Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[mf051404]

*mf051404: Wow that stuff is kinda old school! yes its pretty much the same except that vaporwax is a lot more like a cleaner that really brings out the color of the paint, Nano Sliq is a QD that is basically gloss enhancing agents applied to the paint, basically vaporwax is like a cleaner spray wax. For both you need to use a MF cloth, for the vaporwax i haven't really used it that well to comment too much on it since i basically used it only once and its damn expensive to worth risk buying one top that with pretty bad reviews from most of the detailing forums the world over, but what we did was just use the aerosol spray to mist a little and let it dry for the cure time and remove it via MF cloth, Nano Sliq works pretty much the same without the wait. As for the Nano Glos, Nano Glos for me fills better and looks better, it doesn't always mean that if a wax is harder to remove that its more durable especially if its from TW, the only wax from TW i use are TW Platinum Paste and TW Black Box.

Easy to apply but durable for me would be, Liquid Glass Legend, Chemical Guys M-seal, or Chemical Guys Jet-seal, Jeff Werkstat Acrylic protector. Some products that can be also equally good but requires proper technique would be KSG and Collinite 476

Thank you very much! well said...good thing you mentioned Collinite 476s, because I just bought it, because it is now on sale at 50% off from AutoBisyo (and good reviews of course) ... it seems if you are after long-lasting protection and not gloss or shine, then go for industrial strength waxes/sealants, not OTC stuff...am I right?

Another question po sana...ano po maire-recommend niyong brand na pantanggal ng mga talsik ng spalto sa paint? Yung iba kasi kerosene lang ginagamit, hindi kaya matapang masyado to para sa paint?

well industrial strength waxes/sealants is not the right term if you ask me, see basically we classify them as specialty waxes, and under specialty waxes there's show shine waxes like souveran and p21s, theres beading and protection waxes like collinite, FK HT wax, and clearkote moose wax. And of course there's also the boutique waxes which is basically like all of the above combined into one like swissvax and AG HD wax, but these are damn expensive already since a 150g tub of AG HD wax is already 6500 pesos and the swissvax i have that i saved for costed me 12k for 1 tub.

I see...thanks for the info. I'm getting lots of good insights from this forum. I am one of those who are after total protection and not gloss, so that my car will last a bit longer and so far I'm getting some nice info how to do that, not to mention speed of reply
