Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

[rico_g]

one of the experiences with ONR was that it provides a *slightly* less thorough clean than the shampoo+washmitt combo. Over time, napapansin na nawawala yung beading... bumabalik pag shinampoo. but generally it's okay

and we don't use running water alone (with hand or MF) to remove dirt, wala kasi syang lubricity kaya mas prone na magka fine scratches yung auto...

+1 on this, never try to remove dirt with water alone. Ung MF washmitt ng microtex is designed to trap dirt naman to keep dirt away as to not rub on the paint finish, i'd say this plus shampoo is second best to using a foam cannon to loosen the dirt.

agree on this. my purpose of doing this -- wetting the car with water alone is to soften whatever dirt it has particularly on the running boards.

Medyo late, pero HAPPY NEW YEAR! Nag loloko internet ko sa bahay eh... ehe

[PSI]

ikaw, sa 'boy' ka ba maniniwala o sa mga detailing fanatics dito, hahaha.

nabiktima na ako dati ng sabi ng carwash boy, maganda daw yung gamit niya pero nung nakita ko rubber chamois and lumang basahan gamit. buti lumang kotse gamit pinahugas ko noon.

*watusi.... di na ba bumalik yung mga dumi sa roof mo? pa laminate kaya naten....

makinis padin! nagpark lang ako sa likod ng office para malayo sa mga nagpipintura. apir!

[watusi]

*watusi: hehe. pag nakita ko sa carwash na hindi 2 buckets, tapos sponge ang gamit, tapos naka rubber chamois... nakow. hindi ko talaga ipapawash auto namin doon. ang problema e parang bigberts at hillsborough lang ata yung hindi ganyan

haha! oo nga e, karamihan ng mga carwash hindi magganda tools

[Chikselog]

+1 on this! kaso sa 476 hindi ganun kalinis no? tindi nung nasa video eh!

dapat ata may gumawa na ng stickied Detailing Practice Guidelines

Ang alam ko meron na yung gawa ni sir theveed pero for rainy season lang yata.

99% ng carwash na napuntahan ko walang proper tools. Pag tinatamad ako mag hugas nagdadala na lang ako ng MF mitt, drying towel at grit guard. Additional tip na lang sa carwash boy.


Sarap pala mag detail ngayon walang ulan at hindi mainit!

Eto yung mga panahon na pwede buong kotse i-apply ang Collinite bago i-buff off.

Pag summer, per panel talaga dapat. Kundi, tuyo.

thanks for your comment. actually, since i dont have a pure carnauba yet (meaning no cleaners) what i did for the start of this year is this:
January 1:
- rinse it with running water and hand to remove dirt
- rinse it with running water and MF
- shampoo with microtex shampoo
- apply carlack aio
- buff it off (kasi nabasa ko yung above quote e na buff off ko na ang aio)
- appy carlack sealant
- buff it off after 1 hour

January 2:
- apply microtex nanoglos
- buff it off
- apply microtex nanosliq
- buff it off

mamya gabi iniisip ko pa lagyan ng mothers reflection top coat (no cleaners)...

i-post ko yung pic in a while yung kuha ko before ako pumasok sa office (after 8 hours after buffing off the nanosliq).

i decided na di na ko mag apply ng mothers reflection top coat so baka sa susunod na weekend ko na lang sya i-apply..

so eto na yung pics after ko matapos don sa January 1 to January 2 procedure ko...natanggal halos lahat ng watermarks dahil sa carlack twins at maganda talaga ang combination ng nanoglos+nanosliq sa black...

eto pa yung rest of the pics...

tama ka jed...dami mo talaga matutunan dito...

pero sa totoo lang maganda ang black na car kaso mabusisi ka dapat mag maintain kasi pangit pag may konting dumi lang e kitang kita na...

[jed_015]

mas mahirap sa akin sir..ang busisi ko nga..kahit ano naman gawin ko..wala ng nangyayari sa silver.. hahah!!


unlike sa black..talagang kitang kita mo yung difference..di ba??

[indiej]

are those spots near the reflection of the sun the metallic flakes in the paint? i've read how others would say "make the metallic flakes pop out" and i would think that they were just exaggerating. awesome shot.

good call on mother's Top Coat. Nano Sliq has a similar function.

Black cars... major PITA to maintain.... although rewarding... but it's really a freakin chore... pero grab ang ganda pag na-detail, astig.... pero mahirap tlga..

I'm havin a love-hate relationship with my black car.

[scharnhorst]

*dbhollanda: walang swirl marks o! nice detail sir!

hehe. hirap talaga ng black na kotse. pag nagdadrive ako at natutukan ng headlights yung isang itim na auto... more often than not puuuuuuuuuuro swirl marks talaga

kaya pag walang guhit guhit saludo talaga

[blue DX]

hi. speaking of black, enough na ba makatanggal ng surface scratches ang megs M84 coupled with wool pad or W-7000 on a makita 9227C rotary? what speed would be ideal for the polisher?

there are some stubborn scratches that won't come off. but i noticed that they get reduced after a number of passes. di ko lang tinuloy for fear of thinning the clear coat further. naka 4 to 5 section passes na.

any advice?

[watusi]

nice paint condition db!

are the scratches palpable? if yes, di na matatanggal ng buffing yun... sayang lang clearcoat mo sir if you continue to buff. Malaki ang cut ng wool pad...
