Kulang nga lang power niya para maka remove ng oxidation at swirls although pwede niya ma hide ang mga swirls at scratches kung gumamit ka ng glazes

Eto yung article ni Mike Philipps about wax spreaders

sir JM, what did you use para dumikit ung velcro? Mighty bond? rugby?

Also, wats this big red thing? is this an applicator? buffing pad? is this better than using an MF bonnet? (i made an MF bonnet out of those micromagic MF towels. mahal microtex para gawing bonnet eh. although i'd really rather use velcro for ease.

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.

Hi, Sorry for late reply.

I bought Mom's Claybar then apply on my Hood. It lessen the watermarks but noticeable pa rin yung iba. In, short di kinaya ng Clay + Carnauba Cleaner Wax with pressure. Hinde pa naman siya nag etch, I'll drop by again on Blade to get Meg's SwirlX sana matanggal na.

Yes, step 1 is usually only used 2 to 3 times a year or depending on the condition of the paint

2.)If Step 1 is required, do I need to apply the clay? Medyo madumi kase bubong balak ko i-clay. Ano po mauna, Clay or Step 1?
Clay first then step 1

3.)May interval po ba pag-apply ng mga wax? Step 1 1hr then Step 2 ...etc?
From Step 1 to Step 2 and from Step 2 to Step 3 there is no waiting time, you just need to wait for cure times which is when you want to layer waxes and sealants.

4.) How do I remove watermarks on the hood?
That depends on what kind of water marks, if its just mineral deposits you could remove them with clay, but these are the light ones that can't be removed by washing, if its already etched you might want to use a polish already for that.

Btw, I have all the materials needed for the detail, except for the buffing machine. So wax,clay,sealer&glaze na lang hanap ko.

Wax - there are a lot of good waxes out there, actually Megs, Mothers and TW makes great waxes its just that nowadays some people really prefer to spend more and get more protection for their paint thats why collinite has been making raves, but for summer time all 3 wax companies have waxes that are great for maintaining the paint its just that the recent intermittent rains can really cause unsightly watermarks on the paint especially since you can have water splat on your car and dry up, up to 3 times a day lately.

For shine TW platinum and Mothers Step 3 are good, Mothers step 3 falls a little short on after washings but its still great especially the paste version, Megs has Gold Class which is like Moms Step 3 in terms of shine being easily washed but it looks really good on black, and of course there's Megs which looks great on all colors and has hydrophobic technology and can fill swirls, this of all OTC products last the longest but is also the most expensive. Microtex have also come up with a wax and i love its filling capabilities and its shine.

For glazes if you want an easy to apply glaze then go for Moms Step 2, but if you want better results you can go for 3m IHG but i don't always recommend that because its a PITA to remove.

Hi, Thanks for the help

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?

kailangan ko na ata talaga ng covered parking.

Yung suggestion ni Ma'am Madkatz ok naman, nanoGLOS then Colli476s (single coat pa lang), hanggang ngayon ok pa (2 weeks na yata) parang kalalagay ko lang ng wax hitsura niya parang bagong lagay na clearcoat (considering maulan dito sa baguio at kapag umaraw naman eh maalikabok..di pa ako nag-a-apply ng nanosliq at balak ko mag-2nd coat...baka di na sya kumapit kapag may nanosliq na...

**orange23** · July 1st, 2010 11:38 AM

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...

Kaya recommended is either 845 (insulator), 476s, 915 of yung Fleetwax (speaking of Collinite ha) dahil walang abrasives..tama ba?
