ILD: thanks! kaya gusto ko yung clay bar system, may kasama ng QD and carnauba wax... pde na.

may wash mitt na ako - 2..

yung car shampoo ko yung was and wax ng polyglaze... sayang naman... uubusin ko muna bago ako munili ng bigberts... late ko na kasi nabasa na hindi pala ganun kaganda yun...

ok ba gamitin yung 3M swirl remover kahit 2 mo-old palang car ko? may swirls na kasi eh

thanks!

archererwin, sana ganyan ka parin ka alaga sa car, let's say after a year suggest ko na pa optiguard or PPP mo sa bigberts para at least every quarter ay maintained/detailed ang car mo...

sabihin mo kay mazdamazda bigyan ka ng ibang detailing stuffs niya..

[archerwin]

sige, pag may pera pa-PPP ko. baka next sunday punta ako sa bigberts para bumili nung shampoo... may binebenta ba na less than a gallon?

mazdamazda,
benta mo na iba mong stuff sa akin... hehehehe

Guys,

After using your clay, how do you clean it before storing it?

Ako kasi I just remove whatever small particles I can remove and that's about it, I don't rinse it with water.

So how do you clean your clay for storage?

art: just place it in a dry area at room temp ok na yan. I put mine in an Erazer container.

ILD, thanks again.

Akala ko kailangan pa i-rinse with water or something like that.


Salamat ulit.

over the weekend i have bought the mothers clay bar and scratch remover. i already clayed my car and smooth na yung surface... thanks for all your help! ngayon nalululong na rin ako... :D

i have some more questions for my next shopping spree... hehehe

1. i saw in true value that meguires and mothers both have a 3-step products. what is the diff between the 2. megs is more expensive than moms, does it follow that it's also better? anong mas ok?

2. what is the diff between moms cleaner wax and yung pre-wax cleaner (step1), hindi muna ako bumili nung step 1 kasi parang pareho lang. tama ba?

thanks! BTW, i went to bigberts last saturday. i bought the shampoo and 2 pcs of red microtex. hindi ko lang alam kung si theveed yung nagbenta sa akin. 2 kasi sila naka polo ng light yellow eh.

Here's what I know and it's not much

Cleaner-Wax - is a wax with cleaner/cleaning properties. It protects your paint from the elements.

Pre-wax cleaner - is a mild polish and does not have protective properties. It removes old waxes and preps your paint for the Stage 2 & 3.

Gurus paki korek na lang po.

Cleaner wax is bs.waste of money. All you need is clay(surface prep)second step, polish to remove the swirl marks and light scratches and for final step wax or sealer.Use 100% terry cloth or microfiber.I highly recommend using a random orbital buffer for beginner.

[archerwin]

cleaner wax kasi ksama ng clay ng moms...

another question po. yung step 2 ng moms yung sealer and glaze, sealant ba talaga yun or glaze lang?
