na-try ko na TW wax is the finish 2001 polish(although its not trully a polish). ok naman but it was very "powdery" to remove unlike mothers and megs... dami nya residue. maganda yun wash mitt na sheepskin! Ok rin yun terry cloths since medyo mura sya its what i use for the dirty jobs like cleaning the interior or ceiling or buffing the wheels or removing initial polishes and waxes before buffing with MF. Mahal kase MF, sayang kung panlinis mo ng mags hehehe

mukhang ok na rin yun package, dagdagan mo na lang ng polish or if its first time to detail the car, a paint cleaner or clay bar. If you think about it, a bottle of megs or mothers wax will cost 6-700.

another good product I've tried is the EO polish and wax(a bit pricey at 800+). It dries up fast and its abit powdery to remove. Also, it does'nt smell as good as megs hehehe. Since medyo tamad ako magpolish and wax separately(at certain days) eto gamit ko sa light cars namin. medyo tamad ako since napansin ko it does not have that big effect of separately polishing(like megs #7) a silver or light gray car. just my observation hehehe i'm no expert :D

yup. ok naman pero mas maganda quality ng Microtex IMO.. ang hinihintay ko yung waffle weave ng Microtex actually.

I have two bags of these. sa warehouse namin ginagamit ngayon.

Magkano kaya Waffle Weave ng Microtex kung lumabas? sana less that 1K

**chain** · May 22nd, 2005 02:41 AM

definitely less than 1K yan.. ang nakakagulat yung presyo ng Megs Ultimate drying towel.. P980!
