Masakit sa braso yan at sa likod.

Kung gusto mo ng practice kuha ka ng surplus na pinto sa Evangelista.

isipin mo na lang ikaw si karate kid
ung sakit ng braso oks lang sakin pero ung sa likod talaga iniinda ko

sino pala may extrang clay bar dito?

If then so, wala naman problema in doing it by hand. Just because it's less effective doesn't mean you can't. After all, a machine is like a super-fast hand circle action

thanx mga sir, am thingking doing it by machine on a lowest speed para safe cguro pero try ko muna by hands sa ngayun practice ko muna yung machine kahit sa tangke ng motor ko hehehe

ganun ba sir, hahaha lalo pala eh SUV yun medyo malake2 ang sasakyan na gagawin ko baka buong katawan ko sumakit bago matapos yung buong step from washing, claying, polish and wax

[the_wildthing]

If you don't need to take your car out daily, you can spread it over several days. That's what I do kasi matanda na ako at sumasakit ang katawan ko hehe. Wash on day 1. Clay on day 2. Minsan nga 2 days ang clay, left side then right side or front then back. Polish on day 3 or 4. Two days din. Tapos wax. Pero meron akong random orbital for application ng polish at wax. Yung buff off ang by hand.

Problema kasi sa SUV or van sobrang laki, kailangan may kasama ka talaga. Pag small car ok lang.

A polisher is a good investment kung talagang seryoso ka.

Yes sir gusto ko po ksi ako mismo mgdetail for some advantages like mkkatipid ako but most of all enjoy ka sa ginagawa mo, worry ko lng sa machine since newbie nga bka masira ko nman ang paint hehe

If then so, stick to hand application. Machines are over-rated. I'm an avid detailer but I don't have a porter cable or rotary on my own. It's not like I do paint correction every week right? 4 times a year lang naman ako nag-paint correct.. not everyday. And if I don't use it often, IMO... sayang lang ang machine.

I generally prefer Meguiars over Mothers. Their lineup is way more diverse from their consumer lineup to their professional lineup. Besides, mas "kilala" talaga sila versus Mothers.

Not that I want to diss Mothers.. although ingit lang ako sa NSX ng mayari ng Mothers Philippines

Ako rin sir meguiars all the way. kahit na ung begginers line-up nila okay sa alright.

Just to offer a contrasting viewpoint on machine ownership - I own a Meg's DA, along with the requisite pads and polishes. All told, I spent around $300 on it - that's about 12,000 pesos (though you can easily get a machine and sufficient pads for around $200). However, I am planning on using these for a long while - I can easily see them going five years, maybe more. Big Bert's offers machine polishing for around 2.3k - at four one-step polishes a year, you're talking about just 5 instances, or a year and a quarter, and you've already broken even in my case. If you have more than one car, then that period goes down pretty drastically.

That's without taking into consideration the other uses for the machine, such as for your pre-wax cleaner application (every four to six weeks), or being able to do spot polishing, on a section or a panel (which I've done a few times). So here's my take - if you're willing to take the time to polish yourself (which admittedly is not the case for everyone), and are rather OC about swirls and scratches, it's worth considering getting a DA, especially if you have more than one car to maintain.

Mura lang yung Megs dapat sir medyo mataas lang patong ng Distributor dito.

oo nga. humingi ako ng pricelist dati, ung DA pa lang Php16K na

[jmpet626]

Yung mga distributor naman ng collinite, dodo juice, Optimum at Mothers na bebenta nila ng SRP or a little bit more than SRP. Sa Megs X3 ng Online SRP yung presyo nila. Atakihin nga ko sa puso nung nag tanong ako sakanila ng 105/205 at Hyperdressing.

after the scratch/swirl remover, any finishing polish will do. kung binili mo yung xmt intermediate, dapat binili mo na rin yung partner niya na xmt ultra fine swirl remover na pang finishing polish. papasok ang klasse aio after mo mag finishing polish, then pwede ka na mag collinite.

pwede mo rin i-test mauna klasse aio and see if kaya niya maalis yung swirls/minor scratches. if yes, then tipid ka na sa oras kasi 1 step ka na lang, after ng aio, wax na. less sa pagod...

Thanks for the opinion. I appreciate it so much. Try ko sa aio muna.. Bad trip na biker na yun. Buti mababaw lang.

If your on my shoe. What will you choose? Xmt of wolfgang glaze and swirl remover? Or ibang brand? If meguiars anong scratch remover at polish dapat??
