Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

Naku, di ako bibili dito - masyadong mahal! I'll buy the 110 volts version from the US, then ship over here, along with the pads - mas sulit pa din kung ganun, even with shipping and AVR, hehe

Also going to use Ultimate Compound and Swirl-X to start with - already have them, in fact. I'm still deciding if I want to get a dedicated finishing polish, or if Poli-Seal will suffice for that role.

Baka di na muna ako mag-rotary - makikihiram na lang ako sa inyo, hehehe

Akala ko kukunin mo yung local na G220... 13k wala pang pads... puro ginto daw sa loob. hehehe

If I need to do some more correction I might opt for the V 1.0 of the optimum compound and polish... ang mahal nung v2.0

may skil na 5k lang! with a 7 in backing plate... problema lang yung availability ng pads

I'll probably get 8oz of either M105 or the Optimum Compound when I get my DA - hopefully I won't need it, but just in case. If ever gusto mong pasama, just PM me

Meron naman pads dito - 7 inch yung sa Meg eh. Presyong ginto lang nga nanaman

Guys san po ba nakakabili ng Klasse/Carlack Twins aside from BB?

speaking of this, sakit sa ulo kakahanap ng mga seller ng DA online... yung sa AG po ba ok mga package deals nila sa mga DA? yung with pads.

ano issue with the Meg's DA here? Bakit pinull-out?

Parang ako nalang ata sa PD walang makina a... stone age method parin ako...

Try Auto Detailing Solutions - I like their kits better than AG's kits (sa AG kasi either 6.5 pads, or CCS pads, and usually both! ). They have this PCXP kit, which has the PCXP, a 5-inch backing plate, and seven flat 5.5 inch Buff and Shine pads (comparable to LC). Get the yellow pads for cutting, green pads for polishing, and black pads for finishing, glazing and LSP application. They also have a great price on 4-inch pads, less than half of what AG sells the LC 4-inch spot buffs.

Not with DAs here - the issue was with the DAs overseas, and the way the copper wire inside the power cord would sometimes break, so the tool wouldn't start. It's not a difficult problem to fix if it should occur, but they have apparently fixed the issue already (they pulled out all stock from all stores for about a month or two, and just recently re-released the machine). The DAs here, nung nag-EB, di gumagana yung 1-3 na speed setting, labo!

Pareho tayong nasa stone-age pa - di-kamay pa din ako sa lahat. Plano ko talaga hintayin yung Black Friday and Christmas sales, and to buy then.

thank you for posting the link btw. mas prefer ko talaga DA over the rotary. well obviously for a novice like me. yung mga Makita na rotary nabigatan ako gamitin parang nanghina tuloy braso ko, halatang walang exercise. i also noticed ang mga rotary talagang pure power pala mga yan.

I'm of the same mind - while I don't doubt that you can cut faster with a rotary, it does take more time to learn; and for someone who's just an enthusiast like myself, I won't be detailing enough cars often enough to gain that experience, nor would the time-savings be as crucial. And yes, mabigat nga yung Makita, hehe

had that dilemma several weeks ago... DA vs. Rotary.

Chose the DA due to 1) user-friendliness, 2) versatility.

I've seen the Carlack twins at MC Home Depot at the Fort - might be worth going to other MC Home Depots and checking if they have it.

Same reasoning for me saving up for the DA instead of a rotary right now
