hindi pa naman malalim. di pa siya yung tipong naffeel na ng finger or lulubog na ang fingernail. they can't be felt but they can be seen. i'm assuming clearcoat scratches talaga.

then yeah... a wool pad with m84 might do it. pero matapang nga ang combination na yan. hehe

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...

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

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.

collinite 476 would last 3 months only if there's no rain... usually it lasts 3-4 weeks.

the other collinites are less durable than 476, but are still better than the other OTC waxes

We have the same garage situation. I dust one side of the car..then go to the other side. when i come back..there's dust already accumulating. it's a never ending cycle

I'm also using nanogloss and nanosliq on a black car.. great results

What I applied is Collinite 845. So it is safe if I apply Collinite 845 every month?
