Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

Di kasi maganda experience ko sa SRP at EGP eh kala ko parang klasse twins performance pero hindi pala. Failed sa durability at ang hirap i apply.

Mas mahirap pa kesa sa Klasse i-apply? Parang nakakatakot naman yun

[jmpet626]

Yup parang yung AG twins hindi pang tropical climate. Yung SRP mabilis mag gum up sa pad at yung EGP mabilis mag flash off so hindi mo na kagad ma spread.

[Chikselog]

Bumili pa naman ako nung AG twins. :| Buti na lang hindi yung malaking bottles binili ko.

Yes, it's called beading - all waxes and sealants exhibit it, to a greater or lesser extent. A few larger shots (this is with Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid as my wax):

wow! it is a sight to behold I should say sir umi. the beading never happened to my car.

[Retz]

sir you should join in one of our detailing sessions and see this Yaris in person... wala ako masabi sa car ni umi. yan ang idol.

alagang downy ba?
ayos itong thread para ma engganyo people like me to know how to take good care of your car.

[Retz]

wax muna then polisher nman talaga di ba?ako after washing, turtle wax hard shell lang, tapos after curing, microtex nano gloss, then after curing nano gloss naman...so far, really satisfied with the results...sabi nga ng mga kapitbahay ko, ndi madapuan ng langaw kasi nadudulas sila pag dumapo...i think it depends also on your application to make the surface more glossy..

polish daw muna to give it the shine and pang alis sa mga swirl marks. pinaka last ung wax application to seal in the shine and protect the paint.

Has anyone tried or using the Formula 1 Carnauba Wax? Okay ba ito? It is much cheaper compared to brands like Meguires and Mothers.

[Retz]

Would certainly be interested in hearing your impressions

I applied Microtex Tire Black last sunday to the 3 wheels and my conventional tire black for the 4th wheel. Much shinier and glossier ung conventional na tire black compared sa Microtex. Will still observe and see which will fade first.

Not tried it, haven't heard that much about it either - try looking for reviews of Kit wax, which is the same product relabeled in the US (I did read one review which found it surprisingly good, though a bit difficult to use). If you're looking for a cheaper OTC wax, get the Turtle Wax Platinum Ultra Gloss - I've heard good things about it, read that it adds a great look to the paint. Durability is about standard for common OTC products (two to three weeks), but it is cheaper than the Megs or Moms - I think it's only 500 or so for the paste.

It's definitely not as shiny as the clear solvent-heavy tire blacks - it leaves more of a dark sheen with just a bit of gloss, which I actually prefer. Did you try adding a second application? That should add a bit more shine (though not to the same levels as the clear tire blacks). What I've found with Microtex is that as long as your tires don't get splattered with mud, even though the shine does fade after a while, they remain a nice, pleasant black - the tires don't whiten or brown (at least in the max time I've left them without redressing, which was all of three weeks).

Yes, i did apply a second coating. That is what i wanted to find out if the tires won't whiten or brown easily.
Btw, what is the technique of applying tire black? because it is hard to apply it on the bottom part of the wheel and kung ma apply man, hindi lahat ng wheel covered sa baba. I have seen an Eagle 1 Sponge that has a curve design especially made for applying tire black but it is quite pricey.

[umi001]

I just use a cheap car wash sponge I bought, and cut out a piece which I use to apply. You can cut it with a curve like the Eagle One tire wipes, so it conforms to the shape of the tire better.
