hehe ive been researching abt detailing for the past few months now and i still feel i have a lot to learn from the detailing Gods here. i haven't even tried using an RO yet. but hopefully, i will learn more.

we all still have a lot to learn, lets exchange ideas here.

morrissey: Bumili ka na ng Rotary?

medyo mahal and risky kaya di muna ako bumili.

ILD,

di pa eh. somehow i like application by hand. workout pa. pero if ever baka BnD. lets see kung may budget pa. whats your detailing combo btw?

I have the BnD KP600. Before I do a 3-step - Clay, Megs Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner/Mothers Step 1/Bigberts Liquid Shine, Mothers S & G, Mothers Carnuba. Took me the whole day, nakakapagod. Now I just 2-step pag may time, Mothers Cleaner Wax, 3M Perfect-It Show Car Wax. For maintenance I wax around twice a month.

if ever, I try to avoid using the BnD. simply put, hindi kasi variable speed. I only use the rotary when it comes to surface corrections. masyadong matagal sa ROP. however, final finish ko palagi gamit ko ROP..

Honestly, when it comes to applying stuff, I prefer using a machine. 5-10 minutes lang. so definitely, more curing time, more time to apply layers.

so for the detailers out there, mention naman your combos and products. fave ko ngayon ang soft99 together with klasse. in between, i'm trying out megs speed detailer QD. a bit thick as compared to megs #34 (FI) but it gets the job done.

oh, before I forget to mention... maganda nga pala yung Microtex MF... sarap gamitin for drying.

nga pala, maganda ang Rotary. medyo steep ang learning curve but it's worth it. saves you time and results are exemplary.

dehadista: Ano gamit mong Rotary? Makita ba? 9K+ kasi medyo mabigat sa bulsa, sama mo pa yung Megs Pads. Ano pala gamit mong pads sa Rotary?

Bumili ka rin pala, yellow kinuha ko, medyo takot pa ako gamitin sa hood baka biglang mag swirl. Ayun ginamit ko sa fenders, side mirrors, at salamin, medyo di ok para sa salamin, pero ok sa body.

yung microtex san nabibili?

simple combo lang ako. zymol cleaner wax, yung nakasale ngaun. FR minsan. sometimes 3M HG din. wax ko ngaun soft99 and 3M show car liquid (subok lang). plan to try Bigberts LS as soon as maubos yung zymol. nung bibili sana ako ala daw stock e. sayang.

care to refresh my memory? which machines are variable?
