Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

[allenjo]

*sir allenjo, mas advantage nga yang malaki sir, less na magka swirl kasi di mo na kailangan na ipunas. itapal-tapal mo lang sa basa at ma-absorb na, di ka rin piga ng piga kasi malaki, kayang punasan at patuyuin buong car ng di ka nagpipiga. happy detailing!

sobrang sulit yung 36x24...was a little expensive for "basahan" but turned out to be sulit. sarap gamitin. happy detailing indeed sir. after matapos lahat, sarap umupo and titigan lang yung kotse.

Sayang boss...i believe a couple or 3 months ago, nag bogo sale sa AG na puro MF towels. Sakto din i had a relative there na papauwi ng pinas so ordered lots of them plus yung 36x24 cobra gold plush. Lagi napapagkamalan na tuwalya dito sa bahay sobra laking basahan hehehe.

oooooh...sayang i'm not really into detailing pa at that time. anyway, abang abang na lang

i actually have a microtex elite and a vikings waffle leave (from amazon) that gets the job done...for now hehehe

yes, masarap umupo at titigan kapag malinis at makintab ang sasakyan....huwag lang maulanan agad paglabas at maputikan

Textured plastic? Baka wala na. Have them both repainted para pantay yung dalawang fog trim.

Mahirap ayusin ang textured plastic bro, lalo na kung nagasgasan. You need to copy the texture kasi, not like paint na icocompound and ipopolish mo lang. Have them repainted nalang siguro.

hindi ba mabilis ma strip-off ang wax pag lagi umuulan?

Is there a curing time for Meguiars m21 (syntethic sealant) before applying a wax over it?

Is it advisable as well to do multiple layers of 476s then 845 over the last one?

Generally sealants need 24 hours of curing time before applying another layer of sealant or carnauba.

I've tried 2 layers of 476s, no noticeable change in durability though.

Also tried applying 476s and layered 845 above it after a day, again, no noticeable change in durability.

BTW, our car is 24/7 parked outside, rain or shine. That's why it gets contaminated easily with 'libag' or dusts formed from rain and baked in the sun.

Even on a fresh coat of 476s it is still hard to remove with just a regular wash.

So a single coat would suffice? what do you recommend sir? 476s or 845?

[ronki]

476s for durability, 845 for the ease of application, although madali lang naman talaga gamitin si 476s basta manipis pag apply, nakaka pagod lang kasi hindi siya kasing 'spreadable' gaya ni 845 kasi liquid na siya.

Ok lang naman mag double coat ng wax, para lang sa 2nd pass mo mas sure na nalagyan mo ng wax lahat ng area.

In terms of shine? malaki ba ang difference?

[ronki]

I can't really say based on my experience kasi silver yung kulay ng akin hehe...

Pero I think, si 845 ang mas may shine. Correct me if I'm wrong na lang. Sa silver kasi halos walang difference eh.

[timykoo]

Yan rin nabasa ko sir eh. 845 more shine but less durable. I'm in the midst of buying one pa lang kasi. Anyways, any recommended sellers of collinite waxes na mura around Q.C area?

[jhnkvn]

It's still best to get one from Jerome of Autobisyo or you can deposit and LBC it

Personally, it's hard to tell the shine of a 845 and a 476. It's not like I can show you a car with the wax on it and you'll accurately "get it correct". Pay more attention to prepping rather than the wax. Personally, the purpose of a wax for me is simply durability and protection... oh yeah, at magaan sa wallet
