at last, opticoat (OC) is now available for the public, that and Cquartz are now at Autogeek.

didn't have any issues applying Aquartz and Cquartz has better ease of application. overall, a win win for the DIY detailers :thumbup:

Ah, I've been reading about this - reviews on durability have been very impressive. Still wary about application - wouldn't want to make a mistake there, haha

well they should just put it out there and if it's not up to snuff, then we won't patronize it. just saying.

as for me, i didn't find any snag in the application. 1 square foot at a time. patience, and if their claims of added hardness and water spot prevention are true, then it's more time and effort saved.

sir, may alam kayo saan nagpapagawa ng re-paint? my bumper has some chipped paints (wla naman dent) caused by motorcycle, how much is the estimate and ung shop sana malapit lng s QC. thanks.

Yes that's ok. Just make sure you give the Nanoglos time to cure prior to applying the 915, and same with the 915 before using your OGE. About four hours would suffice in both cases. The 915 is already one of the most durable waxes out there, should be good for two months, maybe more, in the summer.

I'm going to have 7 panels repainted on my car due to vandalism. ouchie. (all doors, hood, trunk, and 1 rear fender).
I have 2 questions.

1. I want to ask them to put an extra layer of clear coat on the repainted panels for added protection. Would this be a good idea?

2. Since the paint will be new when it comes out, are there any products I can use to protect the new paint?

[indiej]

ouchies.

1. yes it would be.

2. use 3m IHG for a bit of maintenance and shine if you feel the need, otherwise wash with plain car shampoo and wait for the CC manufacturer's recommended curing time.

If you can get it, you can also use Optimum Car Wax on new paint - Optimum have confirmed that it is safe for use on new paint.

Hello I have talked to the developer of optimum and yes you can use OCW for freshly painted cars, it will not disturb the curing process and glazes do offer protection but no where what real waxes can offer

mga detailing gurus

comment naman po sa regimen ko if any suggestions or tama ba to ginawa ko?

* wash (polyglaze shampoo and wash mitt)
* hose down the shampoo
* dry using the yellow synthetic chamois
* use mother's carnauba cleaner wax per panel
* buff manually using a MF towel per panel din
* apply microtex Nanoglos (damp ba dapat applicator pad?)per panel then buff again using a Plush MF (green color ) wala na ba waiting time to?after ko apply then buff agad? yun kasi gawa ko e.
*wait 6 hrs then apply a Turtle wax na yung kulay green na liquid (hard shell ba tawag dun?bigay lang kasi to e hehehe)then buff also per panel application.

medyo duda kasi ko dun sa Turtle wax dahil balak ko sana e collinite na 476 kaso ipon muna ko e .

all suggestions and comments are most welcome hehehehe trying hard na detailer kasi ko e
