Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

I use a Makita cordless blower. I normally use it as a yard blower but is perfect for drying up wet crevices. I find it practical as the rechargeable battery can be hot-swapped with my Makita cordless drill as well.

paps, ok ito ah...

Based on personal experience, the best cleaner/wax for me (prior to applying any Collinite finishing wax) is Collinite Liquid Sapphire SS216.
Hope this helps

This is the wax or combo (sapphire + 915) that i would want to try since 915 alone is parang nabibitin ako sa gloss nya...

how much ba sapphire?


comrades, i just bought vinegar in hypermarket yday eh sabi ni master dapat daw distilled.....eh hindi distilled yung nabili ko 1 galon pa man din..

saan ba nakakabili ng distilled na vinegar? yung mga mokong naman kasi dun sa store eh tinaasan pa ako ng kilay nung maghanap ako ng distilled vinegar...

question ulit mga comrades,
1) OID - does it leaves a haze or something when applied...diba pahid then let it dry lang no
need to buff na

2) Advance Reflections spray wax -- same question above...

kasi with OID i applied it kasi kagabi and natuwa nga ako sa gloss nya kaya lang this
morning parang may haze or something sa hood ko.

my take is hazing with OID usually arise from not diluting it enough. same as ONR. measure it while diluting.

hmmm so far we use OID at a stronger dilution sometimes even up to 50% more concentrated especially on shows and no streaking whatsoever, technique is just mist a little not too much and then wipe is ASAP, if you apply too much you would get streaking or as what indiej might have said you might be using it too concentrated

Hello Everyone!

Stoner's Invisible Glass is now available at True Value Outlets

for those who don't have time or doesn't have Glass Science Rain Clear on their windshield, this would be a great recommendation it gives very light beading for glass surfaces

however for those using Glass Science i would recommend using the Glass Science Spray product since it goes quite well with the Rain Clear Gel

I agree on this! Stoner is way better than Rain X. Glass Science is better than Stoner. Aquapel is better than Glass Science.

Salamat sa advice.

Regarding collonite pwede ba aio gawin ko cleaner wax tapos 417 ang isusunod ko?

Yung bug ang tar remover safe naman yun? Kasi most car wash and gas station puntahan ko puro gaas advice. Ok ba gaas or paranoid lang ako.

Yung stoners meron ba sila treatment for water spots or purely rain repellant lang?

yes you could use AIO followed by 476 if thats what you meant

the bug and tar remover is safe for paint just as long as you wash you car properly first before applying it

as with using kerosene its pretty safe if you ask me, just don't let it tell for like 30 minutes or so and just as long as you're carefull with rubber, otherwise on painted parts its very safe

its a cleaner and repellent, its meant to remove films and other gunky sticky contaminants on the paint and add a very light rain repellent, but sadly its not made for removing water spots, waterspots are usually mineral deposits etched into the paint, if you have those you might want to try using pure distilled vinegar on a small hand cotton towel and put some on the windshield and try to rub if off, if its still there you might need to use a more concentrated acid to remove them, and lastly in severe cases you might need to even use a ultra fine polish to remove them of course all depending on the state and severity of the watermarks, i suggest you try to bring it over one time if you guys have an EB, Elevo Watermark remover is a favorite among forumers here its found in nearly all hardware stores, but as with me and my BF we prefer something stronger to easily do the job.

Two thumbs up on this, if only aquapel was a lot less expensive hehe, one aquapel treatment could nearly get you one whole squeeze bottle of Rain Clear Gel for the price, so i just end up using Rain Clear more often but on those times i've tried Aquapel it lasted me more than half a year on a daily drive and over a year on our garage queen

I tried just an ordinary vinegar and it worked fine with me. It removed water stains off my windshield to my amazement. 1:1 vinegar to water is my mix.

I'm absolutely sure that distilled vinegar will work wonders but try first with what you have on a discreet part of your car and assess if you like the result.

Just my opinion
