1) what kind of car seats do you have? ano make nya?
2) pwedeng i-DIY yan.. as mentioned underneath ILD's avatar..

dehadista: fabric po ung seats. i'll try ILD's advise (baking soda method), pag ayaw talaga, i'll let the Pros handle it. thanks!

whew read through the 77 pages here

too much info may info overload naku haha

just found out what i did wrong kaya naiwan yung water stains after i clayed

dapat pala per panel para di nagdry agad ayun waterspots galore nga

am looking for a qd to remove waterspots any recommendations? based from what i read EO is good value for money but is it as good as megs or mothers?

try ku rin vinegar siguro pag ayaw qd

im using fx spraywax right now but parang hirap iapply kasi cant see if i applied it in an area na kasi white car ku, any tips? do i spray it on the panels or spray first on the applicator?

mothers synwax is pure wax right? no cleaners? so its safe to top for the PPP?

tia guys!

EO is good enough, and for me has good value for money. Megs is overpriced IMO.

Pag ayaw matanggal sa QD, you'd have to use a Cleaner Wax or Polish, try the least abrasive then a more abrasive polish kung ayaw matanggal then so on.

You can spray it on the panel, but not too much, sayang lang.

[miLes]

ok thanks ILD but the problem is i got the PPP from bigberts so using cleaners will remove the sealant, hopefully the waterspots will be removed by either qd or vinegar keeping my fingers crossed

just to confirm - mothers synwax is pure wax right? so its safe to layer the PPP with it?
then apply mothers fx sprayway or redundant na after the synwax?

AFAIK, yup may cleaners ang SynWax... pero light lang. been using this sa white and silver cars for a while and ganda ng results. yung Spray Wax acts as a Booster.

pero personally, Klasse pa din ako when it comes to these colors. hehehe

anyway, bad trip kanina! medyo dusty kasi auto ko kanina sa parking so some kid wrote on the surface. ayun.. puro scratches tuloy. aargh!!

miLes: I applaud you for taking the time to read through the thread... hahaha

share ko lang itong bagong article....

"Nissan Motor Co., Ltd, has developed the world’s first clear paint that repairs scratches on painted car surfaces, including scratches from car-washing machines, off-road driving and fingernails.

“Scratch Guard Coat” contains a newly developed, highly elastic resin that helps prevent scratches from affecting the inner layers of a car’s painted surface. With “Scratch Guard Coat” a car’s scratched surface will return to its original state anywhere from one day to a week, depending on temperature and the depth of the scratch.

The water-repellent paint also has a higher resistance to scratches compared with conventional clear paints. A vehicle painted with “Scratch Guard Coat” will have only one-fifth the abrasions caused by a car-washing machine compared with a car covered with conventional clear paint. Scratches from car-washing machines account for the majority of scratches to painted car surfaces.

“Scratch Guard Coat” is effective for about three years.

“Scratch Guard Coat” will be applied for the first time on an SUV model that is scheduled for a partial makeover in the near future. The paint will be applied to the car’s chassis, bumpers and door mirrors, among other parts. "

Gimick lang kaya?

[miLes]

*dehadista - buti nga i read through them eh some of my questions were already answered na pala haha, found out about how to clay without the waterspots galore but too late since i washed the whole car then clayed before drying, next time i know better, will try the per panel method

the paint protection of big berts is using klasse na ata eh so im just looking for something to top it off with, my car color is white pala, any more recommended products? i read carnauba is good for dark colors does it give the same effect to a white car?

tia

btw did the detailing eb pushed through? also want to attend
happy holidays!!

I wanna see a Demo...

i read carnauba is good for dark colors does it give the same effect to a white car?

You will see the effect more on a darker colored car, cuz it provides more depth. For light colored cars, a cleaner wax will do but you can also use a carnuba wax. Applying Carnuba on a sealant would affect the longevity of a sealant AFAIK.

Magkano kaya per panel? Bagay yan sa bumper at hood ko ah which are prone to scratches

[theveed]

Wala pa dito nyan eh, i think they offer it sa US (dunno if they already are offering) as a package with a new car.

Armourcoat ata yung gumawa.

[bigfellow2k]

[theveed]

lumabas white, nothing you can do if its the primer.

[bigfellow2k]

madala pa kaya ito sa rubbing compound?

[ILuvDetailing]
