hmmm.. pwede yan. Ginagawa ko Step 2 + 915..

Siguro mga after 3 hours tsaka ka mag coat ng Sapphire

Hmm i would recommend you use Step 2 and then Sapphire wax and then Step 3, the sapphire's cleaning abilities might actually remove the step 3 if it comes first.

*ma'am madkatz: 5 hours?! and I thought we had rotten luck.

*Chikselog: tama si sir renzo, mas makintab na ata yan sa totoong salamin e.

nagwash rin ako 2 days in a row... kagabi tapos ngayong gabi. haha. Kelangan ko na ng ultra plush, pang buff ng mga QD.

just a question... redundant ba kung maglagay ako ng nanosliq over a spraywax? Natuluan ako ng sliq kanina, and parang parehas yung consistency nila

parang sa conditions natin lately, mga 2-3 weeks lang tumatagal yung 476...

Actually Nano Sliq is a lot much more like a spray wax than a QD, and yes the weather lately is really harsh

Nabasa ko sa mga forum na may cutting compounds daw ang Sapphire, for initial use ok siguro sya for corrective purpose na din, pero hindi yata sya magandang gamitin palagi dahil ninipis ang clear coat? Kaya recommended is either 845 (insulator), 476s, 915 of yung Fleetwax (speaking of Collinite ha) dahil walang abrasives..tama ba?

Hi, i just want to clarify something, Yes there are 3 types of Sapphire waxes that collinite makes, they are the Sapphire pre-wax cleaner, Liquid Sapphire and Sapphire paste, the main difference with the liquid and the paste sapphire is just the consistency, of course the paste has more carnauba in it and lasts longer, and all 3 does not contain any abrasives, the difference between liquid saphhire and paste sapphire to sapphire pre-wax cleaner is that both liquid and paste contain waxes, while the sapphire pre-wax cleaner doesn't offer any protection but it offers a better cleaning ability, these 3 doesn't contain any abrasives and the cleaners they contain are non mechanical/abrasive based, its chemical based, its like a facial, there's the chemical peel and the diamond peel, the sapphire waxes use chemical cleaners to remove stains and contaminants from the paint and it at some level can reduce clear coat but much much far less than mechanical cleaners and they are more even and leveled when finished. i hope this clears out some things.

I'm sure maganda yang car mo. Hehehe. leather seats kasi

Using applicator pad in applying Mothers Protectant. Hmmm ok lang I guess.

Sa leather seats naman, meron Mothers Leather Conditioner



bro orange: Whole body pic naman dyan

Great suggestion and well worth every penny, better than some of the Megs products

Parang gusto ko nung Megs #82 ah. Sir jm magkano yun sa peso? Gusto ko na magkaron ng polish eh. Tama lang siguro yung Megs #82 di masyado matapang. Hehe. Pwede ba by hand lang yun? O kaya pang spot polishing lang using daliri, gaya nung ginawa ni sir Ed sa gasgas ko.

Sana meron din si sir Ed nito. Baka bumili ako.

The 82 is actually good for both machine and hand application, if you use machine application it would produce a deep wet look like 205 and it dries up really fast and is a big hard to remove, when used by hand i can only remove those really really minor swirls on the paint, IMO this is a good finishing product to follow up with 83 when you want that added depth.

[madkatz]

Will probably use the Collinite kapag ubos na wax ko. BTW, can I use an ordinary drill as buffer for my car? Dual speed naman sya. Or dapat talaga rotary buffer?

You could use Mothers Powerball 4 paint if its for waxing and for minor polishing, better get the Powerball (the red one ) if you intend to go more correction, but i would still recommend you use the rotary.

Nice Ride!

I'm currently using Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss Platinum and Mother's FX Synwax...just need advice on the sequence.

What I'm doing right now is...to first use Mother's FX Synwax then top it off with Ultra Gloss, or should it be the other way around.

I use the Synwax at least 1-1/2 month...the Turtle wax is something that I use every 2-3 weeks.

My ride doesn't have a covered parking so its open to the elements.

You should put on the FX Synwax first and wait for about 4 hours to put on the TW PUG, the synwax is considered as a sealant but it flashes like a wax so 4 hours is already enough, what you are doing is correct and the usage is also correct.
