Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[B2Bomber]

yup, nung basahin ko ulit yung "sandwhich" kanina, nakuha ko rin yung ibig mong sabihin. pero na-post na pala yung akala ko di napost na reply ko, anyway...

there's no cut-out step-by-step process actually.

I guess this applies to almost everything naman e. di ba. thanks guys.

After a couple of days of bad weather, I washed my car under a light drizzle (what guys do for their rides ), after a wipedown I check my cars hood... there are lot of scratches, I took out my trusty Black n Decker ROP and the 3M scratch remover, I don't have any other polisher left so I used this. Worked on around 80% of the hood, most of the scratches were leveled out. Yes yes, I realise that matapang yung scratch remover but di ko natiis mga scratches hehe. Topped it off with my newly purchased Mothers FX SynWax.

Application and removal was pretty easy, just be careful when pouring, its not as thick as other liquid waxes in the market baka may masayang. Sorry no pics, don't have a digicam. Sa next project na lang.

ILD: sorry hindi ako naka-reply na kanina.. hehehe basketball kasi.

anyway, sobrang dali ang product removal when it comes to SynWax. bad trip lang yung top ng Synwax. very difficult to pour so if you're not careful, madami masasayang. solution: I transferred it to a different container.

Good idea bro, I'll shop for another container... hirap talaga ibuhos na walang sinasayang.

ILD: musta na bro yung hood? daming scratches pa?

medyo nawala na yung mga light scratches, meron dalawang deep scratches, di kayang tanggalin pero medyo na even out ng konte but its still visible di ko alam kung tumagos sa base coat, I'll have it checked.

Am gona look for the Megs Quick Detailer for maintenance. salamat sa tips hehe

hi mga bros! newbie here... so i've read (well not all.. but what i wanted to know) this thread and did some search through it for my detailing kit shopping.

here's what i listed:
1. Car Shampoo (bigbert's shampoo)
2. Wash Mitts 2pcs(concorde - dko alam name hehe basta sa concode ok po ba to? hindi ba nakakagasgas?)
3. Sponge (regular lang, for the wheels)
4. Microtex Chamois (for drying)
5. Microtex Plush (after or final drying / QD application)

ok ba choices ko?

and for my question...
1. what QD spray can you guys suggest? i got a red car (habanero red)
2. how will i clean the fenders (tama ba? yung taas ng gulong, madaming putik, ok lang ba sponge?)
3. ok lang ba yung microtex plush sa glass?
4. san ba may available na eagle 20/20 or what glass cleaners can you suggest?
5. sa tires meron po bang hindi sticky like the common tireblacks?

TIA!

btw guys im under BB's Optiguard program kaya hindi ako nag include ng wax, siguro pag mejo nasanay na ako sa pag detail then i can do it on my own na lang..

welcome jobskism arnolds ata yung mga nasa concorde... which reminds me...binentahan ba naman ako ng mitts ng isang car wash/detailing shop dito sa amin(na affiliated sa isang mainstream na brand ng detailing prod) ng mitt na prod daw nung affiliate nila...anyway...kaya ginagamit ko na lang sya sa lower half...
brush lang gamit ko sa wheel wells at malakas na sirit ng tubig muna lalo na kung may ... alam nyo na. hehehe.
mas ok yung ultra para sa akin...check mo yung user's guide ng mt mo kung meron kana sa mga recommended usage ng bawat variant nila
kung tama pagkakaalala ko ok lang naman na i-maintain mo yung sasakyan mo ng wax kahit nakaoptiguard ka pa... wala namang mavovoid na "warranty" whatsoever dun di ba boss theveed?

[artpogi]

just want your comments on this combination:

1. Mothers S&G
2. Mothers Hotwheels or Reflections.

di ba matatanggal yung S&G if top-off by Hotwheels or Reflections.

[ILuvDetailing]

art: IMO skip the S & G, di durable, magwewear off after a couple of days specially with our weather. Try looking at the Mothers FX Synwax.
