most of what was mentioned in that link was discussed here already. with regards to the items listed there, here's a few suggestions:

go for MicroFiber (try to get a few of these for buffing, product removal)
adequate WashMitts
applicator pads
tire and trim dressing (wag Tire Black)
a decent carshampoo (with no wax, pls.)
decent wax (Eagle1, Megs, Moms...)

that and a few other items would help. it would be of great help if you search this thread first.

1. ty sa staff ng bbpd specially kay messrs. theveed and blackmagic for helping me out with the detailing goodies.
2. tried the 3 step as soon as I got home, thus costing me 2 days (due to the curing) of my short vacation (exterior pa lang yun). sorry di ko nakunan ng pics ng before (kasi, madilim pa nung nag-umpisa ako) at ng after kasi umulan na...waaah! ganun ba talaga? kasama ng last na pahid ng wax ang ulan? buti na lang may silong...
3. ang mahal ng detailing session na yun, inabot ako ng 100k!!! hehe. biro lang, inaasar kasi ako ng relatives na kaya ako sinumpong ng cholecystolithiasis at na-laparoscopic cholecystectomy e nasobrahan ko sa pagaalaga sa aking "Diana" hehehe. kaya, sa Friday ulit, tutal extended na ang aking leave. hehehe. sana makunan ko na ng before and after na pics para maipaevaluate ko na sa mga gurus. :-D
sya, sensya na kung OT. :-P

B2Bomber: Pare, what do you mean by "due to curing" walang curing po involved sa mga nabili nyo... O baka you re-applied another LSP (last step product) the next day?

[B2Bomber]

O baka you re-applied another LSP (last step product) the next day?

any comments on TW's RainAway prod? my gf's sis seems to swear by it... just wondering if it's worth giving it a try...

[chain]

Rainhop (if there are still any available...) is one of the more durable ones during bad weather. not much in the looks department though.

but the beads, the beading is mesmerizing.

[ILuvDetailing]

mahal kasi ng Zaino hehe

[B2Bomber]

uh, so rainhop/zaino are pwede rin sa windshield?ang pagkakasabi sa akin kasi is yung rainaway is para sa glass...mali ba?

kapatid, maraming produkto ang zaino. merong iba-ibang applications para lang sa minor scratches, swirls, finishing spray (gloss spray after waxing) etc. meron din pang window. yung rainx (o rainaway ba ang tawag dian?) ay para sa glass para pag patak ng ulan di masyadong mag fog windows mo.

...yung rainx (o rainaway ba ang tawag dian?) ay para sa glass para pag patak ng ulan di masyadong mag fog windows mo.

actually, Rain X is used for actual rain repelling by causing it to bead up and roll off the surface. the fog treatment is a different product.

decided not to put Rain X on my ride right now kahit medyo rainy season na. causes wiper judder on my ride. Id rather polish it with a good glass polisher.

Hope BB comes up with their new rainy dar promos though.
