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.

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.

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

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

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...
