Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

[dbhollanda]

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??

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.

*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

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?

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...

to answer you question yes m84 with a wool pad is enough to remove scratches that are not felt by hand, actually its more than enough. 4 to 5 Sections passes are quite normal, sometimes we even go up to 10 sections passes but this depends on skill level and pressure, of course with those 10 section passes the first 3 has heavy pressure but the later ones are just for burnishing the paint slowly easing on the pressure, but i would suggest you try to fill it and save your clear coat.

meron pa ring swirl marks yan very fine lang talaga at naalagaan ko ng nanoglos...bilib ako sa carlack twins kasi kaya nyang matanggal ang water marks...tapos sobra bilib ko sa nano twins ma fill up nya talaga ang swirls...

Guys how often should I apply Collinite in my car considering it is enrolled in Big Berts Optiguard Program? Can I also apply Collinite every 3 months simultaneous to the Optiguard maintenance? Or is 3 months overkill? Thank you.

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.

actually ganyan talaga ang eom paint na black ng santa fe na pag natapan ng ilaw e may metallic flakes nga. maganda sya tignan in person pag lumalabas ang metallic flakes na yan pag tinamaan ng sinag ng araw...na kahit napagod ka sa kaka detail e feeling good ka sa output ng detailing mo hehehe...
