Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

tanong lang sa mga gurus...

di ba masama kung most of the time e ONR ang gamitin instead of wash the car with shampoo?

since i got the ONR last oct or nov last year ata e lagi ko na lang syang ginagamit tapos either QD or nanosliq apply ko dahil sa madalas na pag ulan ulan noon. nag shampoo lang uli ako last january 1 at napansin ko last Jan 1 nung nag shampoo ako e medyo hirap tuyuin ng MF parang kapal pa rin ng wax. kaya nag apply nako ng carlack twins para mag prep for wax uli...

if you use ONR you could probably just stretch you washing regimen up to 2 week before you re-wash, i generally would still recommend a proper wash down, nothings beats the clean it gives but for those with time contraints ONR is a good solution but not as a good as the good old fashion soap and bucket

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...

Great job! Nice shine

[madkatz]

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.

Hahaha love hate relationship hehe tell me about it, thats exactly how i felt when i first got my black car.

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?

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.

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.

you can apply Collinite after you let the sealant from Optiguard cure for 24 hours, i would recommend after waiting for 24 hours to apply 845 and reapply 2 weeks later and yes you can apply it every month even weekly

mga paps, gaano kaya katagal yung effect ng OID lets say hindi naman mauulanan o mababasa..

The shine and effect on looks would last until you re-wash your car.

[madkatz]

Yung mga mothers clay bar users gaano katagal yung clay niyo? Yung sakin parang lumambot na ng tuluyan at pag ni remold mo siya parang napupunit na yung clay. Gamit ko na lube is ONR na clay lube dilution.

mine is still alive till now and its been more than 2 years i think?

[madkatz]

up!
I'm also interested in getting ahold of OID.
and also..where can i find Optimum No Rinse?

You could contact my BF at +639277227554 if you are interested, he's no longer the sole distributor of OPT but is still a licensed reseller

[madkatz]

novice question again. for microtex mf plush/ultra plush, do you use the other side of the towel? for what? or just the side na may strands?

I use both sides, the shorter naps for polishes and removing those hard to remove wax stains and the softer side for generally removing waxes and sealants.

Akala ko siya yung nasa Team FD na nag bebenta din ng Optimum Products.

[EuroFD]

For those interested in ONR, the distributor is Ravi Amarnani. Contact him at 0917-3007284. You can directly contact him for individual or bulk orders. HTH.

[madkatz]

Yup this is true Ravi is now the new distributor for optimum products and we are currently working with him regarding the pricing and we are also authorized resellers of optimum products but prices are still the same but this time we're hoping to get the products more publicity and hopefully available in handyman hardwares soon,

mga bossing may tanong lang po ako. first time ko gumamit ng buffing machine.

normal lang ba na may dust na lumalabas if buffer gamit. napansin ko lang kasi pag hand buffing ginagawa ko wala naman pero nung sinubukan ko machine meron

tia

[indiej]

the bottomline is that your product is drying up hence the dust. there are products that tend to dust more than others.

thanks sir. pero yung comparison ko is the same product and same drying time.

what i did was to wax per panel (nanogloss), then buff by hand except one tinesting to yung buffing machine. kinakabahan tuloy ako that the dust could be clearcoat or paint na

Hi everyone! I'm new here and have been reading up today and I just got info overload. I just got a new car 2 months ago(my first) and would like to know how to take care of the paint. The only thing I did ever since I got it was to have my car washed weekly by a local carwash. I just noticed today that I have tons of swirls already and even some scratches.

thanks for taking time to answer this query. i've really been itching for a solution for those scratches.

how about if i use a w-7000 pad for a "milder" approach? would that drastically increase the number of section passes needed?

when you say heavy pressure, how heavy should it be? put the upper body weight on the polisher?

as for the filling option, what would you suggest that i use?

[arjay18]

WELCOME!!!!!

boss location ninyo po?

Salamat po sa welcome sir!

Location po? naku nasa extreme south na ata ako ng Pinas. Wala talaga akong makita mga detailing products dito. Maswerte na pag nakakita ng Turtle Wax Hard Shell dito.
