Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[bombitmd]

Procedure is always clay first before applying pre-wax cleaner, there are a lot of pre-wax cleaners out there and most have different levels of cut and functions and effects, there are some just remove old layers of wax and sealants, some are a little more aggressive in the sense that some can remove ultra fine swirls and scratches, after using the pre-wax cleaner you apply a glaze, the moms step 2 glaze has very very mild polishes that just helps improve the gloss nothing more, it can't really do any proper correction on the paint its just for gloss and it contains fillers that can hide swirls temporarily, if you want to remove the scratches and swirls permanently then you should really use a polish, and yes Step 2 is a wipe on wipe off product, but with some people they get better results when the work the product a little bit by going over it for a few more passes. Synwax is also good in terms that for me it provides better protection and the shine lasts longer, synwax has a more reflective and mirror shine as compared to carnauba's but you could always slap on a layer of carnauba on top of synwax, for this you might want to try and cure it for 8 hours, synwax for me is a little different since for me its really not a pure sealant as compared to carlack and other acrylic sealants. if you really want the scratches to go away, you might have to buy 2 products, one is swirlX and one is scratchX, you use swirlx for light swirls and scratches, and scratchx for the deeper ones.

So those Step 1, 2, 3 products, regardless of brand, are mostly for cars that, more or less, are in really tip top shape? Those that need only very minor corrections? Bigla ako nanghinayan sa mga binili ko... huhuhu But then, once ma restore ko yung exterior, ito na puwede ko gamitin

Which means, kailangan ko ng polish! Aside from SwirlX and ScratchX, any other suggestions?

Sa wax naman, kailangan ko talaga mag hanap ng carnauba...

I think before I buy anything again, pa diagnose ko muna sa inyo nila Sir Ed sa Sunday, and the other gurus who might be there

On a different note, ako lang ba o minsan ang hirap mag post dito sa forum? Ang dalas ng Page Cannot Be Displayed. Kainis, grrr. 20 mintues na, ayaw pa rin mag post... sa wakas!
