BF which is an authorized reseller, or the actual distributor might also be there, we're hoping to get either the distributor of Microtex or Collinite to be there and hopefully help us with the seminar.

As for the do's and don'ts i'll see if i have enough energy to do a write up, im drained from teaching my little brother how to swim.

Oh, that just gives me another reason to go to this seminar. Would Collinite be better than Step3? Or is there any 'best' wax for a specific color? BTW, this is really really very kind of you, sharing your time, and knowledge of course, with us for this seminar. You must really love tsikot. : D

jagtemp: Kailangan mo din ng carnauba cleaner wax. Kahit every 2 months mo lang gamitin kasi white ang Tucson iX mo

Para san ba yan bro? Kailangan ba yan gawin bago ako mag-wax ngayon? Anung brands kaya ok?
Lol, oo nga eh. Sayo nagsimula lahat 'to nung nakita ko ung pinost mo na pics sa tuc thread. :shocked: Na-guilty ako e Hahaha

BTW. Sino nga pala may Microtex Elite drying towel? Maganda ba? Walang naiiwang trail ng tubig pag nag dry ng oto? I'm planning to buy one kasi soon. Pwede kasing makatanggal ng wax ang chamois accdg. to sir edwin.

Gusto ko rin malaman yan bro. Right now eto na un bilbilin ko, un pinost mo

When washing = Wash Mitt
When drying = Drying towel or Good-quality Chamois
When applying wax = Applicator pad (Example brands are SM Arnolds, Micromagic, Meguiars)
When Buffing off wax = Plush Microfiber Towel (Example is the Microtex Plush/Ultra Plush)

Hey thanks ulit guys for entertaining my scupid questions.
Now I'm all fired up.. can't wait to get a hold of these things.

[Starex_Gold]

jagtemp: yung carnauba cleaner wax, cleaner & carnauba wax sya.. combined ba. Maganda yun pang linis ng paint mo kasi banilya white yung Tucson iX mo. hehe..

Mothers maganda. I would suggest mag straight mothers ka. Tapos yung pang LSP mo Collinite.

Ah, 'ung Step1 cleaner wax ba un? Iingatan ko na nga ngayon eh, naging yellow kasi ung mac3 ko noon. Hehe.

Siguro nga bubuoin ko na nga lang ung Mothers. 'Ung application ba nun sabay sabay palagi? Or ung Step 2 and 3 lang 'ung weekly or ibang combination? Ah ok lang ba na 2 layers ng wax? Step3 + Collinite?



And ano kayang type ng Collinite 'un para sa white?


Thanks bro

PS would i still need to buy a car shampoo kahit gawin ko moms 3steps?

i have the megs version, yung water magnet. Ok naman, pagmay wax pa yung car you can use the towel for drying the whole car. although yung windows i use chamois. mas ok pa din pangdry ang chamois kung ang concern mo talaga drying lang.

although di ko alam kung halos same sila ng elite.. better ask golti kasi he uses one.

Step 1 di siya cleaner wax. Pre-wax cleaner siya. Meaning pure cleaners lang siya so slightly abrasive siya. Layo ka muna dun dahil bago pa naman oto mo.

Collinite 915 = Makintab. Durable. Beads water. Combination siya ng kintab and protection.
Collinite 476 = Less kintab than 915. Beads water a little better than 915. Slightly more durable than 915. Cheaper than 915.

I see. Medyo nag-aalangan lang kasi ako sa chamois kasi may trail pa ng tubig na naiiwan and there's a bigger chance na maka strip off siya ng wax.

No, magkaiba sila nung step 1 cleaner. May slight abrasive yun. Yung carnauba cleaner wax wala. Paint cleaner & carnauba wax combined sya. Babaguhin ko yung statement ko, sabi ng manager ng Mothers HQ, once a month daw pag white.

ganito gawin mo:
weekly: Step 2 + Step 3
monthly:Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax + Step 2 + Collinite Sapphire Auto wax (pang white yan).

Matinding protection na iyan. Mahihiya nang dumapo ang putik diyan.

Lintek ang aabutin ng putik pag dumapo pa diyan sa paint :diablo:

Eto pampa inspire
Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax + Collinite Marque D Elegance 915


bro jmpet626: Grabe napa kintab mo ang white Monty!

[dotnetmatt]

Sana nga matuloy mga boss. Sayang nga lang di aabot yung pinadala ng utol ko ng porter cable XP. Sana dun mabibinyagan. hehehe

[jagtemp]

Wew thanks sa mga suggestion mga bossing

So may Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax pa pala bukod sa Step3. Ang dami pala Haha

'Un Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax + Step 2 + Step 3 meron naman 'yan sa Blade siguro no? 'Un Collinite kapag naka sama ako sa seminar niyo bibili na rin ako nun.

Wait, I still need the car shampoo right? So, shampoo - step3 - step3. Tapos 'pag monthly, 'un pinost ni bro SG.

PS nakaka-inggit talaga 'yang Premium mo SG.

[jmpet626]

Parang mas madali ma spread yung collinite 915 ngayong tag lamig. Nag wax ako kanina and naikot ko yung buong car bago ko i buff off and madali natanggal yung 915

[Starex_Gold]

jagtemp: syempre basic needs ang car shampoo. Sa bigberts 400 pesos lang ang 1 gallon car shampoo. 1 year ko na ginagamit yun. Maganda naman

[azzkkr2600]

this thread has been very informative (kahit na hindi ko pa nababasa lahat)! salamat sa mga posts nyo at natututo ako at madami pang mga tsikoteers! sana makapunta din ako sa seminar ni sir edwin at ma'am madkatz. hindi nga lang ako bihasa dito sa manila. lalo na caloocan. can anyone give me directions?

[azzkkr2600]

by the way, these are all i have (as of yet) for detailing: mothers carnauba cleaner wax, microtex plush (pink?), microtex terry towel (orange), microtex chamois, microtex nanoglos, and microtex nanosliq. planning to buy collinite 915 and/or 476 (na-enganyo ako sa inyo) kasi ang kikintab ng mga rides nyo! should i also buy mothers 3-step system and megs swirlX? balak din bumili ng black and decker wp1300 or makita (but expensive). my truck's color is dupont dark blue metallic. help! hirap magpakintab kasi dami na watermarks, first time ko i-wax (3yrs after repainting it) about a month ago. ang hirap din pla handwax appli and buffing kaya parang gusto ko laging may machine na gamit na lang. i guess ngayon ay kelangan i-detail (ippadetail ko sana sa bigberts kaso parang napakamahal e) na talaga using a machine polisher.

[scharnhorst]
