Hey folks! Been following this thread for some time now, although hindi ko pa rin nababasa lahat (May naka basa na ba ng LAHAT ng post dito sa thread? Bilib ako kung meron! ) I missed the first seminar, I won't miss this one May puwede mag bigay ng directions? Dalhin ko Black Vios ko, kung gusto niyo din gawin guinea pig, ayos lang.

Since I'm here na rin, may question na rin ako. I actually made my first attempt at detailing yesterday! Unfortunately, biglang umulan right after I washed the car! Pag minalas ka nga naman...

Anyway, nung humupa na ulan (covered naman garage, pero open sides) I did a quick clean, then I clayed the entire car. Galing! Talagang nagiging smooth after running the clay over several times. Pero may ibang ayaw talaga matanggal First question - any way to remove those really stubborn stuff? Not sure what they are, eh. Will check it later.

Since feeling ko malapit na umulan uli, I decided to just do the trunk. (Please correct me if may ginawa ako mali or if you have suggestions.) I started with Mother's pre-cleaner wax. This confused me because I know dapat polish pero sa dami ng binasa ko, hindi ko na alam kung ano ang example ng mga polishes. So I thought, Step 1, I guess it's safe to use this. I expected to have some swirls and scratches removed, pero very, very light scratches lang nawala. Wipe on wipe off din ito? Necessary ba ang pre-cleaner or dapat polish na? What are some of the recommended polishes?

This brings me to my next step, I used Mother's Step 2 Sealant and Glaze. Noticeable yung linis, pero I was expecting na mawawala na yung mga scratches. (Yung scratches na brought about by wiping your car with lumang t-shirt na may halong polyster, hehe. Pero not me! Former owner! ) Is this supposed to be able to remove the light scratches and swirls? Should I have rubbed the compound in harder? Wipe on wipe off din ito, right?

Finally, nag hanap ako ng wax. I was looking for Mother's Step 3, pero they only had Synwax. Late ko na lang na basa na mas maganda talaga carnauba for black to give it depth, tama ba? Oh well...

I understand that for pure sealants like Synwax, dapat may 12-24 hour curing time? Well, since I was just trying it out, nag apply na din ako after step 2 (trunk lang naman). The results? Pretty nice shine, although I was hoping parang more depth. Feeling ko could be shinier if walang mga scratch marks. Also, was not sure kung WOWO din ito; kailangan ba ipa-dry muna?

Anyway, so much for my first attempt. Kinda disappointed; feeling ko baka mali mga gamit ko and baka mali pag gawa ko. That's why I need to attend sa Sunday!!! Gusto ko talaga mawala yung mga scratches...

Haaayyyy... inputs? BTW, ang main concern ko is protection; pero siyempre kung puwedeng pagandahin, bakit hindi, di ba?

Salamat in advance, and pasensya na kung mahaba post ko
