Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

mga gurus, ano po ba mga avail na polisher/buffer dito sa atin? pakilagay na din po yung brand and model pati na din po yung price, thanks

[mbeige]

I just waxed my car with the new Meguiar's NXT tech wax (bottle). Sobrang bango! Even better than the Gold Class wax, and considering it's a polymer wax, it should last more than the Carnauba type. Very happy with the results myself!

^^thanks for the input boss mbeige! iniisip ko nga kung e1 nanowax or megs wax ang bibilhin ko 2 (maroon yung oto ko)

galing lang ako kaninang han's tools..first time ko lang nakapunta dun e hehe nakakita na rin ako ng ccd, water blade,etc! hwow!mukhang kailangan ko na nga talagang magtrabaho!

got myself just 1 microtex plush mf (yung pula na medyo pink) para di sayang lakad hehehe!

[mmanson]

Pls recommend a non-glossy viynl protectant and/or cleaner. How would you rate Armor All, F21, Mothers and Megs.

Whatever you do, don't get Armor All. Aerospace 303 ang gamit ko. Kung gusto ko may amoy, Meguiar's Interior Quik Detailer. Mabango rin Mom's. Pero for the dash, and for real SPF protection, yung Aerospace 303 nilalagay ko where ever the sun could shine on na matagal like on the dash, sa rear deck, rearseat na sandalan, door trim, etc.

what will you recommend to clean windshields?

i have these nasty watermarks on the windshield and windows. Sabi sakin dun sa detailing center sa amin, parang acid rain daw. They quoted me P1k to clean all the windows and windshield.

Gusto kong i-DIY eh.

Rubbing compound kaya?

with shampoo, with QD, with paint cleaner...etc.. they're not just for drying basically, thus, to answer your question, yes.
hth

Thanks for the reply! Just to follow up, I bought a YELLOW Microtex microfiber towel - does it make a difference? Thanks again!

*bogart, somewhere in the early pages of this thread, a then-newbie detailing enthusiast (named patopig, having the same problem) used a mixture of vinegar and water for those waterspots. hth (as I have not yet had the need to rectify such a prob).

*louien, what do you mean by "does it make a difference?"?

ot: *ILD and D: where're you guys at? tahimik ata kayo recently?

Because if I'm not mistaken I read somewhere that the yellow Microtex towel is for drying only (this is the only microfiber towel I have for the meantime)... I just want to keep my carwash paraphernalia kept to a minimum i.e. shampoo and towel for BOTH washing-shampooing and drying (a bit oldschool as my dad used a chamois that's rubbery that you were supposed to store wet/ moist to clean our old cars with... ) or is this simply an incorrect way to do it? Appreciate it!
