Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

[monty_GTV]

ONR = Optimum No Rinse:
rinseless wash, can also be used as a clay lubricant and a cleaning QD, depending on the dilution.

OID/OGE = Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer:
quick detailer, mostly to add slickness and gloss, though it can also be used for light dust.

OCW = Optimum Car Wax:
spray wax; should only be used on a clean surface (not for clay lube or cleaning). Reasonably durable LSP, particularly given it's in spray form

thanks sir umi, naubos na kasi yung mothers lubricant na kasama ng clay ko kaya ginawa kong lube yung OCW dilute ko ng water and ok naman, madulas din pang clay

They're a small boutique UK manufacturer, making products that are focused on performance more so than cost. Nearly all their products smell good, have interesting marketing and labeling, and their waxes perform pretty well and look pretty good. Nice thing about them is they offer sample sizes for most of their waxes, so you can try several products without spending too much; makes them nice to collect too :D Yung ref, pakitang tao na lang yun in colder climates, but can be a necessity in hotter ones such as ours (the heat can cause some waxes to outgas and, for higher end products, liquify, changing the product composition and texture).

I have a couple of their products:

I also have some Lime Prime Lite, sample size Purple Haze Pro, glass jar of Rubbish Boy's Juiced Edition, and Born to be Mild. I'm also really interested in getting Orange Crush, Supernatural (in a wooden pot - pangarap na lang malamang ito), and Red Mist Tropical. So basically, they make some interesting products that perform well, though priced a bit higher than most.

i like! gusto ko rin magkaroon ng mga DJ's especially supernatural at purple haze (para sa black color). nakaka-adik ang mag collect ng wax, yun lang kapag marami na hindi mo naman magagamit lahat. i have still unopened jars and bottle of waxes like blackfire midnight sun, pinnacle souveran liquid wax, seldom used bilt hamber wax hahaha! satisfied na sa 915 at pinnacle souveran paste wax...

Sir monty...pareho tayo taste sa waxes...have the souveran paste and it smells so good. Minsan binubuksan ko lang sya para amuyin.

[jhnkvn]

Maybe someone wants to unload some of their waxes at a friendly price? I'm trying to get a pot of Dodo Juice SNH wax lately but I'll have to wait for Waxnerd's reply come morning. FYI, I also have a hard on with Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax and BFWD.

For their lineup, I absolutely love the SNH. Heck, I'll even get it over their Supernatural carnauba wax even though the Supernatural's higher priced.

What draws me to it? Insane beading shots and durability. Especially now that it's rainy season? I'm all-in for it.

*Umi
Meron ka ba extra pot ng SNH? Bilhin ko nalang sayo :naughty2:

[monty_GTV]

kung malapit ka lang ng pangasinan sir ay papatikimin kita

Sir monty...pareho tayo taste sa waxes...have the souveran paste and it smells so good. Minsan binubuksan ko lang sya para amuyin.

sir allenjo, mabango nga ang mga waxes, mostly fruity smell. meron pa ako nababasa na maganda sa mga darker colors, yung victoria red wax, medyo pricey nga lang

[ronki]

Meron akong super natural pero hindi hybrid, sample pot lang hehe...

Pero na kay sir ed, di pa niya ata nagagamit for a more 'deserving' car.

Pero tinry ko na yun sa vios ko, okay naman...hindi gaano ma appreciate kasi hindi masyadong prepped yung paint eh. hehe.

[nivraarvin]

Bakit parang hindi ninyo ginagalaw yung mga Souveran sirs? Kala ko highly praised sha sa AG forum.

I bought the paste and the liquid. Gamit ko yung liquid while yung paste is still intact. Plan on using this after hilamos nung isang kotse. For now inaamoy amoy ko lang muna hahaha.

[Retz]

meron sa Ace hardware ung Simoniz brand na car wash, car wax, glass cleaner, tyre cleaner etc... Php50-65 lang ang price. Inuubos na lang ang stocks.

yung souveran paste ay almost half jar na nagamit, i used it alternate sa 915 kaya matagal maubos. yung souveran liquid bottle ang di ko pa nabuksan although na try ko na gamitin ang souveran liquid wax, may small bottle kasi na gift si sir ED ng pinoydetailing sa akin at di pa rin ubos. i wax my car lang every 2 mos or kada uwi ko ng Pinas, in between that, minsan nag apply din ng wax si misis kapag nag washing at kapag sinisipag

isang addictive sa detailing eh yung pagbili ng waxes. gusto mo talaga bilhin lahat lalo yung mga concours waxes. you can have as many waxes as you want pero i'm sure nagiging collection na lang and most of the time di naman nagagamit. biggest factor na nakakaengganyo bumili ng ibat-ibang wax ay yung excitement kasi na malaman ang magiging resulta after na mai-apply mo, wet look ba siya or mirror like finish. but as sir jhnkvn always mentioned, walang naman makakapagsabi kung anong wax nakalagay sa car mo eh? kahit anong mahal pa ng wax na ginagamit mo, ang importante talaga maganda preparation mo sa paint surface from washing, claying to polishing para pag-apply mo ng wax ay maganda ang bonding at ma-maximize mo protection ng paint.

i think within this year di ko pa maubos ang can ko ng 915 at jar ng souveran kahit pa sa 3 kung sasakyan (montero/vios/grandia), mga isang taon pa siguro bago maubos but on my wishlists are dodo juice and victoria red

How do you guys clean and seal your windshield and other windows? Anong sealant gamit niyo? Stainz guard, rain x, paint sealant etc?

Got my OCW and OGE already from sir ravi. Shipment was delayed for a day but compensated it with a free microfiber.

[nivraarvin]

*timykoo

Don't use rainx. Mag sskip wiper blades mo, nag skip sakin before kahit brand new wipers ko.. I use paint sealant.

*monty_GTV

Haven't tried high end waxes/sealants, pero ma ttry ko next week yung souveran liquid. Tingnan ko kung malaki yung difference niya from what I have right now.

[timykoo]

Anong sealant gamit niyo boss and what cleaner do you use?

[timykoo]

Just realized na sobrang dami pala ng nabili kong OGE. anybody here who's interested to absorb half of it? Send me a pm na lang.

I use KAIO using polisher sa windshield and window glasses para mabilis. minsan by hand lang pero need a lot of effort to do it lalo kung may watermarks. sealant I use KSG.

you might notice some difference lalo na kung dark color ang car mo, say black. try it in your hood, one side is yung dati mong wax, the other is yung liquid souveran and compare. you can compare the shine (wet look ba o mirror like), gloss (deep gloss na tinatawag), slickness etc. I don't know kung you need to develop a keen eye to be able to see the difference, mahirap i describe eh lol! sa durability naman, I think di masyado durable ang liquid souveran pero ok lang, di ako magsasawang i-apply

(Assuming that's a gallon)
Depending on your location, want to swap 1/4 gallon (1/2 of the half you're offering) of your OID with 1/4 gallon of my ONR? 2013 na pero hindi ko pa rin maubos Price-wise, they don't differ much AFAIK.

*thread
As for the windshield, I don't put any actually. This is because for your wiper not to skip, preparation is needed to remove contaminants from the windshield (clay it) and improper use simply makes rainy days annoying (I had a skipping problem dati.. took a long time before nawala yun window rain repellant ko.. forgot which brand though).

As for cleaner, I'm really biased with KAIO. I really haven't found a direct "rival" for its price range and performance. I do use Collinite's cleaner at times but KAIO's still superior in overall cleaning ability.

Sealant... well, paiba iba na. Preferred sealant is KSG (obviously the partner of KAIO) but I mix it up from time to time. Preferred is KSG and Meguiar (still a rock solid choice).

I think the appeal of boutique waxes is that it gives you internal satisfaction deep down inside when you use it :naughty2: It's kinda like wearing a shirt with mother-of-pearl buttons instead of the usual plastic ones. It's a very minute "upgrade" and most people won't even bother to know but it gives the individual wearer the satisfaction of having nice buttons.

I SMSed waxnerd just a few days ago. It seems that they have stocks of Supernaturals at hand. However, Supernatural Hybrid waxes are due at the end of July (which I'll be waiting for). In the rainy season, I'll go for durability over better looks anytime!

[nivraarvin]

*timykoo KSG sa windshield. Worth it yang OGE, i bought the 32oz bottle, pero sana yung gallon nalang kinuha ko.


Tempted din ako mag try ng high end waxes pero I made a promise to myself na ubusin muna yung meron ako dito, will maybe take me 2-3 years bago maubos.

sir timykoo, concentrated ba yung OGE mo? pwede yan i-dilute sa water para maging instant detailer at gamiting clay lube. may PM ako sayo...
