Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

[PSI]

as always, Thank you ma'am for your very detailed inputs... (.."detailer" ka nga talaga ma'am )

I'm leaning towards those belt types for the sturdiness and parts availability, it will be used on 4 cars, 2 sedans, 1 suv and an L300 fb so I guess a belt type is more advisable...

...I already have a spare plastic drum so bawas narin sa gastos for the drum and space is not an issue. Now I just need to find where to source out some good belt type PW, the least expensive cyempre but with good enough quality.. bang for the buck ika nga.. any recommended brand? I'm thinking of looking around evangelista st. sa may raon area but medyo nagdadalawang isip ako these days kasi magpapasko and for sure dami tao and terrible ang traffic...

papz si doc bombit... binebenta niya yung PW niya... la pa ata 2mos yun ... 1 lang oto nuon... unahan na lag kayo hehehe!!

from what i read, after wash. cleaner wax then sealant. where does the swirlx come in, or is this not necessary anymore? also will this combo give my car the glazed look?

can anyone also give me info on nanoglos or nanosliq?

*auto99: you may want to do this:

1) wash
2) clay (if you feel the paint has some orange peel, get a sandwich bag and put your hands inside it and gently slide your hand on the surface, if you feel it to be rough, then you need to clay it first, then wash again)
3) step 1 - pre-wax cleaner
4) step 2 - sealant
5) step 3 - wax

or you may combine steps 1, 2 & 3 by using an AIO - All-In-One product such as a Cleaner Wax since your car is white color... HTH..

Mothers and Meguiar's have the "Cleaner Wax" - mostly available at Blade and select Ace Hardware... HTH...

swirlX is a swirl remover and it comes in before you wax a car.

nanoglos is a wax that acts like a sealant&glaze. nanosliq is a wax booster. it further smoothens over the wax applied.

most of them will fill in scratches and add a smooth layer over the paint to give you that glazed look.

without a picture, i can only advise you to go to a detailer for an initial reconditioning, then just maintain it weekly with a wax or cleaner wax.

after washing,
if no water stains to remove,
apply thinly mother's or meg's Step 3
else,
apply lightly turtle wax carnauba cleaner wax

yes, a clay kit is very useful for stuff that prompts you to scratch off with your fingernail.

just post a clear picture here next time of whatever paint condition you want to solve. help us help you.

morning after a recent, heavy, overnight rain
the car is untouched, not moved. also, the car is not used regularly (not a daily driver).

a few drops remained near the corners after an early morning run but i didn't take pictures so...

hood treatment:
sealant twins
476s left, 915 right

maintenance:
water stain edges and stains cleared by TWCCW on micromagic foam applicator by hand





here's a before pic taken mid September, right after the application of 915

Very impressive *indiej

Between 476 and 915, I can't really say which gives out better gloss (based on your pix). In my experience, I like the deepness and buttery feel of 845 better than 476. Nonetheless, your work is outstanding!!!

[indiej]

thanks. there's no reflection shot of the left side/476s. And i don't have a DSLR for a more accurate comparative shot. Technically, that's the beading of Turtle Wax CCW that so easily keeps the hood blemish free.

I'm in the process of finding proper lighting to capture blemishes for reality shots and to aid while polishing.

[indiej]

i wanted to show the water left after a heavy downpour,
but here's left side, 476s

[flakez]

my 476s is still beading after 6 weeks. hahaha. though yung sa may trunk wala na kasi hindi na inabot ng bubong sa garahe. hehehe.

ang kinis paps....galing..

good job pero may question ako...ano yung TWCCW?

[georgeD]

*dbhollanda: i bet it means Turtle Wax Carnauba Cleaner Wax...

[GulongGong]

good news sakin ito madam kasi i'm planning to buy another one para just in case nasa laundry yung isa ko eh may isa pa pwede gamitin...

tnx to master edwin, kasi before yung elite ko eh naka-tengga lang (disappointed kasi me nung una yun pala hindi ko lang alam yung tamang pag-gamit...iba parin pala yung actual mo nakikita kesa dun sa pina=nuod mo lang sa youtube...o maling mga youtube lang yun napanood ko..hehe)

sir may I ask pano ba ang tamang pag gamit sa microtex elite? kasi I just bought one kanina sa blade dahil narin sa info na binigay ni ma'am madkatz about it's price drop (thanks again ma'am madkatz )

ty bro...pde rin pala pangtanggal ng water marks ito...hmmm

[scharnhorst]

Started using Nanosliq again, ubos na OCW at Mother's FX spray wax ko. hehe.

missed that deep, dark shine it gives...

anybody's mastered on how to not make it streak?

you can fold it para mas madali gamitin

sa trunk/roof/hood, slide the cloth on the surface of the car, let its own weight drag it along.

sa sides, konting pressure lang, para lang lumapat yung elite sa gilid.
