Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

Pics of our Yaris, with KAIO and two coats of BFWD - first three shots are with my IXUS 800 point and shoot, around noontime, with bright sun; last two are with my Nokia C7, around 4 PM in the afternoon, overcast skies (the different cameras and lighting conditions account for the difference in the hue of the car).

woohoo panalo pre... pati si wifey katabi ko sabi hanep daw...

agree with doc, OGE on steroids.... haha.

Hehe, thanks

I really like how wet it looks, without being overly bright like 845 is. If it proves durable enough (a month to six weeks will be fine with me), then I might have found my go-to sealant

Para ngang ayokong gamitan ng kahit anong looks QD eh, para di magbago yung look :D

BTW, I've finally gotten my hands on a PCXP DA

Doc, hingi naman link on the test!

Lagyan mo na yan ng Collinite! Really like how this Mustang's layering (BFWD + 845): http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ite-845-a.html

Also, how's BFWD compared to... Autoglym? In addition (since might visit the local detailing shop), Mothers Gold or OCW as a wax?

A bit-off topic: I noticed my wiper starts streaking water everytime it rains. It's annoying me somewhat. I'm thinking in the past that this is due to my rain repellant on the windshield (it judders the wiper rin dati) but dapat by now wala na yun product sa windshield (no more water beading). Think I should have a glass detail or simply replace the wipers? (around 10 month old palang wipers)

Tried the AutoGlym Twins. Medyo mahirap i spread yung SRP at EGP compared sa klasse twins.

Practice lang sa spare panels sir sa Rotary. Sold my Black and Decker Rotary and saving up for a Makita. Laking time saver din kasi rotary.

try to sacrifice a little on your waxed body, try JOY...kasi ako poorman's pa rin ako pag nadumihan kasi ng microtex interior protectant (alternative trim/cowl protectant) yung windhield eto gawa ko spray joy...

Not sure if this is the one doc is referring to , but here's one medium-term test comparing 476 with SNH:

Hybrid LSP Test Part 1
Hybrid LSP Test Part 2
Hybrid LSP Test Part 3
Hybrid LSP Test Part 4
Hybrid LSP Test Part 5

Hmmm, I'm not sure I want to top the BFWD, and if I do, probably not with 845. I've found 845 to leave a brighter look to the paint than I'd prefer - probably be ok on black (which that Mustang would attest to) as it makes the surface very mirror-like, but on bright red, it lighten the shade, turning it a little pinkish - which I don't really care for. Also, it's only been a few days, but I think the BFWD is attracting less dust than either 845 or SNH - I'll keep an eye on this, though you probably won't be able to tell definitively without a side-by-side test on the same panel. Also want to check how durable the BFWD will be - managed to resist topping the SNH with anything for over five weeks before finally giving in and stripping it to apply the BFWD

I've not used AG HD (if that's what you're referring to) as of yet, so don't know how it compares. Also not used Mother's California Gold Carnauba, but I've read some experienced detailers recommend it for its looks. The OCW will probably be more durable though

Will probably do so eventually, but ipon muna for a DA. Since isa pa lang naman yung car na mine-maintain ko, the time isn't as big a factor yet

Parang gusto ko nung Flex na rotary, pero ang mahal talaga

Yep, eto yun. Actually di ko pa napapaayos - di lang sya kita from these shots. Tulad lang nung Tucson at Sportage mo, hehe

Talking about paint, any good paint shops? If possible not too expensive, though of course not at the expense of quality. I've read you've had work done at Hot Wheels - how much did it cost, and how do you rate their work? Lapit lang dito sa min eh.
