Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[Djerms]

Guys ano ba ang magandang polisher ngayon? I will be buying the carlack68 cleaner wax and the long life sealant kay BBPD. Can the cleaner wax remove small ang light swirls? As much as possible ayoko sana magpolish kasi nakakatakot baka numipis yung paint

Kung hindi kaya ng cleaner wax, ano ba yung pinaka mild na polisher na pwede ko bilhin? How do you apply polishers? Lastly, can I use kitchen sponge na damp to apply these waxes and polisherS?

Thanks.

Thankd ILD. I might just leave polishing and everything abraisive to Big Berts nalang. I'll just do the regular 2 step every two months.

Now I'm looking for a good applicator pad since the carlack 68 kit doesnt have one. I'm thinking kung pwede na damp kitchen sponge eh.

nice article kung pano magrepair ng minor scratches. ok din pala yung technique na 'toothpick' para magrepair ng chips sa paint.

1. Do I apply the clay while soap is still on the panels or dapat pag after hosing it down na with clean water as lubricant?

you can do that with soapy water pero i would suggest using QD for better lubrication

2. Forward backward motion ba or circular? How much pressure should I apply?

i do circular. just glide the clay over the paint

3. When do I know if its time to fold (right term?) the clay?

kapag may nakita ka ng dumi sa clay. don't let the dirt scratch your paint.

After claying, I plan to apply NXT wax or mothers cleaner carnauba wax called all in one yata ang mga ito:

1. I plan to apply manually...where do I get an applicator pad? Okay lang ba if I use a normal sponge?

get megs applicator pads. True Value has them or hans tools. minsan sa blade meron din. 80 pesos

2. Do I apply pressure or light lang like a sealant?

yes afaik.

3. Do I remove with MF towel after it dries or should I wait a couple of minutes like a sealant?

depende sa wax na gagamitin mo. safe bet would be per panel ang lagay/buff.

Sorry po sa mga katanungan...pasensya na po.

no problem sir. hth. cmiiw na lang mga paps

I just had my detailing session this afternoon using the carlack68 wax and longlife sealant. Question ulit mga gurus:

Since I verified that detailing is a very good workout, im planning to do the wax and seal every month. However I am afraid to use the rotary buffer at home...mas gusto ko hand application.

I plan to have my vehicle clayed at BB before the 2-stage diy. Okay lang ba if I hand apply the wax or balewala? I heard that claying leaves stains afterwards. Matatanggal ko ba yun ng cleaner wax by hand application?

So far enjoy ako sa pagdetail. ganda ng effect nung carlack..hehe.

Mga sir yung solid white ko na pick-up is 1-yr old na. Nung pinahiran ko ng rubbing compound (to clear out light scratches) bumalik yung dati nya color (as brand new). Naging glossy din ulit sya. Ok lang po ba na i-rubbing compound ko yung whole body then i-wax ko? Ok lang po ba tong ganitong method?
