Maiba naman. Wala kasi masyadong feedbacks about opticoat here sa pinas. Anybody here tried this already?

From what I read, you just availed of BB's optiguard program. It seems to me that you want to layer several products on top of the sealant that BB used.

You cant use Opticoat after a sealant.

QD's are QD's, it doesn't really enhance the gloss. I use my OID as a drying aid.

If you cant decide what wax to get, just get the most user friendly. Most detailing enthusiasts have several bottles of waxes/sealants in their arsenal, more often than not, the waxes/sealants that they frequently use the most, are the ones that are easy to apply, and easy to buff off.

Available na sir. I believe roadstar is one of the retailers. Medyo expensive sya considering QD lang vs. the other brands. Si sir umi bought this ata around 900 dito. Got mine sa AG para cheaper. The hype about this is true. Perfect for the rainy season.

Sir where is AG located and how much it cost? Do you have contact details? Thanks.

sir nivraarvin is right, all you need to have is a good carnauba based wax to preserve your BB optiguard program.

Yes boss. I was thinking of it after the optiguard program ends as well for other cars.

I'll settle for 915 then top with OCW then OGE. Cure time for 915 is 12-24 hrs right? Then how many hours again ang cure OCW? 30mins lang ba? I forgot where i read about it.

Thanks for the tip sir!

i think pwede na 4 hours sa 915 to apply the next layer. the main reason why you are letting it cure muna ay to allow time for the wax to bond with the paint. the more time na kumapit siya sa paint mas maganda kasi nga habol mo more protection on topped sa sealant mo. ok din mag-layering ng wax kung may enough time ka at sinisipag ka

yung OCW naman ay QD yan or quick detailer, meaning pangmadaliang pampakintab walang masyadong proteksiyon na ibibigay yan kung hindi madaliang kintab. say nagwashing ka, after washing tinatamad ka mag wax. spray ka lang ng QD at konting punas, presto! makintab na ulit sasakyan mo. walang curing time ang QD, spray on buff off lang yan.

ok na yang BB optiguard mo sir, well protected na ang paint surface mo. do not worry much on other detailing regimen. i think what you can do is kada after washing mo, apply ka lang ng carnauba based wax then buff mo, sure ma-maintain mo ang kintab niyan until next na punta mo ulit sa BB.

Hindi ba OGE ang qd sir and OCW is also good as LSP na din?

Okay sir!

[nivraarvin]

Okay sir!

Bro, after BB's, you should be happy na. Mababaliw ka lang niyan, madaming detailing products. Kahit turtle wax pa yan, if you use it the right way, ma mamaintain mo yung car mo for a long time.

[monty_GTV]

Okay sir!

ano ba ibig sabihin ng OGE sir? i do have OCW pero ginagamit ko lang as lubricant kapag nag clay ako. LSP's for me are waxes...

OID = OGE

Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer

Naguluhan din ako kung ano ba tamang tawag sakanila. OIDGE.

It's not something I can do. I enjoy picking and testing waxes kasi. Paminsan nga naiinis ako sa durability ng Klasse and Autoglym HD wax.. it's too long paminsan

OIC! thanks sir nivrarvin, yun pala yun

*sir timykoo, you should be happy na sa BB optiguard mo. dapat nga hayaan mo ng ganyan to gauge yung durability ng protection. kaya ka nga nagbayad ng mahal para protected na paint mo ng ilang buwan, less hassle na di ka pa mapapagod mamaya sa kalalagay mo ng kung anong mga LSP's matanggal pa sealant sayang lang ibinayad mo

Okaay sir! May ibang kotse din naman akong paglalagyan. Isa lang naman yung naka optiguard. Thanks for the inputs sir!

[allenjo]

mga ilang wash sir bago mawala ang Sonax? thanks.

Dun sa last application ko inabot sya mga 3 weeks. Naka 4 washes ako in between this time. Way much better from what i expected sa qd.

[allenjo]

Na curious lang ako mga sir, ano ba talaga meron sa Dodo Juice and the detailers seem to love collecting this especially yung mga european detailers? Contemplated getting the SNH but they cost an arm and a leg for a pot kaya pass muna. Grabe yung iba naka ref pa or naka hard case pa.

[umi001]

Strip and re-wax, para masaya :D Or use a different wax per panel

[umi001]

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

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.

Hey Umi! Have you heard about CarPro Hydro2 Touchless Silica Sealant? It looks interesting. Review & How-To: CarPro Hydro2 Touchless Silica Sealant - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum

Thanks sir umi. They do make catchy names for their products though. Natuwa ako dun sa Banana armour and setsuma rock nila. Wow meron ka pala nung SNH. Kamusta longevity sir?
