Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

i love the beading and protection rainhop gives so i still intend to use this wax habang tag-ulan....but i hate the libag it attracts sa puting kotse ko! is there a way i can remedy this "libag attraction?"

You can try using a Sealant.

Mga parekoys, saan ba yung megs and/or simex?

[stubby]

kimpoy, i dont remember posting re finding an suv....pero i was considering the fortuner gas before, but chose the mz3 2.0 instead! i know, the apples and oranges comparison..... hehe

ILD, i have synwax. di kaya maapektuhan beading and protection that rainhop offers?

[ILuvDetailing]

I think synwax should go in first before rainhop for the best protection possible

[stubby]

with your suggestion, the purpose of synwax beneath rainhop would not only produce a better shine and increased protection but also add slickness, therefore reducing libag attraction and allowing potential libag to just slide away. am i correct in saying this?

[chain]

one problem with rainhop is that dirt sticks to unbuffed areas. kaya make sure to buff and remove excess product throughly. kungdi, kakapitan talaga yan.

teka, since white auto mo, why not go for a sealant? maganda bigyan ng shine yan. palagyan mo na ng Klasse tapos afterwards, lagyan mo ng carnauba naman.

BTW, was able to resupply my Megs #16 courtesy of milky.. woohoo!

[chain]

ILD: once the rains settle down a bit, set tayo ng Detailer's EB para mabigay ko na sayo yung Klasse.. hehehe

Simex is along Kamias Rd. coming from Edsa, go straight, tatawid ka ng stoplight na may Mcdo and Jollibee sa intersection. (Anonas-Kamias Intersection 'to)

it's to your right. you won't miss it. Mcdo on your left tapos a few meters is Simex on your right. they have a Meguiar's logo, naturally.

Dehadista: Thanks.

Nagbebenta kaya si Milky ng Megs #66?

Its been raining for the last 4 days, puro WAUD lang ako

Stubby: Ano pala color ng ride mo?

[Boy Torotot]

boy torotot, maganda yung arnolds sheepskin wash mitt sa concorde. meron don malaking size of i believe 10inx10in...bagay sa laki ng suv mo sir.

thanks sir. try ko bumili mamaya, since di ko pa alam kelan ako magagawi ng QC to buy megs washmitt.

[stubby]

dehadista, i did notice some dark libag spots which i presume were indeed unbuffed spots. but the libag i was referring to are the light ones which are spread out, more particularly sa hood. oh well, i plan to do this, tapos observe na lang ulit - moms step 1, synwax, rainhop. pag makapit pa rin sa libag.......ziebart diamond gloss na lang....hehehe

ILD, i plan get megs 66 sa simex this weekend. i can get some for you. btw, palladium white mz3 yung color

[ILuvDetailing]

stubby: thanks. Yung sa refill bottles lang. Kunin ko na lang sa Detailers EB, sama kayo.

White pala, then a cleaner wax and sealant should be in your routine -> More shine than dept.

[stubby]

no prob sir. kelan kaya eb?

also, would like to know if ok bumili ng porter cable 7424. punta kasi sis ko sa states. $120.99 lang sa amazon, free shipping pa. halos pareho na sa presyo nung bosch GEX150AC as per irmscher sa PAD review nya. my concerns on this tool are: 1. AFAIK, walang service center dito sa pinas, so pano kung masira.....o baka naman it should not worry me kasi matibay naman; 2. big help ba talaga to buy the yellow backing plate? really would appreciate your inputs TIA!

stubby: maganda yung PC pero yun nga lang, tama observation mo. I'm not sure pero I think mas malakas yung motor ng Bosch and DeWalt kaysa sa PC..

pakintabin mo na lang yan. polish, AIO tapos SGx2.. anganda nyan afterwards.. parang binalutan ng plastic.

kung magpapabili ka, pakuha ka na din ng Klasse Twins and other paraphernalia from Megs like their brushes.. and some MF as well (PakShak!)

ILD: I think Milky still has some exp.. as for #66, andaming repackaged bottles sa Simex. pakuha ka kay stubby hehehe para sa EB..

[ILuvDetailing]

stubby: October (tentative, also depends on the availability of our fellow detailers).

Free shipping papuntang Pinas? I doubt it. Anyway here's another problem of the Porter Cable - its 110v. Mas ok sana kung dito ka na lang bumili.

[theveed]

stubby: dont bother walang 220v nyan, nagtanong na ako a few years back sa PC distributor. In addition, it's just another RO, mas ok pa maginvest ka sa Makita 6040 (mas mahal nga lang)

[chain]

yan yung maganda.. yung hybrid ng Makita. hehehe

[stubby]

sa amazon, free shipping sa continental usa, hindi sa pinas, kung $25 or higher ang order. punta kasi sis ko don.

e kung i-transformer ko fr 110v to 220v? ill check out that makita 6040. pero papabili talaga ako ng klasse twins!

appreciate your inputs mga gurus! thanks

re megs 66 bottles fr simex, sabihin niyo lang! plus 10% shipping & handling...hehehe...joke

[stubby]

Diyos ko po....eh 299.95 dolyares yung makita 6040 sa autogeek!! di po kaya ng aking maliit na bulsa

[ILuvDetailing]

stubby: hintayin mo nalang magkaroon niyan dito. Konting tiis lang :D

[milky]

dehadista: sorry ulit kanina..baha eh hehe
ild: i don't sell #66.. i was just actually selling stuff that i overstocked
