+ 1 to this..

1. slickness of the paint
2. water beading
3. shine
4. repelling ability to contaminants

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.

Great job for a first detail! if you want to use a chamois, try Microtex Chamois, i know i might sound like im pushing a product already but there's a reason why most of the top detailers use Microtex Products hehe, either that or Microtex Elite or any soft towel

oh yeah and don't forget to dry the lower part of the bumper, you can get water marks leaving them that way

after:








medyo di pa tuyo...di ko pa napunasan ng maayos



bakit ayaw kumintab?




now i know what "dugo at pawis" means hehehe

Awww, be sure to treat that properly, at least you now have a better appreciation for your blood and sweated engine detailed car hehe, great job!

Minsan ko lang ito sasabihin

pag dating sa detailing kits, huwag po natin titipirin ang sarili natin kasi baka hindi gaano kaganda ang kalabasan

diba maam Madkatz?

kaya dapat konting ingat sa mga singit singit na maraming hoses!

buti nga kayo eh may kung ano ano pang protectant!..ako Gaas lang gamit ko tapos ariel sa balde at basahan na pantuyo, yung sampu isandaan!...

ito pa matindi!..baby oil ang pampakintab!...

ang premyo ko?...pinuri ng carwash boys yung engine bay ko after 3days nung nagpacarwash ako!...

Haha thats actually the SOP in most Casa's and Big detailing shops, the reason they use kerosene is because its very safe especially when you get them into someplaces water cant like alternator and such, its pretty much the fail safe way of engine detailing, another bonus to this is that its very good against oil and gunk, but there are some cases where rubber parts actually crack and some even liquify when used with kerosene but these are usually horror stories from very old cars, not with the new ones, and for the baby oil its actually a nice tip i've come across years ago but protectants nowadays are cheaper than baby oil hehehe

convincing iyang nanosliq na iyan.

Diba spray direct to the body lang yan tapos wipe with MF cloth na?

Yup, pretty much like a QD, and yes i agree with chicks that it does feel slick like a just waxed car, not to mention it even beads water hehe

[madkatz]

Classified ba as spray wax ang nano sliq or Quick detailer lang siya?

NanoSliq is actually more like a spray wax, based on how i understand how it was designed was that its designed for removing light dusts and finger prints and contaminants but its also designed to prolong and further enhance Nano Glos' shine and protection, and based on how it performs its more of a spray wax than a QD, its too thick for a QD actually.

Hi all,

is there any other minor/budget friendly remedy sa deep scratches? (halos labas na yung metal..) but many said that it reached the primer lang.. but still.. malalim pa din siya...=(

i saw this clip sa youtube na merong parang nilagay na filler-type paste.. then touch up paint.. it looked really good.

thanks.
