Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

[JCEE]

thanks sir ILD, pero may speciefic brand ba yung quick detailer and polish paint cleaner? para maka bili asap =] thanks

scratchx, with final touches of #7 and NXT

magkaiba ba ang use ng 3M scratch remover sa scratchX? and ano po ba yung NXT and lastly yung sinasabi nilang swirlmark in car detailing terms??? nagiging masyadong conscious na ako about car care i like to maintain kasi our black ride yun nga lang mahirap pala talaga..i guess more question from me. i might stick to these thread hehe.

[ILuvDetailing]

try the Eagle One Quick Detailer. Try the Quick Detailer first before going the cleaner wax route but to answer your question you can't go wrong with mothers or meguiars cleaner wax.

baka its hazing.. I find the 3m scratch remover to be pretty aggressive on some finishes. Did you break it down well? Try using a a milder polish or switch to scratchX or mother's scratch remover..
the 3M and ScratchX are made by two different brands, the latter is by Meguiar's swirl marks naman are yung circular patterns na you can see on your paint lalo na if hindi naalagaan.. kinda like scratches that are circular The NXT naman is a LSP..

Sarap i-DACP hehehe

[JCEE]

sana umaraw bukas ng makita ko maigi yung swirl marks. ano ba pinang tatanggal sa mga ganyan, parang meron nga ata yung sakin swirls. yung sa above pic pareho kami na marami na ring ganyang scratch yung sasakyan. ano pangtatanggal ko dun scratchX? sori nalilito pa rin ako sa pag dedetail wax at shampoo lang alam ko di pa maganda brand tama nga si PK once you go black you never comeback hehehehe

[cardo]

You dont need the sun to check for swirls, you can use a flourescent light source as well... but its gonna be brutal, not a single imperfection can hide from that one

[JCEE]

sir dehadista salamat nga pala sa pic :D

ano po ba pinangtatanggal sa mga swirlmarks?

[chain]

polish the paint to remove the surface defects. you will have to abrade the paint of course.

or you can hide the defects by slapping on some glaze like Mom's or 3M IHG..

then you can put on your LSP (Wax, Sealant) to preserve your work.

To all detailing Guru's, Im planing to buy this 91Montero it has this ugly fender flairs not original what wories me is that if i remove it how will i remove the adhisive and yong bakat nya sa paint 14yrs old na yon Montero.what will i do?Is there still a chance to remove the adhisive and yon bakat nya? thanks!

[ILuvDetailing]

I think the fender flares are bolted on using clips not adhesives... IMO

[chris_d]

baka OT:

Saan nakakabili ng all purpose cleaner tulad ng simple green?
How much ba price nito?
Mas mura kaya kung pa detail ko na lang yung interior sa detailing shop like big berts?

[ILuvDetailing]

Interior detailing takes a lot of time and work... but its worth it if you do it yourself, however if you have time constraints bring it to the professionals.

Simple Green will set you back around 270++ more or less.

[chris_d]

Ic, another question, lets say if nagpadetail ako sa professional shops, pati ba yung sides ng doors and side ng trunk (where the water flows) nililinis nila? madami kasing water spots sa mga areas na yun dahil nde nalilinis...

[chain]

methinks theveed, Black Magic & the rest of Big Bert's Crew can best answer that...

BTW, daanan ko na Klasse mamya sa BB!

Kinapa ko yong ilalim no bolt or rematche pure adhisive alng talaga.

Went back to Mom's Reflections this week.

Now, if I could just squeeze some K Twins in between...

Hi guys! How have you been doin? Tagal ako di nakakadetail since I've been very busy at work. I had a couple of hours free this morning so I did a a few layers. I didn't have much time to wait in between layers but I liked the result.

This is 1xVanilla Moose under 2xTW Platinum Ultra Gloss Paste





TW PUG looks nice. I found it easy to apply and easy to remove. Not very slick though..
