Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

[GulongGong]

*rico g & *indiej - Thank you sirs for those great insights! now medyo nalinawan na ako... so, its 476 then OCW or sliq.

Now, with regards to sealants, gano kahirap mag apply ng sealants? as to what sir indiej stated, it is somewhat hard to apply, kailangan ba magpa sealant ako sa detailing shops like BB? or pwede ba DIY? is a polisher necessary or can it be done by hand or with just my kp600?

re; sa beading and sheeting naman, pano naging aesthetically good pag may beading? doesn't drops / beads of water becomes like a magnifying glass when hit by sunlight? hindi ba mas dangerous yun sa paint? unlike sa sheeting, mas konti ang natitirang water sa panels kaya mas "safer" in some ways??...

tama, tapos isunod mo na lang isa isa kada sunod mong hugas. pwede mo rin isunod isa isa kada 4-8 oras.

thanks! isunod isa-isa meaning after the collinite wait again for 4 hours then OCW naman then 4 hours again, then Sliq naman?

yes, if you want to use all those products.

alright! thanks! 1st time to do this kasi so lahat muna.. then I'll follow the sequence I've read here in this thread on how many times to apply those products from time to time..

it's as easy as anything to apply. the care, preparation, and the curing time is what's troublesome.

so, again, we're back to the list. we want to protect the clear coat, then we want to do that to the sealant, then to prolong the life of the expensive wax.

beauty and beholder. you're right. it all comes down to how much water is left on the paint. beads also roll off, but mostly when there's wind. i'm not sure if rain sheets off paint, unless a flow is coming from a rain gutter.

I'm sure NanoGloss has a curing time of 1 hour, but after that when you top with 476s, then OCW, then sliq, no more curing time... you can layer one product after the other IMHO...

I guess the only one with the curing time is the NanoGlos? how about the others? is there any waiting time after the products have been applied before buffing? like for the Sliq, it says in the back label that I need to buff it after 15 mins, correct me if I'm wrong.. thanks!

I myself didnt use OCW before as I was so addicted to beadin, but after doing some reading on beading vs sheeting, my eyes got opened with some good facts...

agree, less water spots when water sheets

Mas maganda mag apply ng sealant by machine mas consistent at even ang application pag machine. Modify mo na lang yung Kp600 mo to accept 6.5 inch Foam pads like Lake Country or Meguiars pads. Velcro and Super glue lang nag need mo
