Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

[Para Ordenance]

Mahal talagang investment ang mga detailing tools... Pero worth it naman sa pagod at pera lalo na kapag nakikita mo na maganda ang results.

Wala pa ba kasama backing plates kapag bumili ka ng PC? If so, then saan kaya nakakabili nun? Pati yung mga pads?

[jmpet626]

Worth it din mag invest ng tools malaki din natitipid ko kasi ako nag lang nag dedetail ng oto namin kesa pagawa mo sa mga shops. May kasamang isang polishing pad yung PC na may built in backing plate na din. Yung backing plate at pads meron sa Mothers HQ sa may Santolan.

[Para Ordenance]

Malayo pala ang bilihan ng mga pads. Taga province kasi ako eh kaya medyo limited ang sources at minsan lang makapunta ng metro manila.

[Para Ordenance]

Add lang ako question.

Saan din nakakabili ng Optimum products?

[Hardinero]

....edit...

[madkatz]

My Bf sells them, he used to be the distributor for the Philippines until some turn of unfortunate events... you could send me a PM if you are interested we are having a sale of OPT products for december

Guys, any suggestions for a good but cheap machine buffer? Pang wax application and buffing lang sana... Sobra na kasi akong napapagod thur hand waxing, baka pwede ako maglevel-up.

Okay ba yung Black and Decker KP600? Masyado kasi mahal yung Porter Cable.

If BnD KP600 cost P4K, I guess now is the best time to buy a PC 7424xp. It is now selling at $96.51 here in the US (around P4K excluding shipping to the Philippines).

you are better off using a cleaner wax with repeated light pressure movement rather than using that product, that product is not really intended to removed baked in watermarks

Yung spray detailer ng zymol na nasa blue bottle? Hindi siya pwedeng pang polish mas magiging successful ka pa sa zymol na cleaner wax.

Thanks guys. I'll be getting a cleaner wax to get the water spots.

By the way, I got a Microtex kit that came with my car when we bought it. One of the products is this...Is it abrasive to the paint?

[Chikselog]

^
Nope sir AFAIK it's not abrasive. Wax po siya.

That's one of the waxes with the best fillers. And maganda siyang i-partner sa NanoSLIQ. Insane shine!

Question:

Do I need to rewash ba talaga after claying??nung nagclay kasi ako dati hindi na ako nagrewash..pano ba malalaman kapag may residue ng clay??thanks!

and kelangan pa ba mag IPA after ng mothers step 2 before 476?

[Hardinero]

gurus, when applying wax by hand...by circular motion ba talaga dapat?
ako kasi sa hood eh circular minsan pa-horizontal...tas sa side panel eh horizontal talaga ako consistent..

for me kaSi, para madali yung pa-line na appllication...

mga paps, up ko lang yung question ko.

saka ok ba yung p21s?

It would be best to re-wash the car if not do a QD wipe to remove clay residue, if you have clay residue you would see them as dull parts of the paint that can be wiped off

nope you don't need to do IPA after Step 2 and before 476 since you are not putting on a sealant, both products have oils so bonding would not be an issue

[madkatz]

mga paps, up ko lang yung question ko.

saka ok ba yung p21s?

its a beauty wax and its known for being gone after 1 or 2 washes, overall even in terms of looks i would take 915 anytime

[indiej]

mga paps, up ko lang yung question ko.

straight with the direction of the wind for Everything since day one.

mga papi, up ko lang yung question ko regarding proper hand application of wax..yung pa-line ba or pa-circular motion..


*madkatz thanks on p21s review..

[Hardinero]

guys, share ko lang yung likeness on Optimum Instant Detailer (OID) ..ganda ng shine it gives on my ride...

i don't know if it compliment the 915 or it brings out the luster of 915 or maganda lang talaga ang OID...
