Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 2]

it's an All-In-One product, a shortcut to Steps 1 (pre-wax cleaner), 2 (polisher/sealant) and 3 (wax, either carnauba, synthetic or hybrid), great for light-color vehicles...

[EuroFD]

Good job, ildiej. So what's your conclusion from the wax comparo?

[Hardinero]

you can fold it para mas madali gamitin

sa trunk/roof/hood, slide the cloth on the surface of the car, let its own weight drag it along.

sa sides, konting pressure lang, para lang lumapat yung elite sa gilid.

*GulongGong paps, parang ganito rin yung pag gamit ko..

kaya lang sakin eh sa hood and trunk ginagamitan ko pa rin ng light pressure..

tas yung chamois ko pang front,rear and side skirt ko na lang ginagamit..

kaya lang there are times talaga na medyo nakakatamad mag carwash like tonight kakauwi ko lang kasi grabe traffic eh 2 days na siyang madumi..hirap din kasi makahanap na ok ng carwash shop..

[air23]

sir indiej, ok ba yung turtle wax cleaner wax? how often do you use it? pwede ba yun sa mga lights swirls and scratches? mas ok ba siya compared to mothers or megs cleaner wax?

[madkatz]

Not indiej but i'll try to answer that

TW cleaner wax is a little more aggressive compared to its mothers and megs counterpart based on experience but being slightly more aggressive and abrasive may be good in some instance like what you've mentioned scratches, this cleaner wax can remove microfine scratches and is actually quite effective on watermarks due to the abrasives present, so basically to answer your question whether which one is better would depend on what problem you are looking to solve, for tougher defects and stains TW cleaner wax is better but for lighter stains mothers and megs would be better based on experience, but this suggestion revolves around the principle of saving as much clear coat as possible and avoiding using unnecessary abrasives to remove stains, as they saying goes start with the least aggressive method

*GulongGong paps, correct ko lang si yung sa hood and trunk...

agree with scharnhorst "slide the cloth on the surface of the car, let its own weight drag it along."

pero bro, before mo gawin yun. after mo kasi i-host down yun auto eh masyadong matubig yung kotse kaya para mapa-bilis yung drying time mo and para isang glide lang ng elite....IMO, patuluan o padaluyan mo muna ng tubig using the host yung roof,trunk and hood...para kunting tubig na lang matira...

Good job, ildiej. So what's your conclusion from the wax comparo?

conclusion:

thanks. it's hard to see any difference in depth or reflection in the light colored car. maybe I change to habanero red in a future washover

[indiej]

sir indiej, ok ba yung turtle wax cleaner wax? how often do you use it? pwede ba yun sa mga lights swirls and scratches? mas ok ba siya compared to mothers or megs cleaner wax?

I use it whenever I see water stains after drying the car. I make a few light passes over the stains and stain edges until they're gone. Then I buff it clean.

I don't use it for swirls and scratches. I don't have either M's cleaner waxes but i've read from the pioneers of the DTfN that they too work nicely.

*indiej: Great job on the car BTW, nothing beats a nice silver that looks spanking clean!

thanks. people would also say it's gold, or brown, or White in brightest day.

It is not without marring and swirls and scratches (ss?) from trying different techniques. I'll polish back to zero soon as I install my choice of proper overhead and side lights.

[air23]

thanks madkatz and indiej.

Started using Nanosliq again, ubos na OCW at Mother's FX spray wax ko. hehe.

missed that deep, dark shine it gives...

anybody's mastered on how to not make it streak?

UP for this question... someone answered this question before... i was told to make sure I use a clean MF cloth, others say to spray very thin coats.... but up to now, i still get streaks...

[EuroFD]

It's hard to avoid streaks when using spray waxes and touch up liquid detailers. IME, it's best to wipe it dry with a clean, damp MF towel.

[jmpet626]

sa OCW wala naman ako na experiece na streaking. I use the dry side of the mf towel para i buff off yung excess wax

[rico_g]

same here... OCW does not streak... it only deos when you put on too much... ung SLiq lang talaga...

[watusi]

is it ok if i dont buff off the moisture from nano-sliq?

[tribal]

may difference po ba sa shine kung 476 then nano sliq or nanoglos, 476 then nanosliq?

planning to buy kasi bukas ng nano glos pero kung same effect lang ng shine e di nako bibili...

medium silver altis po pala yung color

[scharnhorst]

tried mother's plastic polish on the headunit screen of our mazda 2. dumami lang scratches

tatakpan ko nalang ng anti-glare screenguard para mahide nalang sila

is it ok if i dont buff off the moisture from nano-sliq?

it's very noticeable pag hindi binuff...
