B2Bomber: daming questions ah.. anyway. Here’s some late answers to some of your Q’s:

Mom’s Back to Black is excellent for restoring old trim. Lasts for a month on my ride.

Nope. Mom’s doesnt have their version of Engine Kote. In fact, this product was phased out already. Sayang nga eh.

Sure bet ang 24 hr. curing time for sealants. But as theveed said, you can cut it close at 6-8 hrs if you’re into layering.

Wet-looking? Hmmm.. Megs Insane Tire Shine. But it doesn’t last. Pwede ring yung Endurance Gloss but durability is a bit shoddy too. Apply then let it dry. Mga 15 mins., apply uli for added gloss. Ingat nga lang sa sling afterwards.

as for your other queries sa Mom's Products, I think there's a thread that can cover that effectively. dami masyado para gawan ng short review for each. hehehe

bro, ginamit ko yung brown last time to apply SG. used an orbital. mabilis pero ingat kasi medyo mapapadami ang lagay kung machine ang gamit. sayang naman.

San ba pwede mag-aral magrepaint ng sasakyan? Gustong-gusto ko kasi talaga pag-aralan kaso walang lugar na nagpoprovide unless you're on the repainting business.

Saka pano po kaya ito? nagkaroon ng deep scratches ung sasakyan ko sa right passenger door moulding. Balak ko sana bumili na lang ng chap para matago kaso para sa silver/gray colored lang ang available sa ace. San po kaya ako makakahanap ng para sa black?

[B2Bomber]

try mo to, http://www.highland-trading.com/about.shtml ayun sa "about" nila meron sila refinishing training center. sa tesda kaya?

Mukhang wala na ata ito? Saka sa Tesda wala pa akong nakikitang course na for automobile detailing. Sinubukan ko rin sa Meralco Foundation kaso Basic Car Maintenance and more on Automobile maintenance and electrical lang ang inooffer.

batang_raon14: dont get those chap sticks. practically useless.

sorry cant help you on as to how and where to learn to paint. what i did was I hung around our shop with a bunch of old-school painters and practically picked it up from there.

[glockmeister26]

Anybody using a foam gun like the foamaster?

[ILuvDetailing]

tnx po sir. =D

Saka nga po pala, balak ko sana magbuff ng sasakyan ko gamit grinder with buffing pads. Para lang sana mag-even yung color tone ng buong body. Ano po bang kelangang procedures para dito at ano po bang mga compounds na kelangan? Main goal lang po kasi is to even the color tone on the whole body. Ung left quarter panel ko kasi nanotice ko na after marepaint (scratch on gate), iba ung kulay compared sa whole body.

Don't use a grinder, its to powerfull. Baka masunog pintura mo. Either buy a Rotary or have a professional do it. Mukhang DIY ka, so better invest in a Rotary :D.

Mismatched color matching, either because A. orig color already faded or B. mali ang timpla

[chain]

buffing won't even out the color.. and don't use a grinder. its too powerful and spins too fast. tama si ILD. sunog ang pintura mo kagad nyan.

if you're really interested, invest in a Rotary or a ROP for serious detailing.

[batang_raon14]

Kamukha kasi ng grinder ung mga nakikita pag may nagrerepaint eh? Kaya nung kinalikot ko ung stock room namin at nakahanap ako, kala ko pwede na. Di rin pala.

B. mali ang timpla

Sir, mukhang eto po sagot. Kasi, pagkabalik samen ganun na talaga kulay eh?

Maghanap siguro muna ako ng mabait na mentor detailer. Hehe... =D

[manilenio]

Has anyone tried the 5starshine? Can anyone comment on this?

[the_wildthing]
