Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

*jmpet626: i haven't tried it on wheels but i've had great success with body panels, but you could try this http://www.autopia-carcare.com/realwhda.html my BF sent me that link but i laughed at his first attempt on repairing his curb gash but don't let that stop you from trying, what i recommended was mainly for paint chips and short deep scratches hehe, as for the sandpaper any water-proof sandpaper would do, i got my 1500 and 2000 from Ace, i forgot where i got my 2500 and 3000 but i think its from either Handyman or from some paint store. if you are planning on just filling the chips, nicks and deep scratches then you can start with 1500 grit, but if you're planning on doing an area, this is when you might want to go down to 600 grit for the paint to stick, this is usually done by DIY'ers that have their own air compressor and spraygun.

Hehe it's no big deal. Basta tayo tuloy lang sa pag-alaga. Nanay ko na mismo nagsabi na inggitero lang yun :bwahaha:. Kapag nagdala na ng oto sa school balitaan ko kayo kung palaging maputik . Lalo na yung Explorer kung mailabas nya sa parking bwahahaha.

Hopefully it doesn't rain also ngayong araw hehe, para mapatungan ko bukas ng 2nd coat ng 476.

Oww. Under warranty po ba? Kulitin nyo na lang Toyota hehe. Dapat ayusin nila yon . Or better yet dun nyo po ipa-ayos sa may mga good feedbacks na Toyota casa

*doc
Hahaha. Hihiram ako DC kay sir Ed tapos kakamayin ko nalang! Ubos pintura nun



Ako gusto kong hugasan yung EK namin ngayon, kaso, Cleaning QD na lang! :hysterical:

Its still under warranty, but you know them, they'll always try to look for something to void the warranty, we're on our way back there in a few minutes, i just hate the fact that every time we bring it over things just get worse, and one more thing i hate is that every we bring my BF's innova there we always see scratches around the engine area.

BTW you want to "detail" that persons car? try using TW Rubbing compound, thats sure to break the paint more than diamond cut hahaha

Hey for the EK don't get too lazy ok? hahaha how do you find the ONR?

i agree, black looks more classy and slick, its just blacks are a part time job to maintain hehe

Hehe thanks sir! Naku sir sarap po sa pakiramdam yang black kapag bagong detail, parang salamin at candy-coated yung paint. Actually nung pinapapili pa lang kami ng kulay ng Vios namin gusto ko black eh haha kahit that time di pa ko marunong mag-detail.

Ugali yan ng Toyota kahit kailan

Sorry OT:

>> It is quite shocking to know this, knowing parehong Japanese ang Toyota at Nissan, kasi never had problems with Nissan kahit saang casa (tatlo na na-try ko)...type ko pa naman yung bagong Camry pero kung ganiyan pala ang mga Toyota Service Centers...medyo isip na

[mf051404]

Paki-define nga po yung difference ng "more depth" at "reflective shine"? Pagkakaintindi ko kasi eh:

more depth: yung tipong parang kumakapal ang clearcoat (thus an improvement in color, may glass effect)

reflective shine: tipong mirror effect (na kapag tinamaan ng ilaw or sunshine eh nakakasilaw)...

gusto ko kasi yung effect ng nanoglos, ganun din ba effect ng colli476 >> more depth
tama po ba to?
