Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[dotnetmatt]

Share ko na rin experience ko.

Ingat na lang guys sa paggamit ng mga Chamois, nakakatanggal siya ng wax kapag ni-drag mo across the paint. Siguro kung gagamit ng chamois, light wiping lang then tuyuin na lang ng MF towel ang natirang trail ng tubig.

Kasi langya natanggal ba naman 476 ko. Before ako nag-wipe using chamois ok na ok pa beading niya.Pati siguro Step 2 ko tanggal rin panigurado. Haay. Kaya nawalan na ko gana magdetail kanina hahaha.

Bukas siguro detail na ulit using 476.

*SG
Di kaya overkill naman masyado? Hehe dami masyadong pinatong.

* Chikselog, sir like what they said in mothers.com (detailguide.com)

"We also don't recommend using a natural or synthetic chamois for everyday drying. The chamois material, especially a natural chamois, develops a large amount of friction when being pulled across your paint, almost to the point of suction. The problem: this "dragging traction" is sufficient enough to distort and/or strip wax from your paint. Also, there is very little nap to a chamois (synthetic or natural), so any particles not washed off have a higher chance of being rubbed directly onto the paint and causing scratches and swirl marks. They were great in the old days, but modern paints are best left to a quality microfiber drying towel"

kaya ako never ako gumamit ng chamois for drying.

microtek elite lang po gamit ko for drying.

just bought some materials for tomorrow's honeymoon plan with my ZZ.



any reviews about this? sachet lang binili ko, try ko muna.


sayang di ako nakabili ng buffer? polisher? Black and Decker KP600 ata? cost 3200, kulang ang pambili.

[Chikselog]

Nice purchases sir EJ! That Carnauba Cleaner Wax (CCW) will come in handy .

Although I'm not sure about the 3M scratch remover. Ingat na lang po sa pag gamit niyan. Use very light pressure lang just to be safe.

*sir dotnetmatt
Oo nga po eh. I'm planning on buying that Microtex Elite towel soon. Namahalan lang ako sa kanya noon kaya di ko binili.

budget mode kase. i wasnt able to buy mother's step 2 and 3that i originally planned for.

[Chikselog]

Ok lang yan sir. Those will come in handy trust me. Hehe. Walang masasayang diyan. Kapag napunta ka sa seminar ni sir edwin malalaman mo kung paano gamitin lahat iyan hehe.

BTW guys: Announcement from sir Edwin

Teka I'll quote na lang.

"kung kaya, wait for the seminar before they buy anything"

Para raw alam ng lahat ang mga products na nababagay for their car.

Mas recommeneded yung Microtex wafflle weave drying towel or yung California na MF drying towel. Mas madali na mag tuyo and di mo siya kelagan i drag sa surface ng paint. I dadaplis mo lang dapat sa paint para di maka gasgas at maka strip ng wax

[jmpet626]

OK. Short review ko sa dalawang wax na ginagamit ko

Collinite Marque D Elegance 915- Damn durable! Grabe yung water beading. But not that shiny. Napapansin ko din pag eto gamit ko, nagiging dark bronze yung shade ng paint.

Though hindi ko pa nasusubukan yung Mothers S&G + 915 combo. Sabi nila maganda daw kalalabasan kasi makintab talaga yung S&G.

Mothers Step 3 + Reflections Top Coat- Not that durable. Pero exceptional shine. As in. Best combo na nasubukan ko so far, lalo na pag may S&G pa. Okay din naman yung water beading pero hindi masyado tumatagal.

Sabi ni madkatz hindi maganda yung 915 + Top Coat combo. What if try ko kaya yung S&G + 915 + step 3 + Top coat?

Sakin naman ok yung kintab ng 915 vs 845 para sa Blue na Jazz ko nakaka 2 application na ko within 2 weeks parang naging dark at deep yung shine. Pag umulan din parang bagong car wash ulit tanggal yung mga putik dahil madulas yung 915.


Yung mothers naman ok yung kintab pero sobrang short ng life niya parang glaze na lang ang life niya. Since nag collinite ako di na nagagamit lahat ng mothers products ko. Sayang nga eh kimumpleto ko pa naman yung wax line ng mothers

Baka matanggal lang yung layers ng wax kung madaming product na aaply kahit walang cleaner yung wax pero yung process ng pag apply ng wax at pag buff off ay matanggal yung previous layer. Dapat atleast 8 hours antayin bago mag apply ng isa pang layer.

[scharnhorst]

^^hindi pala durable yung step 3 ng mothers...?

eto before and after pics ng ranger. hehe. struck by a fever kaya nanosliq/glos yung nagawa ko (step 2+3 sana)

naflat yung isang tyre:

[scharnhorst]

pinavulcanize ko na yung naflat: hindi pako, fiberglass yung nakahole nung tyre!

[Chikselog]

*Doc
Ganda pa ng paint ng Ranger mo talaga . Yung mga scratches mo polish lang yan and it's as good as new .

Sama ka ba sa detailing seminar, doc? Hehehe. Big chance na matuloy na raw sabi ni sir edwin. Sana nga matuloy na haha.

[scharnhorst]

*dotnetmatt: hehe. kaya garage queen ngayon yung mz2, rainy day car yung ranger para pag may baha, okey lang

maraming imperfections na hindi na kakayanin ng detailing.. lalim na talaga, tapos may mga parts na nagcacrack na yung pintura

June 14 diba? holiday na talaga yun? (hindi ba 11?)

[Chikselog]

Yes doc June 14. Katatapos ko lang ulit magwax ng 476. Kaso mabilisan lang hahaha tamad eh. Gusto ko paturo kung paano tamang diskarte sa 476 sa seminar. Tapos ipapatry din ata sakin ni sir ed yung Microtex Elite. Kapag naituro na sakin yung sa 476 baka dun ko na tirahin ulit. Para mai-correct ang pagkakamali ko sa pag-apply.

[Starex_Gold]

Grabe doc scharn! Parang bago parin yung paint nung ranger. :clap:

Nice shine

[RustyXIII]

How can one really tell if there is still wax on a car's paint? I know shine is an indicator but what is "shiny" can be very subjective. Any other way to test and know for real?

Sir rusty ngayung tagulan dmo na kelangan lumayo. Sa beading nlang ng tubig ulan sa kotse mo makikita mo na kung may wax pa or kelangan mo na mag rewax.

[jagtemp]

Howdy

Had my first experience of detailing a while ago and it really is tiring! I don't know if I did it right so I guess I'll be throwing a few questions again.

It was already dark when I finished so these don't really show much.











Moms Step2 and 3 lang 'un nilagay ko. Di lang talaga ako sigurado kung gaano karami 'un kailangan ilagay sa applicator pad. ?? Sobrang konti lang nilagay ko kanina so di ko tuloy alam if that's enough. *Step2 - paste, Step3 - liquid. Gaano kaya karami dapat?

I was also using the chamois to dry it after washing, okay lang ba na 'un pang dry? Medyo ramdam kasi ung friction kapag pinupunas.

Puting Puti! Nice
