Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

[gearguru]

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

I suggest you get the 845. It's more user friendly. Mas gaganahan ka mag wax pag alam mong madali lang i apply and i buff off yung wax na nabili mo.

+1ako sa 845. Easy on easy off. Matibay pa. Then maintain with Nanosliq after every wash.

Namumuo nga lang 845. Immerse its bottle in warm water for a few minutes para matunaw ang wax. Then shake very well before using.

Hehe, just to go against the grain, go for 915! (Particularly if you have a darker car.)

Also, I know that a lot of people say that they don't see a difference between LSPs, and I won't dispute their word - but factors such as lighting conditions, the color of the car, and even individual differences in visual acuity can all play a part in whether you see those differences or not. In my case, I certainly feel that there is a difference, at least on my bright red Yaris, between the bright, mirror-like shine of Collinite 845, and, say, the deep, almost iridescent glow of Dodo Juice Rubbishboy's Juiced Edition I have on the car right now.

Thanks for the input guys! I would decide when i know the price. AFAIK, mas mahal 915 and less durable right?

btw, anybody who has jerome of autobisyo's number? i tried texting the number 09279652172, nagreply lang once tapos hindi na nagreply pa.

anybody who has tried buying from this person? legit ba siya?

915 is more durable than 845, though somewhat less than 476. It does, at least for me, look better than either 845 or 476, though.

i've been using 915 for a while now and i can honestly say i am very much satisfied using it on my black montero and black grandia. more on the wet look side and not the mirror like finish. even with my gray vios it looks good too. who says that its hard to bring the shine on a gray paint? try 915 and you will see.

have not tried collinite 845 insulator wax and 476 though, but both have good reviews. i definitely would like to try them soon. mahirap bili ng bili ng wax kasi di mo naman magamit lahat.

Sr monty, i agree with you. Have both 476 and 915. Very stark differences between both in terms of shine. Lamang talaga yung 915. The 476 i use on the other car na naka park sa labas. Durability wise, its the 476.... I believe its more suited to tropical climates like ours. I have gray cars by the way. The 915 is still durable though pero panalo pa din 476.

In terms of shine for gray cars, have p21s and noticed it gives a deep color effect after application more than the 915. Nag compare ako dati sa panel with 915 sa half portion. I wouldn't say na evident but for meticulous eyes mahahalata. Durability though leaves much to be desired though kaya sa mga collinites muna ako.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Microtex Stainz Guard is good. I'm currently using my old standby of Opti-Seal, since I ran out of the Stainz Guard.

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

Just haven't gotten around to using it, honestly - I also don't want to use it during the rainy season, with the reported poor durability.

I will attest to the poor durability sir...but it just looks great sa initial application and smells so good. One time, car was muddy and brought it to a nearby carwash for a hose down. After wash and m34, applied the wax dun sa carwash and yung mga wash boys nagtinginan anu daw yung mabangong lotion na pinupunas ko hahahaha.

[allenjo]

*timy...boss it gets addicting din...i mean collecting the waxes. Of the waxes i have, im only using 3 on a regular basis. And when i say regular, its like every 1 or 2 months before application. Kaya like Sir umi, decades na bago maubos. Baka may asawa na anak ko and may apo na ako di pa ubos to hahaha. But i see myself wanting to get more pero but will have to take a little more effort sa pag ipon like the SNH and the elusive swissvax concorso. Ipon ipon pa haaaay.

i'm using collinite 915 for the rainy season and i noticed that it doesnot prevent watermarks from forming on the roof and hood. i even applied nano slick after 12 hours to double the protection but still, watermarks are left on the hood and roof after raindroplets dryout. ano ba magaling than collinite 915 na LSD/wax that prevents watermarks (that is available locally)?
