Sa mga mahilig mag detail... dito tayo. OT na tayo sa "Big Berts Promo" Thread

hehe ive been researching abt detailing for the past few months now and i still feel i have a lot to learn from the detailing Gods here. i haven't even tried using an RO yet. but hopefully, i will learn more.

[ILuvDetailing]

we all still have a lot to learn, lets exchange ideas here.

morrissey: Bumili ka na ng Rotary? medyo mahal and risky kaya di muna ako bumili.

[morrissey_05]

ILD,

di pa eh. somehow i like application by hand. workout pa. pero if ever baka BnD. lets see kung may budget pa. whats your detailing combo btw?

[ILuvDetailing]

I have the BnD KP600. Before I do a 3-step - Clay, Megs Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner/Mothers Step 1/Bigberts Liquid Shine, Mothers S & G, Mothers Carnuba. Took me the whole day, nakakapagod. Now I just 2-step pag may time, Mothers Cleaner Wax, 3M Perfect-It Show Car Wax. For maintenance I wax around twice a month.

[chain]

if ever, I try to avoid using the BnD. simply put, hindi kasi variable speed. I only use the rotary when it comes to surface corrections. masyadong matagal sa ROP. however, final finish ko palagi gamit ko ROP..

Honestly, when it comes to applying stuff, I prefer using a machine. 5-10 minutes lang. so definitely, more curing time, more time to apply layers.

so for the detailers out there, mention naman your combos and products. fave ko ngayon ang soft99 together with klasse. in between, i'm trying out megs speed detailer QD. a bit thick as compared to megs #34 (FI) but it gets the job done.

oh, before I forget to mention... maganda nga pala yung Microtex MF... sarap gamitin for drying.

nga pala, maganda ang Rotary. medyo steep ang learning curve but it's worth it. saves you time and results are exemplary.

dehadista: Ano gamit mong Rotary? Makita ba? 9K+ kasi medyo mabigat sa bulsa, sama mo pa yung Megs Pads. Ano pala gamit mong pads sa Rotary?

oh, before I forget to mention... maganda nga pala yung Microtex MF... sarap gamitin for drying.

Bumili ka rin pala, yellow kinuha ko, medyo takot pa ako gamitin sa hood baka biglang mag swirl. Ayun ginamit ko sa fenders, side mirrors, at salamin, medyo di ok para sa salamin, pero ok sa body.

[morrissey_05]

yung microtex san nabibili?

simple combo lang ako. zymol cleaner wax, yung nakasale ngaun. FR minsan. sometimes 3M HG din. wax ko ngaun soft99 and 3M show car liquid (subok lang). plan to try Bigberts LS as soon as maubos yung zymol. nung bibili sana ako ala daw stock e. sayang.

care to refresh my memory? which machines are variable?

The Rotary.

yung microtex san nabibili?

Bumili ako sa Trans Show sa Megamall, available ata kay Bigberts. PM mo na lang si BlackMagic.

ILD: Makita Rotary 9227c together with Megs Pads (cutting, polishing and finishing). Medyo may kamahalan nga lang talaga yung foam pads if you get them here sa Pinas. I'd rather use the big pads instead of them small ones..

LC oks din.

ganda talaga ng Microtex MF! talo yung Euro-Reilly hehehe

[QUOTE=ILuvDetailing]The Rotary.


oopps sorry sir. what i meant was, which brands of polishers have variable rotaries. thanks

[CLAVEL3699]

BnD... i have it pero gusto ko sana magamit sya nang matagl tagal sayang din kasi pagkakabili ko.

Ano kaya maganda to make it worth.. please advise naman.

Thanks.

[ILuvDetailing]

Clavel: Bili ka ng 3M foam pads, kabitan mo ng Velcro backing tape oks na yan. Pwede mo gamitin pang apply ng wax, or a cleaner wax.

[ILuvDetailing]

Fellow detailers, do you buy your QDs by the gallon? Saw the Megs QD... its costs around P2400/gallon , ang mahal pala. I wonder if BlackMagic still has an Eagle One QD.

[chain]

P1,600 lang #34 Final Inspection ng Megs. Lasts me for 2 two months+ at home..

I dilute it with water minsan for other uses sa shop...

[ninja_cool]

Sirs, tanong ko lang saan maganda magpa detailing? at pag sinabi bang detailing exterior and interior ang aayusin nila? at ano po ba ang gagawin nila sa interior di ko pa kasi nagagawa ito at parang gusto kong ipa detailing yung CRV namin di pa naman masyadong madumi pero mas ok kung marerestore ulit sa pagkabago. gusto ko kasi luminis yung C-ling medyo my mantsa na kasi. at sir mga magkano kya ang aabutin ko? sana din yung recomend ninyo parteng Makati, Pasig, and QC lang salamat po mga sir.
