What kind of vinegar are you using?

dehadista, salamat sa tips on waxing. will go as thin as possible. ayos nga yon eh, matipid! i really hope umabot yung synwax ko ng isang taon as theveed mentioned. i just came fr simex kanina and got them yellow applicator pads at only p73 each. nakakalula pala mga gamit nila don...panay isang gallon! i also asked about their nxt...halos 1500 whopping petots pala yun for 18 oz! sana nga bumili ako nung catsup dispenser nila don for my synwax, p12 lang.

ano mas ok gamitin to apply the moms cleaner wax, the megs applicator pad or the microtex suede?

patopig, welcome back bro! ayos sa tips ah...dami! mukhang naipon! thanks! totoo sabi mo re windshields ng mz3...kapit na kapit water marks. honestly, i never paid much attention to our windshields...its about time i do, kaya thanks for the tip on this! re waxes, moms reflections and synwax come highly recommended. pero ayos yang moms carnauba sa red ride mo for depth. puti tsikot ko kaya synwax na lang daw for shine. mahal nga yang mga synthetic waxes pero kung isang taon aabutin, sulit! got the EO WWS din for qd. been looking for a ccd pero wala akong makita. know where? how much? baka kasi mas mura ngayong tag-ulan kasi off season for the ccd...hehe. sir, tips naman dyan sa claying. thanks!

ILD, mukhang di tayo titigilan ng ulan. good luck na lang sa atin pag nag detail tayo bukas. sir, magkano bili mo sa nanowax?

ILD: Distilled vinegar ata. Ehehehe. yung clear. Basta kumuha na lang ako sa kitchen namin eh. hehehehe. Magkano kuha mo sa nanowax?

Dehadista: Yup. Ipon muna. Mejo madami na nagagastos sa detailing stuff. hehehe. I hope to see pics of your reflections project! Parang sabi nga sa waxforum yun yung best ng moms.

Stubby: try sending Vice of teamrage a PM. Baka may CCD pa sya. Dun ko sa kanya nakuha CCD ko. To make your wax last a long time you have to apply very thinly. Yung tipong halos di na makita. I believe that the rule when waxing is two thin applications is better than a thick one. (Tama ba masters?)

Stubby: When claying pala just do it panel per panel. What I do is clean the car first and dry. When you get a QD, you can dilute it with water. With EO Wet Wipe and Shine I diluted mine with water 1 is to 1.

If you get the moms clay bar. Cut it into 3 equal parts and keep the two 1/3 parts in an airtight container (para di tumigas). Pede ata ziploc.

Roll the 1/3 claybar into a ball using your palms and flatten it.

Spray a light mist of the diluted QD then lightly glide the clay on the wet paint. You do not need to apply pressure. Dun ka lang sa may QD and do not run the clay on paint that has not been sprayed. Yun. Daan daanan mo lang yung nasprayan mo ng QD for a few passes. If there are stubborn contaminants, you may need to do a few more passes on that area of the paint.

Wipe the QD with your MF. If you see your clay getting dark on one side, you can switch to the other side. When both sides get dark, roll it again with your palms, then strech it and roll again a few times then flatten it again for use.

Ingat lang pala sa pag hawak mo ng clay. Minsan kasi pag sobrang dulas ng QD at mejo napalakas wipe mo with clay, tumatalsik yung clay. If your clay falls to the ground, di na safe gamitin yun kasi baka may dumikit na na particles. Tapon na yun.

AFAIK nanowax is EO's sythetic wax right? I heard it has really good fillers.

**ILuvDetailing** · August 7th, 2005 12:11 AM

patopig 850 for the nanowax

**ILuvDetailing** · August 7th, 2005 12:26 AM

Yung MF na kasama ng Nanowax medyo manipis, good for interior use, but definitely not for paint.

**patopig** · August 7th, 2005 12:51 AM

ILD: Woot. Ok yung price! Hehehe. Kewl! Papost naman ng pics pagkagawa mo!

yang yung synthetic wax ng EO. ingat lang sa dispenser mga kapatid..

BTW, follow up with a QD session kasi like BM said, that wax attracts dust like crazy. and yes, maganda ang swirl filling capabilities nyan.

ano mas ok gamitin to apply the moms cleaner wax, the megs applicator pad or the microtex suede?

applicator pad.. you have to work in the cleaner wax and you can do this better with a pad. if you want, wrap your MF around that pad.
