Oo nga eh, black pa man din sakin. Kaya tuloy binabasa ko ulit. Plush ang gamit ko. Pano kaya masosolusyonan to?

Di na ko gumagamit ng Ultra Plush or plush sa pang buffoff ng wax. Gamit ko na lang yung Yellow MF's from SNR na naka 36 pack.

[Hardinero]

don't, cos you'll still see them. clay and clay or try kerosene???

in washing MF, detergent first, vinegar last, cos it helps rinse detergents among other things. varying methods are ok, just don't test on a grand scale. whatever works.

applicator pads, MF with wax, same warm soak, wash and rinse regimen.

thanks for the headsup paps..

natanggal ko na siya bro...sinunod ko yung payo mo na hindi masyado lubricated yung clay..yun mabilis kumapit yung mga lisa..

dun naman sa vinegar on MF, tuwang tuwang ako dito kasi balik lambot and yung pagka fuschia nung mga MF ko....bili na lang ako ng distilled vinegar sa pasukan...

tomorrow mag 3rd coat ako ng 915...(nakaka virus itong thread na ito)...
pero ok na ito para ma-divert yun attention ko from getting CF hood and intake...waaa...pera pera...

Once or twice a year, depende sa condition at contaminants sa paint. QD po ginagamit na lube dun preferably ONR clay lube dilution or zymol QD yung blue pwede na yun. Pwede rin yung Showtime na kasama sa Moms clay kit kaso sayang naman. Mahal ng Showtime eh hehe.

thanks chikselog. so ibig sabihin e reusable sya. akala ko kasi e one time use then tapon then pag mag clay ka uli e bili uli.

ang qd ko lang is yung mothers pde na kaya yun as lube for clay?

Pwede nyo rin po hatiin sa dalawa yung clay para tipid hehe. That half clay bar can clay more or less 5 cars but it also depends kung sobra nang daming contaminants na nakuha ng clay.

Not sure kung pwede po yung Mothers nyo, spray wax po kasi yun eh. Anyway yung Zymol naman 150 pesos lang yun so you can consider that one.

HI. i'm still a newbie in this detailing so i have a few questions.

I was using 3M Auto scratch remover the past few months to remove very fine hair line scratch in the paint of my car. It did remove the scratch but left some very very very fine swirls due to the swirlings I did using the scratch remover. I also noticed that the area is not shiny anymore, even if after buffing - waxing -and buffing it again.

I've made some search here and come across some of the informations that GLAZE should hide those swirls and provide a wet look shine. Is GLAZE the same with POLISH? Which is better to use for a 4 month old car? Does GLAZE substitute the clearcoat that has been removed by the scratch remover?

What should I do next time after using 3m Auto Scratch Remover on some areas of the car where it has very fine scratches? or should I ommit using this product all the time when removing fine scratches?

What regimen should i follow to have a wet look shine all the time, and also have a lasting protection on the paint?

Sorry if I asked too much.
TIA.

if that's the case you should hit it with a less aggressive polishing product for the fine swirls. what color is your car? what did you use to apply 3mASR?

it hides because it fills the swirls and scratches leaving you with an extra slick, shiny look. a polish abrades some of the clearcoat. use a glaze if scratch removal is getting a bit involved. you don't wanna dig it out and find yourself on the base coat.

What should I do next time after using 3m Auto Scratch Remover on some areas of the car where it has very fine scratches? or should I ommit using this product all the time when removing fine scratches?

your "very fine scratches" could be swirls. Swirlx is better suited for that and final corrections.
take pictures of a scratch. work 3mASR with an MF/foam applicator pad til it clears or almost dries. repeat til the scratch is corrected. take pictures of that area showing whatever remaining blemish you see. you should omit it if it really doesn't work for you.

What regimen should i follow to have a wet look shine all the time, and also have a lasting protection on the paint?

the short of it is a weekly wash, monthly wax, quarterly seal, clay and glaze or polish when you start.

you should do some backreading and get to the bottom of the steps and processes in detailing. you'll get a better understanding of what product to use.

then there's product specific knowledge, which is easier to read about in its own thread in certain detailing forums. then use the product and tell us how you made it work. or failed.
