i just used megs scratchx 2.0 on our black tucson to remove watermarks/etching, success!!! pero kailangan talaga ng pressure... di pa ako tapos pero very happy ako sa result ng megs scratchx 2.0... after ko mag scratchx 2.0, i apply mothers step 3 and mothers showtime... bought scratchx 2.0 in ATC * 870.00...

Hi,

Wala ka ba ng before and after na pics? So Meg's ScratchX can also remove watermarks pala. Thanks!

[rico_g]

CCS Red Ultrasoft Wax/Sealant Foam yan sir. Pang apply lang siya ng wax at sealants di sya for product removal. Gamit ko rugby tapos yung mga gilid gilid mighty bond. Malaking tulong talaga yung velcro mod kasi yung applicator ng bnd na foam madaling mapunit at mahirap ikabit. Usually 1 time use lang siya kasi madali masira.

ano kayang magandang wax for my ride?
currently, I'm using TW Platinum, that's all. I'm planning to buy Nano Glos and Nano Sliq. Would that be good?

Depends on your purpose and how often can you wax your car...for example my case I opt for long lasting protection and not the shine, so I use Collinite 476s (doesn't mean it isn't shiny, just not as shiny as the others)...but is quite durable so you don't have to really wax that often.

Pwede na yan. Actually maganda ang NanoGLOS + NanoSLIQ

If you want durability, Collinite talaga

845 Insulator Wax bagay sa color ng CR-V 2.4S-X 4WD mo

Nabasa ko sa mga forum na may cutting compounds daw ang Sapphire, for initial use ok siguro sya for corrective purpose na din, pero hindi yata sya magandang gamitin palagi dahil ninipis ang clear coat? Kaya recommended is either 845 (insulator), 476s, 915 of yung Fleetwax (speaking of Collinite ha) dahil walang abrasives..tama ba?

Dalawa po kasi yung Collinite Sapphire. Yung isa Pre-Wax Cleaner. Baka yun yung may Abrasive.

[jagtemp]

hmmm.. pwede yan. Ginagawa ko Step 2 + 915..

Siguro mga after 3 hours tsaka ka mag coat ng Sapphire

ah sige try ko to sir.

[Starex_Gold]

Tatlong klase ang Collinite Sapphire.

Sapphire Prewax Cleaner (No. 840)


Liquid Sapphire Auto Wax (No. ss-126)


Paste Sapphire Auto Wax (No. 73)


Pinaka maganda yung No.73

Before:


After: Pahinga muna si Collinite, Mothers Step 3 + Reflections Top Coat muna.

[jagtemp]

Ayun. Ah so hindi ba masyadong aggressive/abrasive un Sapphire 73SS kung gagamitin regularly?

[Starex_Gold]

Hindi abrasive yung 73SS at SS126.

Pwede yun pang regular. Mas maganda lang yung 73SS kasi paste, mas durable

double post

[Mguy]

Mga chongs,

Just got into detailing lang my ride pero beginner lang ako. Masyadong mahaba itong thread na ito to back read pero I hope i got it right. What I did with my ride is the following.

1. Wash the car using MicroMagic car shampoo, using a sponge for the underside and microfiber cloth for the upper side.

2. Removed excess water using a silicon blade

3. Dried off with another microfiber cloth

4. Applied Formula 1 Carnauba Wax in a circular fashion using an edgeless applicator

5. Removed the haze afterwards with a dry cotton cloth.

I get confused on what else to do. I know there is a difference between polish and wax, but which one to do first. I didn't get to use clay bars or scratch removers or other stuff, since my car is fairly new (2 months old) so I just wanted protection from the rain since the rain usually dries leaving dirt marks.

I also wanted to go to Big Berts, pero daming tao palagi everytime I would be free to go. I was looking for the Mothers products and Meguiars as well, pero all I got to find were OTC waxes.

I hope I'm protecting my car right.

[Starex_Gold]

Ok naman yan. Pero try to invest on "more" or "better" detailing materials.

Actually, regardless kung bago or old ang kotse mo. Pwede ka naman magpa schedule sa BigBerts para sa Optiguard paint protection. Hindi pa late since 2 months palang CR-V mo.

Anong color?

[Mguy]

Anong color?

Urban Titanium. Hirap mag-pa-sked. Most often than not, I just drop by if I have 3 hours to kill. Eh daming kotse naka-pila.

So far, ok naman yun wax because I got that sheeting/beading effect para mawala ang rain water. At least its leave a lot less dirt when it dried, and in addition, I use a Microtex car duster to remove excess dust. Problem it, since the duster is fairly new, daming maliliit na himulmol ang naiiwan pa.

[Starex_Gold]

Yeah. Nag hihimulmol pa ang Microtex Duster kapag bago. Kaya ako everytime na mag duster, punas agad ng clean MF.

Urban Titanium, yan gusto kong color ng Gen 3.5 CR-V. hehe. Satellite silver sa akin, mahirap palabasin ang shine. Mabuti yang sayo, darker shade, deeper shine.

Hmmm.. gusto mo i-try yung Collinite waxes? very durable.
