Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

[jed_015]

sir salamat din sa reply mo. paano ba ito, after car washing & drying eh apply one by one in 1 day? or there is an interval period between products?

kung hindi ako nagkakamali sir after nanoglos wait for 4 hours bago iapply yung carnauba wax.

[Hardinero]

mga paps, share ko lang yung experience ko mga lastyear na ito....nagpa-asphalt remove ko sa isang carwash na may poster ng mother...hindi ko alam kung kerosene ba or what yung ginamit...i suggest nga lang na lower part lang kasi nga takot ako...though sinu-suggest nila eh whole body...kaya lang nung after nila gawin isang side eh parang mas kumintab pa yung lower panel kesa sa upper body kaya sabi ko sige pa whole body na lang...

pero hindi ko sa kanila pina-wax bale sa bahay na ako nag-wax...hindi ko lang matandaan kung advance carwax or top coat yung ginamit ko pang wax..

pero i noticed na na naging black yung foam applicator ko...anu kaya yun? di kaya yung clear coat yun...

[indiej]

Hardinero, that's still dirt and not your clearcoat.

mga sirs,

i have an 8 month old innova and very rarely used due to nature of my work. actually 3000km pa lang yung ODO reading. until now since i bought it i have not tried applying wax to my ride. the usual thing i'm only doing is the normal car wash using turtle wash & wax.

i want to ask for some advice on what wax product and type should i use best for my innova. don't have much ideas regarding these detailing stuff.

hope someone can help and thanks in advance.

If you plan to invest in detailing.... then follow the post mentioned to use COllinite 915... the problem with collinite is that it is not Over the counter (OTC), you can buy one in the US or get it from sir jerome of autobisyo.com.

These product would gurantee quality protection and give your car the optimum shine possible...

However, if you plan to maintain in a mainstream way, first invest in good washing... get some microfiber wash mitts (microtex is awesome!) and a good drying MF cloth (microtex also has an MF towel specialized for drying, a bit expensive though). For shampoo, highly remonneded din a microtex shampoo, cheap and effecttive


Next... if you just plan to wax considering your budegt, then buy MOther's Step 3 carnauba (OTC - Blade store)... But if you want a full detailing regimen, then buy step 1, 2, 3 of Mother's... however, kung ma-aadict ka rin lang go for

Step 1 (or any cleaner waX)
Nano Glos (microtex) (to replace step 2)
Collinite product (915 for excellent shine, 476 or fleetwax for uber protection - to replace step 3)

These are ok for starters, then you can build your detailing kit from here.

wow sir salamat ng marami. nakuha na namin ung jazz taffeta white just this afternoon. grabe. umulan at pagpark ko ang dumi. pwede ko po ba gawin washmitt then water lang muna. wala muna car shampoo. just plain water and punas using washmitt? thanks.

Pwede but there's a higher chance na mag-inflict ka ng swirls while doing so. Siguro kahit dishwashing liquid muna pwede na yun since wala pa naman po kayong wax, para at least may sabon kayo. Dishwashing liquid removes wax kasi.

Don't use Tide or any other sabong panlaba and make sure to rinse the car properly before drying to avoid watermarks.

ah ganun po ba. makatingin na mamaya. sana mura lang mga panlinis . ask ko lang po about interior care naman. ano po ba recommended na panlinis naman? for my gadgets i use PLEDGE ung spray. nakalagay kasi dun sa bote pwede din sa interior ng auto. i think pwede naman po siguro to. but still any recommended products panglinis punas ng interior? thanks!

thank you very much for all who replied to my question....

no need to worry, the black thing making your applicator black is probably road film or just dirt

better if you use car shampoo so that there will be less friction between the dirt and the car's paint

yess sir! 4 hours curing time for waxes

150 petot lang po yung microtex car shampoo 1 liter na yun.

guys,

remember yung overspray ng santa fe ko na dapat ibabalik ko sa casa para ayusin nila for free?

eto na update.

i was convinced by other member ng SFCP na i big berts ko na lang and last saturday (kahapon) dinala ko don at ayun natanggal ang overspray for 1.2K optiguard 1 time application kasi may kasama na claying yung optiguard nila.

then bumili na rin ako sa kanila ng:
- carlack 68 nano systematic care - ito yung tulad ng AIO
- carlack 68 new paint - eto yung tulad ng SG

then napunta ko sm makati kasi may pinapabili wife ko don e dumaan na rin ako sa ace hardware at blade at bumili na rin ako ng:
- mothers reflection wax
- mothers reflection top coat
- mothers reflection quick detailer or QD

so eto yung dati kong weekly regimen:
1. microtex shampoo - using microtex mitt
2. microtex - microfiber for drying
3. microtex nano glos - then buff with microtex plush
4. meguiars carnauba wax - then buff with microtex plush
5. microtex nanosliq - then buff with microtex plush
tried switching 4 and 5 pero parehas lang ang result.

mag mix and match ako nito para mas gumanda ang looks...
i try ko this week ito:
- microtex shampoo with microtex mitt
- dry using mb
- aio ng carlack68
- sg ng carlack68
- microtex nano glos -
- topcoat ng mothers

then mix and match uli ako next week ng iba
- replace ko yung nano glos ng mothers reflection wax
- then nano sliq

then ganon uli next next week
- mothers reflection wax
- mothers reflection top coat...

gawin ko mix and match para makita kung ano mas effective sa looks at beading and water marks.

then next week bili ko ng NXT 22.0 wax and detailer...isama ko sa mix and match...

sabi nga pala ng big berts - gamitin daw ang QD pang tanggal ng aio and sg tama ba?

para san ba talaga gamit ng QD if use on its own.

need advice on ano maganda kong mix and match na products...

[indiej]

i experienced the same but i DIYed it and it was so easy and fulfilling. but i missed a spot on one of the rims. now it won't come off with claying. no matter.

next time instead of mother's qd, get Mother's claying kit. you can then clay whenever you want to restart.

QDs are used to make final touches to your detailing job. it's for cleaning minor contaminants. use gently with MF to avoid scratches. it also brings back the shine to your LastStepProduct.

you're doing great on your own. you may try half and half of a panel to compare your products&processes.

congrats sa SF mo.

imo, enough na yung carlack twins. Top up na lang ng LLS kada detailing session. Yung reflections twins kasi bagsak sa longevity sayang lang effort. Also may light cleaners yung Advanced car wax baka matanggal lang yung previous coat ng sealant so sayang yung previous effort.

thanks bro. ano yung lls?

so ibig sabihin di ko na rin gamitin yung microtex nano, microtex nano sliq, at carnauba with carlack twins?

hmm if that is so then mag alternate ako weekly with microtex twins, then another week yung mothers twins naman. so lalabas 2 weeks alternate then back to carlack twins set naman...

pano kaya kung mag alternate din ako ng nxt 2.0 twins?

[jmpet626]

Carlack Long Life Sealant. Yung Nano Systematic Care mga 2x a year lang yun since may Long Life sealant naman.

hmmm. so based sa products that i have...ano maganda weekly regimen ko for my SF. take note though that i dont have a covered garage sa bahay for the meantime while antay ko yung next year para sa papagawa kong new house.

[jmpet626]

Kung open parking use your Carlack LLS pag nag wax ka just follow proper curing time since siya yung pinaka durable na product. Especially sa bubong ng sta fe sa may roof rack area at sa may front doors sa may baba ng Side mirrors dun kasi naiipon yung mga watermarks sa sta fe namin.

another alternative is to use collinite 476S. proven to outlast practically every over-the-counter wax. It's useful to keep the klasse sealant alive
