Natapos ko rin tong thread, whew! Thanks! Natanggal ko na rin yung overspray sa rear ng auto ko, used Meg's Cleaner wax and Mother's Carnauba. Ka-adik! Yung door ding naman, grr..(may nakita ako na non-paint dent remover)..

Gurus oks lang ba na lagyan ko ng wax yung mga exterior lights esp headlights (guto ko kasi makintab din yun eh)? Ginagawa ko yun sa glass lamps pero nag dadalawang isip ako sa plastics baka kasi pag mainit na yung headlight e lumabo yung plastic? TIA!

mga mods, is there any possibility to park somewhere this Detailing Thread in Tsikot.com that can be opened in one button click only. i mean, yung hindi link sa thread na ito, parang summary of all replies sa thread. kahit alam kong pinaghirapan niyo yung mga reply, ang sa akin lang naman ay kung pwede...

Snake V6,

there are plastic polish available out there, the only brand I remember is from Mothers but I'm sure there other brands out there.

Use plastic polish just to be on the safe side.

archerwin: usually may group buy sila theveed ng Klasse Twins, depending on the exchange rate and shipping cost it will set you back around 3-3.5K more or less. Good investment IMHO, matipid kasi.

how will you know if it's usable or not?

Madali lang, tignan mo lang yung consistensy ng product, once you see it malalaman mo na.

namumuo at naghihiwalay yung liquid sa paste-like product... Di dapat ganun ang AG.

veed: hehehe meron ako kinuha dati talagang hiwalay na. sobrang lapot..

ginagawa ko hinahalo ko uli tapos ginagamit ko pa sa mga ibang auto. its not good anymore. tapos instead of ease in product removal, naging mahirap pa.

with regards to plastic polish, meron megs sa pro line. meron din sa eagle one and mom's..

I used Megs PlastX dati. (this is the one from their consumer line) does miracles in tailights and the plastic protecting the gauges.

the thing with these plastic polishes is that you have to work it in talaga to get some discernible effect. tapos numerous passes pa.

dehadista: re plastic polishes, kaya ba by hand? btw am getting the mothers plastic polish, have you tried this?
