doc scharn: pwede po. Pero mas madali kung Applicator pad talaga

ejhay17: sa blade meron nyan. Kahit sa Mothers shop ganun din price.

[scharnhorst]

*aejhayl17: sa blade ako kukuha... almost 685 ata step 3, 585 ata yung step 2.

*SG: would you recommend yung micromagic or yung sa blade? or meron ba Mothers?

[Starex_Gold]

doc scharn: yung 88 pesos po tapos 4 pieces na. Maganda naman daw po yun sabi ni chikselog.

Yung Mothers applicator pad ganun din naman po. mas mahal lang

[ess]

Ms. Whiskers strikes again!!! Pestengyawa! Leche!


Suko na ako. Nakakawalang gana na talaga pag may pusa na umaaligid sa neighborhood!

[jagtemp]

*SG medyo malayo kasi dito 'un eh.. mas malapit ako sa Blade. Anyway, pwede bang parehong applicator pad ang gamit for Step 2 and 3?

Anong brands ng cloths gamit niyo for the different tasks/steps?
1. washing
2. drying
3. applying wax
4. buffing wax

Thanks!

Bawal ang parehong applicator pad. Dapat magka iba. Pati yung MF cloth na pang buff dapat magkaiba din.

1. washing - Bigbert's Car shampoo, SM Arnolds Wash mitt
2. drying - Microtex chamois
3. applying wax - Lake Country applicator pads
4. buffing wax - dami eh California MF cloths, Microtex plush

*sir ess
Sir you can always get rid of that thing or siya naman ang kalmutin mo. Kapag may ganyang pusa samin matagal ko nang hinagis yan.

Pero seriously, if you plan again on removing those scratches, I suggest do it after the rainy season. Hayaan mo munang maipon ang mga defects kaysa naman ngayon tanggalin, tapos after rainy season may new defects na naman like water etchings and some swirls.

Sigh... kung kaya ko lang hulihin, baka hindi lang hagis ang mapala nung pusang yon. That cat has truly become a pest. I've made sure walang source of food sa garden at garahe namin. But the thing is...may karinderya sa tapat namin. I'm quite sure that cat is getting its sustenance from that karinderya. Tapos ginagawa niyang tulugan yung kotse ko.


RE: Wait for end of rainy season
Yep...ganon nga. Rain brings cold. Cold + warm engine attracts cat.

In the mean time, I realized that most of the scratches were caused by the cat failing to get traction on the hood because of the slickness of the wax.

I wonder... is there a wax that is NOT SLICK but at the same time shiny and provides protection? I was thinking if the hood is not slick, the stupid cat will not have a hard time climbing and hence, less scratches...

[Chikselog]

*sir ess
Sir IMO kahit po hindi slick ang wax talagang dudulas at dudulas pa rin siya kasi the paint mismo is slippery. Hehe. Lagyan nyo na lang po ng car cover. O kaya, abangan nyo tapos pag umakyat, barilin nyo ng pellet gun haha.

Sir will you be joining the detailing seminar ni sir edwin in case it pushes through?

[ess]

I probably can't join the session if it pushes through. I've already exceeded my "car care" time budget alloted by my wife. :D

[Chikselog]

Ay, sayang. Hehehe. Family time daw muna?

[ess]

hahaha yeah.

[Starex_Gold]

Napatay ko na siguro yung pusa pag ginanyan ang mga auto ko.

[scharnhorst]

hindi ko ata pwedeng itapon yung nakagasgas sa auto namin. hehe.

tried something with the mz2 today...

mothers step 2, then step 3, then nanosliq.

nag umpisa ako merienda, pagtapos ko dinner na. hehe.

ambango ng carnauba at ng nanosliq

tomorrow... the ranger!

question lang mga sirs, what do you guys do pag inulan auto nyo? para kasing nakakastrip talaga ng wax kahit anong car shampoo kahit gano ka mild...

[Chikselog]

Nakaka-strip talaga sir pero syempre mas mild = less wax stripped. So the best pa rin use the shampoos that says it doesn't strip wax. Or ask the experts what's the mildest shampoo na pwedeng bilhin hehe.

Doc. Before and After pics naman sa Ranger!

this one with flash:


hopefully the sun will cooperate tomorrow (para makita yung swirls and scratches! haha)

*Chikselog: hehe. sige sir! sobrang dumi nanaman nya at the moment

[Starex_Gold]

hmmm. Nice detail doc! :clap:

Suggestion ko lang po, pag nililinis nyo po yung mga auto, mas maganda kung isasama mo rin yung wheel wells at yung loob ng mags
