hi madkatz!

Hello! sorry i've been busy lately, i've been trying to get 2 big boxes out of FedEx near customs, i ordered some more items from the US hehe and they're charging me an arm and a leg for it, jeez i hate those guys, but thankfully i got them all now, can't wait to try my latest addition to my waxes and sealants and polishes hehe, my BF is in the works of becoming the local distributor of Optimum Polymers here in the Philippines, hopefully all goes well with the papers and such, he also just recieved his first shipment of optimum products last friday and im trying to convince him to let you guys try the products haha

Wow thats some really great and shiny shots

[olidotcom]

+1 ako. she was the first who advised me how to take care of my first van.. thank you madkatz. =)

[Starex_Gold]

madkatz for President! este.. Moderator pala! :clap:

haha

[madkatz]

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?

HAHAHA! i so very well agree!

But don't go overboard like me hehe, i think i've already spent more or less 300k on detailing hehehe, my BF is at around 200k already i think, we are really bad examples so go and use your money else where

but yes i would agree that we shouldn't put a cap on our budget in taking care of our cars especially since cars are a huge investment.

keep it simple, no need for big brands, just get the ones that work and its all good

1. a nice gentle shampoo
2. a washmitt that won't scratch
3. a drying towel - preferable since chamois can really hurt paint
4. MF towels for buffing and polishing
5. prewax cleaner
6. wax/applicator
7. QD and MF in the car for removing tree saps and bird bombs

thats just for starters and you can already get great results

[madkatz]

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.

Paint touch up, you could bring your car over to a paint mixing shop and have them mix your cars color for you and do a slight touch up, well thats one, and then just buff it until its even

[olidotcom]

na ubos na yung nanosliq ko.. kailangang bumili na ulit.... wahehehhee....

[Starex_Gold]

Three hundred thousand pesos?!?! :shocked: :jawdrop:

[Chikselog]

Sarap ba gamitin? Hehehe. Below half na lang yung akin haha. Kintab kasi pag ginamit.

*madkatz
Pwede bang NanoSLIQ na lang pampakintab ko for the meantime? Kahit may 476 na ako ok lang ba yun? I mean, won't it affect 476 or something. Hehe thanks.

Grabe 300k FTW! :jawdrop:

[madkatz]

tsikot Detailers:

I-Nominate/Refer kaya natin si Maam madkatz para maging moderator ng More than the looks forum?

Kasi napapansin nyo, hindi at wala siyang pagod sa kasasagot ng questions natin. Sobrang bait at helpful niya. Good example of a good moderator

Watcha think?

o.O are you serious?

i haven't even logged in for days already, i actually somehow feel guilty to be honest but i think you would better suit the position hahaha you are also a good candidate for the position hehe

and more than looks forum? the only think i know about is detailing since its caused by my nature being OC hehehe i don't even know that much about others stuffs when it comes t cars hehe.

what do i think? you're crazy! hahaha!

swabe siya gamitin... once a week lang kasi ako nag full carwash.. in between weeks pag may mga nakikita akong talsik / finger or hand prints / yun ang gamit ko pang linis... it really takes it off easy..

ang mali ko... medjo napa-lakas ang gamit ko kaya ubos agad siya.. hehee.. my fault.

Hahaha! i didn't know those jaw dropping emoticons come in two colors hehe, well if time permits and if im coming to the detailing seminar i just might bring over some of my waxes, i already have a box of waxes at my BF's place and we usually help people who are interested so who knows, but you have to be in good terms with my BF since the detailing sessions usually happen in his place.

I already told him to share some of the waxes in my OTC wax box with you guys incase i can't attend, if ever im coming i can't stay long downstairs since i have to avoid dusts and dirt in the meantime, i have a photoshoot coming up to help my photographer friend and i wouldn't want to get lots of pimples, if ever im not i would probably be in intramuros or antipolo for the shoot that day, but hopefully i'll be seeing your guys after it

Yup you could use NanoSliq for boosting gloss and appearance of 476, so far i've tried it with a 3 week old coat of 476 and it works well , i'll also let you try the Optimum Gloss Enhancer and lets see which one works better among the 2

haha yup 300k, and i actually feel bad about it hehe

[madkatz]

madkatz: Good candidate eh kulang kulang detailing kit ko :hysterical:

hahaha!

Hahaha don't worry you'll get there eventually, step by step one item at a time, but i hope you don't spend as much as i do hahaha

[Starex_Gold]

Went to Sir Edwin's place last saturday, I was very fortunate to see his new detailing products.






According to Sir Edwin, Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer is a very good product, it really repels dust, maybe because it utilizes flouropolymers (according to their website) which is also used in Teflon.

[jmpet626]

Meron ba available na sample sizes ng Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer?


*azzkkr2600

Madali lang yung RO polisher like portercable 7424xp. Yung wp1300k meron ako nakita sa sulit nasa 3.9k lang sa ace hardware nasa 5k siya eh hanap na lang ng velcro backing plate. Plano ko din kumuha ng 1300k nainspire din ako sa training ni Sir edwin on how to use rotary buffer. Mabilis kasi mag correct ng defects yung rotary compared sa RO buffer pero mas risky ang rotary compared sa RO
