*Chikselog: Yes they have Carlack LLS, its around 1.4 to 1.6k i think? The M20 has very light cleaners but not as good as Step 1, if thats what you are asking. The Carlack LLS is a pure sealant and it does not contain any cleaners.

If you are going to use it, it should be Step 2, LLS and then Step 3. But i guess it might give you some bonding issues though since the Step 2 has some oils in it and this might cause LLS to not bond properly to the paint. If you want to apply a sealant on your car, you could do 2 things

1. Apply Step 2 as you normally would, do a 50/50 IPA wipe down ( just dilute 50% Isopropyl Alcohol with 50% Distilled Water, spray it to the paint panel by panel and wipe it dry ) to remove the oils, it will still give you that extra gloss from Step 2 and the added filling properties, this just removes the oils, then apply LLS, wait for 24 hours to cure properly ( its important not to drive the car around so you don't have to re-wash ) then do a QD wipe down to clean the car and apply the wax.

2. Apply Step 2, Get the Carlack NSC instead ( it also offers a nice gloss but has a little less durability than the LLS but still good ) and then go directly to Step 3.

I see..Carlack 68 ba yung LLS? Again thanks again for your inputs .. Ang galing nung 50/50 IPA method to remove the oils from some waxes..:2thumbsup:

As of now I'm deciding pa kasi kung ano talaga bibilhin ko.. I want to protect the car from the heat and also as early as now nasa isip ko na kung paanong mas ma-protect pa yung paint come rainy season..

As for Degreasers, Simple Green MAX is good, I use Mark V Degreaser as well as a degreaser i bought via carbouy locally and both works well, though i have Megs and other products i just save them for euro cars but honestly its all the same for me, it all boils down to concentration actually. What i normally do is spray kerosene and let it sit for about 2 minutes and then re-spray the wheel wells, and then wait for 3 to 5 minutes depending on when i see the asphalt melt and drip down. The thats the time i spray the degreaser to remove the kerosene and then soak the grime up for about another 5 minutes before i use a extended handle brush and work the grime out. I finish it up with either dressings or cleaner waxes, depending on the surface of thewheel wells.

I see.. I'm gonna try this one.. Nung una ko kasing asphalt removal sa paint pati sa wheel wells sobrang takot ako sa pag spray ko ng kerosene, mga 30 seconds lang ata tapos nilagyan ko na ng dishwashing liquid..

Yung Simple Green MAX ba ok din gamitin sa mga exterior plastic black trims? Specifically wax stains in black trims and also restoration na rin para magmukhang bago ulit like the trim below the wiper blades.. Conservative kasi ako hehehe, baka sakaling pupwede rin gamitin..

*mada: QD's are generally used for cleaning the paint, whether for using it to clean contaminants like Tree Saps and Bird Droppings before it etches into the paint or simply for removing light dusts and giving it that newly detailed look. QD's are generally used on a dry surface and personally i use after i wash my car when im not waxing, if im waxing i use it after the waxing stage. You could use QD's for after washing just to add gloss but it does not offer any real protection. As for your Eagle One question, it would depend on what product you bought, is it the Wax As You Dry? Wipe and Shine?

Ok lang yan sir..Mas maganda pa nga gamitin yan after washing dahil kahit papaano ay may wax yan.. Though it doesn't offer long term protection, it's still good to apply it after washing the car..

Ang QD sobrang konting protection lang ang inooffer, well, most of them..And it's really not meant to serve as a protection for your paint..

*Chikselog....diba di dapat mag wax all the time? kakatamad kasi ang tagal mong matapos...sabi ng iba wax once or twice a month, so yung spray wax nalang between those two kasi mas madali...nice idea?

need to buy that QD...sa nababasa ko kasi ang daming purpose yan.
