dehadista: Yup hehehe. :D

how do i remove yung collected scum sa mga singit-signit... like around the door handles. hindi siya matanggal ng just washing eh. eto na ba yung gagamitan ng clay bar?

yep.

minsan pag may time ako, I use a dull barbecue stick wrapped with MF to get those areas with wax.. or yung trim na may wax. bad trip din yun.

some questions po:

- where to buy cali car duster and how much po? is there a fake and orig ones? if so how to recognize the orig?
- ano po ba ang use ng acrylic seal sa black cars? i heard of klasse all in one, tama ba? saan po ba meron nito?
- and also meguiars product po. san may available.
- and when/where will be the next deatiling thread EB?

TIA

where to buy cali car duster and how much po? is there a fake and orig ones? if so how to recognize the orig?

cali dusters can be bought sa US, try to pm vice baka meron pa siya, around 1+ range..

ano po ba ang use ng acrylic seal sa black cars? i heard of klasse all in one, tama ba? saan po ba meron nito?

it's not for black cars lang naman sealants protect your paint from degradation.. adds to the aesthetics as well. sa big bert's available ang klasse, meron din group buy si theveed right now..

and also meguiars product po. san may available

true value, han's tools, simex kamias has meguiar's

Just picked up the Klasse Twins from Vince. BTW can I use the Violet/purple Microtex towel in applying the sealant?

[theveed]

ILD padalan ko kayo email.

Technically yes, but I don't recommend it sa SG, sisipsipin nya sobra. Just wrap a thin MF (JML ok lang) or a terry then spritz it with A LITTLE QD and go...

I suggest you go buy yourself a small atomizer spray bottle (dami sa mga make-up section ng supermarket) then spray mo yung SG sa applicator

[chain]

ILD: sinubukan ko i-spray yung AIO before.. hindi pala pwede hehehe.

by the way, dahan-dahan lang sa SG. go thin as in THIN. mahirap matanggal if applied too thick.

thanks for the tips :D

sir theveed:

vincent of bigberts told me the detailing reqt of a new black car. The thing is, I can only go to manila this weekend and the car is getting dirty bigtime. How do I clean daily unitil I could bring it to the shop? All I have is the MF from pricesmart and free flowing water. i havent personally cleaned a car for 5 years. baka masira ko paint job on the first wk!

Thanks.

invest in a washmitt, a decent car shampoo and browse through the threads here. medyo extensive na ang discussion nyan.

I myself have a black car. medyo mahirap alagaan yan.

ild: i agree on using an applicator for klasse. sayang kung maabsorb lang lagi.

i use a mf wrapped rectangular applicator for my aio and sg. if it helps, here's how i end up using little each time:

i make the applicator damp with water and/or a spray of qd (i used to use megs for years. i tried mothers california gold qd and it is slicker and works much better).

i squeeze some aio diagonally on the applicator creating a "toothpick" thin diagonal line.

then i fold the applicator in half, squeezing lightly towards each half and sideways to spread the aio evenly.

the rest follows...

i do the same for the sg about a little more than half of the diagonal line. the sg is a pain to remove esp if you dont wait long enough.

i hope this is clear. i might take some pics. i am working on the other half of my car this week.

p.s. i was able to make a qd spray with bottled water, aio, and an empty body spray bottle.

pilgrim: i felt the same way when i bought my first new and black vehicle. just browse through the threads esp the "detailing a black car" one for info. that should help you get started.

[theveed]

email sent to the K twin buyers....

pilgrim: basically just wash it carefully... Check out the first few pages of this thread and search for the "maintaining black colored car" thread.

San ba makakabili ng AIO sa US? What shops carry them? Meron ba sa mga walmart yan?

Sayang, di ako umabot sa shipment ni dave

Anyhows... checkout what I had to deal with. Such dirt and grime accumulated at the back of the rear tire. Several(hundred ) applications of scratchx, with final touches of #7 and NXT...

Before:

Before: 2nd pic


After. Too tired to reach onto those little cracks - may mga mantsa pa

[theveed]

Oh yes, lahat ng mga may rear tire mounting ganyan sakit hehe.

[zechs]

mga sir help naman. kasi kanina nag apply ako ng 3M scratch remover actually it was my second time to apply the 3M scratch remover. kaso this time medyo wierd kasi nag stain sya. at hindi matanggal yung stain. sa hood pa naman ako nag apply kasi kala ko kakayanin ng 3M yung scratch.. medyo nag light naman yung scratch kaso ang problem yung stain na naiwan ng 3M hindi ko matanggal pano po ba tanggalin yun? TIA

[ILuvDetailing]

try spraying it with a Quick Detailer then wipe with a MF... kung ayaw try using a polish/paint cleaner rub a little, not so hard ok, then wipe off with MF. That should do the trick.

once again, nice before and after shots!

cards: online ko lang nabili klasse ko. try mo froogle. mas mura kung package deal.

tapos ko na aio, sana wag umulan.
