Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[MXFX]

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.

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...

TIA

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.
