Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

^^^ Try rubbing compound.

[jhnkvn]

1. Compounding is just too abrasive just to remove those "impurities" and too much abrasive friction is damaging to the paint.

2. If that's simply "libag" or dust accumulation (I drive a white car), your best bet is to get a dedicated cleaner like KAIO which would brighten the paint considerably. There's already a pretty visible difference on using a cleaner on a 4-month old white car pano na kung years yun difference!

3. You don't really make "kuskos" there because in most cases you're merely inducing hairline scatches - this is also the reason why we recommend people not to put pressure while shampooing the car.

4. Nanoglos has super light cleaners. You aren't supposed to go "whitening" the car using it. It's primary function is to act as a synthetic wax to protect the car rather than to clean it.

5. If you're serious in restoring the exterior, kindly do an entire detailing regimen depending on the car's paint condition. Wash -> Clay -> Compound/Polish -> Cleaner -> Wax/Sealant.

As mentioned, a paint cleaner will do the job - KAIO, Carlack NSC, Optimum Poli-Seal, or either of the step 1s from Mothers (Pre-Wax Cleaner/Pure Polish) or Meguiar's (Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner) will work.

How do you take good care of your car exterior expecially this rainy season?

Klasse AIO + SG + SG (yup, 2x) and wash often. Park indoors whenever possible at iwas baha.

It isn't practical to buy KAIO just to remove impurities since one "can" would last you 2-3 years. It's pretty pricey though at 2000php. A better option would be to simply avail of your suking detailer's services. This way, you can "clean" the paint every quarterly while you use Nanoglos on a DIY weekly maintenance basis.

Mga boss recommended niyo ba collinite insulator wax?

[EuroFD]

What's a good cleaner wax under P600?

[Retz]

I think Step 1 of Mothers should be at that price range.

[indiej]

Mother's/Meguiar's Step 1 are pre-wax cleaners. Hmmm, your post count is ten times mine already. Which section in the forums have you been frequently helping out the tsikoteers?

Paolo, just to help you out of swirls, keep the detailing tools free from dust/sand/dirt. They're better off on a clean surface/container and not on the floor. The oxidation removal may be attributed to your mf pad and arm power.

You got a lot of good advice from the previous posts.

Does anybody know where to source a medium strength clay bar for paolo under 500 PHp?

Always test the whole process you've formulated on a small area. When you're satisfied with the time and effort used to get your needed results from a particular method, then go for the whole car. SwirlX or the stronger ScratchX by starting out light handed. Don't over exert the rubbing, ever.

Wag Ken, tinignan ko weather app ko puro thunderstorms daw eh :naughty2:

[umi001]

Ubos na yaman ko kung kumuha pa ako opti-seal at collinite wax.

Thanks for the cheaper alternative... Can I use the 3M performance finish alternately?

1. Wash
2. 3M performance finish. Let cure for 24hrs?
3. Nanosliq+1:1 water solution

kapag nagdumi or after 1 week
4. Wash
5. OCW (Let cure ulit?)
6. Nanosliq+1:1 water solution

Bronze color ng car ko and 1 month pa lang... NanoGloss and NanoSliq combo ginamit ko sa loob ng 1 month.

I'd simplify things a little - you can go something like week 1 3M, week 2 NanoSliq, week 3 OCW, week 4 NanoSliq, then repeat. Heck, I'd have no problems going week 1 3M, week 2 and 3 Sliq, week 4 OCW, week 5 and 6 Sliq, then repeat - both the sealant and the wax should be durable enough for that.

You can get Carlack - which is the virtually the same product, rebranded (actually Klasse is the rebrand) - from Big Berts and some MC Home Depots. 2,600 for the twins.

Thanks for this. My car had some watermarks due to the carwash done by the CASA when I had a change oil.
I washed my car again using ONR. Then applied OCW while car is still wet and dried it. Tama ba itong process na ito?

I noticed that there were still some watermarks left. So I guess ONR and OCW cannot remove these. I applied nanogloss in the watermark and removed some of them. I am not sure if it removed it or just hide it.

I guess I need cleaner wax or pre-cleaner wax muna for these watermarks before applying OCW.

ONR washing doesn't leave a lot of solution on the panel, so it should be fine - though what you can do is do a first drying pass with one MF to get most of the water off the car, then spray OCW and finish drying afterwards.

ONR and OCW won't remove watermarks. NanoGlos has some cleaning ability, so it can remove some of it, but you're right - a proper cleaner wax or pre-wax cleaner would be a better option.
