already got the answer for my 1st question. 3m IHG is a cleaner Wax with "light" polish. sabi dun sa review na nabasa ko sa eopnions. please CORRECT ME if i'm wrong.. may nabasa din kasi ako Filler wax naman daw si 3mIHG. ano ba talaga sya..

its not a wax, hahaha that was funny, a glaze is a glaze and a wax is a wax, its not a cleaner wax or a wax, its a glaze and glazes are oily solutions and fillers that fill minor scratches on the paint to make swirls and light scratches visually disappear and the oils also help make the paint look wetter but it does not offer any protection think of it as a make up before you wax your car.

[madkatz]

yun din na isip ko kasi monthly naman ang wax so setaside na durability.. mas wetlook nga si 915 dami ko din nabasa.. more carnauba more oil more oil means less durability yan nabasa ko haha..

up ko lang yung question.. 3mIHG cleaner ba sya or filler? may nabasa kasi ako cleaner daw sya..pero meron madami daw filler na cinocontain ito.. so cleaner ba o filler?

how much yung 915 kung may nagbebenta ho sa inyo

thats another thing thats not always true, more oils doesn't mean less durability more oils only mean its easier to spread and its less layerable, more carnauba means more durability and more carnauba also means more oil to make it easier to spread, take note carnauba is hard as brick in its solid form so its normal to see waxes have higher oil levels as carnauba levels also increase

its a glaze, its something you use between step 2 and step 3, as for beading their beading abilities are also pretty much the same except that 476 lasts a little longer

aalisin ko na ba yung NXT 2.0 kapalit ng 3m IHG??

must have products.
-----: clay kit
step1: megs deep crystal paint cleaner
step2: megs rubbing compound or deep crystal system polish ????
-----: 3m IHG
step3: NXT2.0 and 915 (or aalisin ko na NXT2.0??)

mam madkatz Approval mo po please hehehe tama po ba procedure ko?

[madkatz]

san ko po pwede isingit yung pag lagay ng isopropyl alcohol diluted with water? after mag AG SRP or before?

After using UC, swirlx and scratchx or other polishes that may leave oils, you use the 50/50 IPA wipe down before you apply AG SRP

mas ok po ba ang IPA kaysa kerosene sa pag clean?

you mean 50/50? IPA and water? wipe down lang po ng cloth?

I just cleaned the lower part of the car dahil maputik siya by using ONR cleaning QD solution after hosing the car down. This is what I did.

While the lower part of the car is still wet, inispray-an ko ng ONR na parang nagperform na rin ako ng waterless wash (maraming sprays), yun nga lang mas mataas na concentration na ONR ang gamit ko. I sprayed on the left doors, and then on the right.

Tapos pinunasan ko na using my cheap but clean MF towel starting from the left doors, I was surprised because di ko inasahan na hindi ganoon ka-dumi yung MF, I mean yes marumi siya pero di ko ineexpect na "ganun kadumi lang". Hehe.

And it's as clean as a newly washed car hehe.

Grabe pala ang Collinite 476S, ngayon ko lang mas lalong naaappreciate beading nya haha. Iba talaga kapag bagong apply, takot na takot ang tubig sa paint.

BTW ma'am madkatz, pansin ko po mabilis maubos 476S ko, in 1 week, the beading is not that good as new na so I wax every week. Is this normal? Mahinhin na rin ako magpunas hehe.

And before I go home from school, I always dust the car off. Kapag umulan, I wipe the hood, roof and trunk dry (not totally dry). Palagi akong napapansin ng mga blockmates ko hehe.

kerosene is used for removing asphalt and 50/50 is used for removing polish oil residues and yes you spray a little and wipe off with cloth

Hehe actually lahat naman tayo dito sir OC (AKA "Tamang alaga" hahaha). Yes sir because as early as 6am puno na ang parking spaces sa tapat ng building namin. Around 6:30 siguro puno na lahat ng slots around UST so no choice but to park in the GOLDEN PRICED CARPARK.

Hmmm well like i said try to avoid using ONR for now lets see if ONR can really be the culprit regarding 476 losing its beading abilities, although in the US ONR is actually used most of the time to preserve wax but lets just do a real test, try to stay away from ONR for now and use some other QD, except for nanosliq as well ok since it has beading properties

[madkatz]

mag stick nalang nga ako sa forums na to nalilito ako sa iba eh ahaha salamat po

hahaha no worries it just made me laugh at who ever categorized it, he/she obviously doesn't know much about cars and detailing products

[madkatz]

sa step 2 ano po mas ok? gagamitin ko lang si step 2 pag madami na swirl.. rubbing or system polish?

weekly pwede si step1 and make up and step3?

it depends Megs step 2 can give a clearer and slightly better finish but Moms Step 2 can fill swirls and scratches which Megs Step 2 doesn't have

what do you mean rubbing or system polish? you mean rubbing compound Vs Step 1? if you have a lot of swirls already, step 1 can't really remove those swirls only make them slightly less visible and step 1 can only remove those ultra fine swirls nothing more, for light to moderate and heavier swirls its definitely rubbing compound

no step 1 for me is to be used about only 2 to 4 times a year, step 2 can be used monthly or every other week but regular usage for step 1 is usually twice a year, step 2 quarterly, glaze is monthly and wax is also monthly but in our case i guess every 2 weeks is a good practice, doing step 1 to 3 every week is over kill and in most ways a waste of time
