For me aksaya lang talaga ang jelly blade. Panget na pag konti nalang ang tubig. Parang arte nalang. Learn how to do water sheeting guys! After nyo gawin yun almost tuyo na yung car konti nalang ang tubig. Spot drying naman using your drying towel sa mga natira and curves then tapos na.

Be practical guys hindi dahil mahal eh effective na. There are other ways to do it and not always "by the book" style.

sir.. nung nagpunta ako sa Autobisyo.. may nakita akong grit guard na kulay red. you may want to inquire kay Jerome.

So far wala pa nga ko nakikita seller gusto ko din bumili. Pwede ata siya sa mga 5 gallon buckets yung ginagamit na lalagyan ng paints. Yung mga bucket na normal parang hindi kakasya eh.

so ok lang pala mag pa machine wax every month...akala ko po parang mga 4 months bago ako pwede mag pa buff..may nagsabi kasi sa akin na pag lagi daw ginagawa yun parang mawawala daw yung top coat.kasi hindi po ba after mag buff mainit init pa po yung paint..kaya ganon po pagkakainitindi ko regarding sa pag buff..thanks po.

if it is always buffed to the point where it generates too much heat its already painful to touch then thats really bad for the paint and you shouldn't even do it at all, for the really skilled detailers they don't really get the paint hot, just a little warm and this is talking about compounding and polishing, if the place you're going to makes the paint really how when its just a machine wax procedure then there's something wrong with what they're doing if its a little warm then its ok. Machine wax doesn't really contain any abrasive particles so once its used properly it should not be able to reduce any significant level of clearcoat but if it gets too hot then again there's something wrong there.

So what can I at least do every month to remove some swirls? My new monty is already getting some.

Hehehe well if you're planning on removing them then you'll need a polish for that, and that means reducing clear coat, so why not just fill them? there's Microtex Nano Glos, NXT, and step 2 for that

Well that's what I'm doing right now, spot step 2. Ganun na nga lang siguro. Btw, thanks for your advice, will opt instead for Microtex elite. Kay Edwin ko na rin kukunin.

Got it for 1.3k if I remember it correctly.


Yes sir plush lang with aid of my blower. Will buy a jelly blade soon para mas madali.

San nyo nabili sir mura na yan sa 1.3k sakin JCk din 1.5k bili ko. Meron siyang parang bag na itim na attatchment para saan kaya yun?

nag inquire ako 850 each...

Hi all,

Will Klasse AIO be able to replace a true polisher for nothing more than the most light swirl marks/bird dropping etches and water marks?

I'm seriously considering using a polish to remove light scratches, but apprehensive about the results since I don't have access to a RO machine polisher and intend to just use hand polishing.

TIA

if they're really really light then yes it can help in removing some stains and visually eliminating scratches

sige try ko sila tawagan tomorrow kung nagbenta sila. kakatamad kasi to my transformer pa..ehe


*madkatz.

meaning yung AG SRP sealant na din yun? hindi ko na pwede lagyan M21 pag nag lagay ako ng AG SRP... balak ko kasi pag ka polish ko ng AG SRP , lagyan ko ng M21 tapos yung nxt gen tech wax 2.0 na paste. pero sympre caly muna..


cge yung bosch na lang muna bibilhin ko pang wax at pang polish ko yun...

eto ba ung sinasabi mong WP1300
http://www.blackanddecker.com/produc...view=4#details

ibang model n yan 11amps parang malakas na talaga yan...hehe
pag nagamit naman ng rotary diba dapat light pressure tapos wag papatagalin sa isang place. yun rpm lang hindi ko alam kung gaano kabilis

It sort of functions as a cleaner sealant pretty much like klasse AIO but of course AG SRP finishes a lot better, and yes you can apply M21 after, the name of AG SRP is very confusing in the sense that its not really a polish

Ahh see theres an air intake hole and theres an air output hole in the blower, if you use it as a blower you put the pointed rubber nose on the output, you can also replace the rubber nose with the black bag in the air output hole and then put the rubber nose in the air intake hole to turn it into a spot vacuum cleaner hehe

Jmpet626,

May mabibilihan ba ng grit guard dito sa Manila? Dati kasi i'm planning to buy from states kaso lang i'm not sure naman kung it will fit my bucket.

Actually we used to sell Grit guards at 750 pesos but we didn't get any demands so we stopped shipping them i don't know if we still have some, and we also find it too expensive to ship because of their size, shipping 4 grit guards is like shipping 2 gallons of polish already so the cost is really higher when it comes to grit guards so we just opted to ship fast moving items

How about meguiars D151 Paint Reconditionong Creme? Same din ba sila ng AG SRP? Read somewhere na almost same agressiveness ng swirl X and also protection ng NXT wax..

Ahh D151 is a lot like Megs 66, for me the difference lies only with the abrasives used, 66 uses diminishing and d151 uses SMAT, its not the same as AG SRP the closest i can compared to AG SRP is Klasse AIO its pretty much like a sealant with milder than KAIO cleaning abilities although it uses mechanical abrasives as its cleaners so yes it can smooth out some swirls but not on the same level of correction as 66 and d151, AG SRP is actually considered by most as a sealant already but in the truest sense its a cleaner sealant like KAIO, FK Ultra Wipe, OPT Poli-seal and werkstat prime

Mas aggressive pa pala ang d151 kesa swirl X

Super Micro Abrasive Technology = SMAT

I need help. I usually place these non-slip mats on our cars. Unfortunately for my Montero, maybe due to the heat on that day, the mat sticked on the dash and left some marks. I brushed it with 10:1 APC and it removed some marks but not all.

Nice, very helpful visual aid.
Whew kakatakot din gumamit ng masyadong aggressive, unless kailangan talaga. Kaya oks na siguro ang swirlX kung pantanggal lang ng light scratches and watermarks

oo nga confusinfg yung name nya super resin polish... hmmmm

halos wala pa ako sa kalahati na ng buong thread na to.. hirap tapusin hindi ko matapos pero tatapusin ko to....=)

matesting nga yung Deep crystal paint cleaner ng megs bago ako mag polish. 369 lang dito eh.

*madkatz

meaning yung Nxt gen tech wax 2.0 nakakatanggal ng swirl? meaning nafifill nya ung mga swirl? tapos after several car wash lalabas ulit sya?

per advantage nito hindi ka nag sacrifice ng clear mo? tama ba ako? hmmmm

dami kasing swirl ng sa akin nung pumwesto ako dati sa lamp post ng meralco.. kitang kita parang pwede ng lumambitin si spider man...hehe
