Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[Starex_Gold]

Ay! :gayfight:

Ganda ng sig mo bro. I'm sure maraming tatamaan diyan. Napakarami kasing iresponsable sa pag aalaga ng sasakyan

Malaking investment ang kotse, kaya dapat inaalagaan diba. Meron akong nakikita mga E46 BMW tapos yung paint kasing labo ng walang clear coat

Nakaka bili ng kotse, pang detail hindi kayang bilihin? Come on

[Chikselog]

*SG
Yeah. Laziness to detail is not an excuse . Nakakainis din kasi yung mga gamit lang ng gamit ng oto. Kahit naman sa professional detailer lang kung tinatamad pwede na, kahit tayo minsan ganoon din naman syempre. Pero basta maalagaan yung kotse.

*All / Detailers
Hehe pagpasensyahan nyo na sig ko. I just encountered somebody who really pissed me off. Instead of asking nicely na lang, humirit pa.

What's an SUV if you only know how to press the gas and the brake and don't know how to take care of it? Sheesh gimme a break. :hammer:

[aejhayl17]

ayoko na talaga tumatambay dito sa thread na to. tumutulo laway ko e ang kikinis at ang kikintab!

dapat bawal na magpost ng pics! lalo akong nagi-guilty na di marunong maglinis at mag-alaga ng exterior ng auto.

*chicks very nice detail again. idol talaga! wag na makipag-away ah!

[madkatz]

*azzkkr2600: balitaan nyo ako kung pupunta ulit kayo ha... naiintriga ako dun sa optimum spray on wax

I'd like to up the query earlier... gaano katagal bago patungan ng nanosliq or kahit anong QD yung 476?

I just detailed our mz2... currently waiting at least 4 hours before I put anything else on top of the 476

nope you don't need to wait 4 hours if its nano sliq after 476, the 4 to 8 hours is only for wax coating and QD that has oils

[madkatz]

initially use 600 grit, then finish off with 1200-2000 grit. Some people start with 180-320 then finish off with 600. Depends how smooth you want the finish to be.

wow 600 grit? thats a bit too rough IMO, what we use is first start with 1500 grit, and then 2000 and finish with 2500, at 2500 its very easy to polish off, you don't need to use a rubbing compound anymore, any top shelf polish can remove 2500 sanding marks already. hehe just a suggestions since i think 2500 grits sandpaper is cheaper than rubbing compound hehe

EJ, bro pag nalaman mo yung kwento maaasar ka din. Promise.

Aanuhin ang brand new black Ford Explorer kung di naman alam gamitin ng may ari?

Naku chiks I'm sure di nya alam na na-aadjust ang gas at brake pedal ng Explorer.

*SG may bago ba tayong toy? :slurp:

hi mam madkatz. ask ko lang po kung ano po yung product na pang de-grime?

[madkatz]

I've used that brand already, the Do-it i mean, and so far its a nice product but its still a little hard to find most of the OEM paint codes from them in Ace and bringing it to the plant might not be a viable option for most, but there's this one time when i used this to paint a wheel black, and the first color coat (not do it BTW )was really nice, deep black liquid shine but when i sprayed on the Do-it clear coat on top, it sort of reacted and sort of boiled down and i've cured this for 4 days already, now im not discouraging people from buying their brand ok? nor am i saying anything negative, but for starters who want to do touch ups, its always best to try this on inconspicuous area's of the car, there you can check safely if the product works well with you car's paint, all im saying is take caution, i usually check for a paints compatibility with a cars existing paint by dabbing some on the bottom of the bumper chin where its bound to have scratches and try some on that part first. but overall a good product it can stand toe to toe with VHT and other known brands

[madkatz]

More pics: Whew, buti na lang hapon pasok ko bukas. Hahaha.




(paint yung nasa baba hehe.)

Nice job! its a good thing it didn't rain that afternoon, BTW we just got back my BF's innova from Toyota North and we're pissed right now because when we got back home using my Innova his Innova was emitting a weird sound, im pissed because i had to use my precious Inna to drive around in the mud just to fetch his relatives, we're pissed because we started having problems with ABS lights always showing up, after nearly 5 weeks of that car from them we got it a while ago thinking all is good since the ABS light is gone only to come home to an Innova that has a dead battery and busted lights

[madkatz]

Ako after claying, wash ulit ng car bago mag wax

Hehe you could skip this step with a cleaning QD in hand, just make sure you clean and wipe the area thoroughly, i sometimes even do double passes just to make sure its clean, but yeah washing the car is still the best step after claying, its just some people are really lazy like ME! hahaha

*SG may bago ba tayong toy? :slurp:

hi mam madkatz. ask ko lang po kung ano po yung product na pang de-grime?

Anong bagong toy bro? Bagong patatahimikin o bagong kotse?

[aejhayl17]

Anong bagong toy bro? Bagong patatahimikin o bagong kotse?

bagong patatahimikin bro! :cheer:

bakit? may bagong kotse ka na naman? :clap:hahaha

[madkatz]

Ay! :gayfight:

Ganda ng sig mo bro. I'm sure maraming tatamaan diyan. Napakarami kasing iresponsable sa pag aalaga ng sasakyan

Malaking investment ang kotse, kaya dapat inaalagaan diba. Meron akong nakikita mga E46 BMW tapos yung paint kasing labo ng walang clear coat

Nakaka bili ng kotse, pang detail hindi kayang bilihin? Come on

i so agree with this! imagine some of the cars we detail, some are euro sports cars like Ferrari's and Porsche's and the horror stories are really terrible, if you happen to meet my BF ask him about those stories, there's even this guy to claims he's already spend 13.5m on his white Porsche boxter with all the mods but any relatively new 2 year old taxi driving past us has a better paint condition.

Yeah. Laziness to detail is not an excuse . Nakakainis din kasi yung mga gamit lang ng gamit ng oto. Kahit naman sa professional detailer lang kung tinatamad pwede na, kahit tayo minsan ganoon din naman syempre. Pero basta maalagaan yung kotse.

Hehe pagpasensyahan nyo na sig ko. I just encountered somebody who really pissed me off. Instead of asking nicely na lang, humirit pa.

What's an SUV if you only know how to press the gas and the brake and don't know how to take care of it? Sheesh gimme a break. :hammer:

hahaha care to share the story? im sure people reading are also intrigued by this hahaha, but post it outside the thread.

[madkatz]

*SG may bago ba tayong toy? :slurp:

hi mam madkatz. ask ko lang po kung ano po yung product na pang de-grime?

basically any cleaner wax can be used to degrime, the standard product we use is Megs 66 Quick Detailer, so far its the cheapest one that works, if you ever get your hands one some, Megs d151 PRC, Optimum Poli-seal, KAIO, and p21s paint cleansing lotion then they are a lot better in degrimming without swirling and scratching only thing is they're expensive hehe.

[Starex_Gold]

bagong patatahimikin bro! :cheer:

bakit? may bagong kotse ka na naman? :clap:hahaha

Ah. Hindi memberr dito sa tsikot yung kina-iinisan ni chikselog e. Pero pwede naman siguro sya i-invite dito tapos tsaka.... :evil: whahaha!

Bagong kotse? Wala. Wala pera. Nyahahah..

Try ko nga may DIY (Destroy It your self) hehehe . Kahit anong brand ng sand paper? Try ko muna sa mga curb scratch ng mags.

[Chikselog]

*All
Hehe it's no big deal. Basta tayo tuloy lang sa pag-alaga. Nanay ko na mismo nagsabi na inggitero lang yun :bwahaha:. Kapag nagdala na ng oto sa school balitaan ko kayo kung palaging maputik . Lalo na yung Explorer kung mailabas nya sa parking bwahahaha.

BTT:
*madkatz
Hopefully it doesn't rain also ngayong araw hehe, para mapatungan ko bukas ng 2nd coat ng 476.

Oww. Under warranty po ba? Kulitin nyo na lang Toyota hehe. Dapat ayusin nila yon . Or better yet dun nyo po ipa-ayos sa may mga good feedbacks na Toyota casa

*doc
Hahaha. Hihiram ako DC kay sir Ed tapos kakamayin ko nalang! Ubos pintura nun

Ako gusto kong hugasan yung EK namin ngayon, kaso, Cleaning QD na lang! :hysterical:
