Thanks theveed.

Mabuti na lang walang foam sa ilalim. Yung parang "lawanit" na kaagad na takip ng spare. And konti lang yung tumulo, tumagilid lang yung sealed na bote.

Just to be sure... yung Lysol ba is the Lysol All Purpose Cleaner? http://www.lysol.com/solutionsfinder...tml#article5_1

Bibili pa lang ako. Ang lysol ko dito yung spray. http://www.lysol.com/solutionsfinder.shtml

[theveed]

Yung lysol na pang CR lang pre, yung hinahalo sa tubig.

any users/comments on Mothers Reflections Car Wax?

thanks

[chain]

bro, been using it for a while in conjunction with its spray wax.

I use it on dark colored cars and so far, I'm satisfied with the results and the depth it provides. shine is ok for me but not as good as the other products out there.
hey, kaya nga Reflections di ba? great when you're after depth...

durability? hmm it can go for a week and a half up to 2 weeks on my car before it starts to wear, thin and produce areas and splotches around my ride.. but that's understandable with the kind of weather we're having lately (bihira umaraw kasi!)

I'm currently using it right now after a cleaner wax / Rotary combo as an LSP. parang carnauba na din ang initial look niya.

thanks Dehadista,

Malapit na kasi maubos Hot Wheels ko eh and I'm choosing between FX Synwax and Reflections.

Any experience on FX?

salamat po ulit.

Synwax is easy to apply and buff off, durability well maybe a couple of weeks tops because of our weather. Great for my silver ride. Good depth and shine.

thanks very much ILD.

my ride is silver too.... hmmm tough choices, but I guess I can't go wrong with either of the two...


thanks guys, appreciate it

[ILuvDetailing]

uhmmm... please post some pics art, requirement yan dito

[artpogi]

ILD,

hehehe, nakakahiya bro!

nagsisimula pa lang ako matuto about waxes and stuff. But I will post pics kapag nakuha ko na ng tama...

[chain]

FX? just like what ILD said.

I tend to see this as Mom's counterpart to Megs NXT. halos parehas ang looks kaso mas madali ang product removal ng Mom's (and alot cheaper too..)

finally, pics naman! hahaha

pwede na ba i-wax ung mga touch-up paint. nung nagpapaint kasi ako may mga backjob. 3 months na nung na repaint ung kotse. ngayon ko lang naibalik kasi ngayon lang nagka-oras. saka ang daming swirls, gusto ko na sana pa detail sa bigberts.

thanks.

[chain]

gaano kalaki ang area ng touch-up paint?

anyway, kung madami nang swirls, you either have the option of covering that with a glaze or removing it completely by polishing. but its best to have a pro assess the surface. para makita talaga. since bagong repaint, there might be more defects that can be remedied by buffing.

[flakez]

mga 6x12 inches. ung sa may trunk tapos sa may bumper mga 4x4 inches naman.

gusto ko na nga sana pa detail sa saturday para diretso na sa pag seal. saka para may promo pa sa footspa ung bigberts. hehehe

[B2Bomber]

dati di ko naappreciate masyado yung effect ng pre-wax cleaner pag ginagamit ko sa auto ko. pero nung dinetail ko auto ni gf na '92 (ata) na corolla, 2nd hand and never pang nadetail (usual wash and wax lang) mula nung nakuha nya, ngayon, naappreciate ko na sya. hehe

Finished...


(Z-18 clayed, Moms Pre-wax Cleaner, Megs 20 sealed)

sensya na, wala talaga akong planong kunan ng pics tong session na 'to pero nung nakita ko yung pagkakaiba ng linis nung side na ng roof na na cleaner na, napakuha na ako ng before and after na and this finished "product". tsaka bumabagyo pa nito nun kaya wala ring sun shot.

[claRkEnt]

ginanahan ka yata talaga after your DIY sa Getz mo.

[ILuvDetailing]

nice work b2bomber :D a cleaner wax is a white car's best friend.

nagsawa lang ako sa "old" canvass ko (getz). hehe. tsaka syempre, mas magandang kunan ng result yung mga tipong "neglected". solve nga e. aliw na aliw si GF, kaso baka raw mamihas si "Sam", yung 'rolla nya. hehehe.

[B2Bomber]

nice work b2bomber :D a cleaner wax is a white car's best friend.

ty.honga e. napansin ko rin. nung una akala ko anino lang. e nung tingnan ko ng ibang anggulo, aba, may effect nga yung cleaner wax. hehehe. sana sa pag-uwi ko, dark color naman ang mahanap kong canvass hehehe. ay, subukan ko nga muna palang i-polish si "Sam" at di ko na nakuhang ipolish nun e. clay, clean, seal lang.
*resmile: aamin na ako, ginanahan nga ata ako (aamin na ako: nagkabit ako ng additional na 3 florescent tubes sa garahe para lang mas ok ang pagdedetail sa gabi, siguro next time insect killer lamp naman, at additional na ilaw pa hehehe). sarap ng feeling pagnakakuha ng significant na result.
