Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

[monty_GTV]

Hi all,

What product can you recommend for maintaining plastic grills and chrome/plated parts? and is there any way to prevent headlights from yellowing? Thanks.

one good all around cleaner is the Klasse All In One. plastic trims, chrome, you can even polish your jewelries with it. you can clean your headlight with KAIO then as sir indiej mentioned, apply sealant to protect against UV rays.

May nakapagTry na dito na gumamit ng Wurth Silicone Spray?

Para siya sa mga plastic and rubber part sa tsikot. Pang lagay daw sa mga platic part sa exterior ng kotse. Parang Armor All yata to. Hindi kaya nakakaCrack ng plastic at rubber yung Silicone?

Diba sa gulong nakakacrack pag may silicone yung tire black.

Parang ganito sya:

Is there any particular reason why you want to use Wurth Silicone Spray? I have WD-40 Specialist Silicone Spray but I use it as lubricant.

Silicone Spray Lubricant & Silicone Grease | WD-40 Specialist

For detailing, I use Meguiar's Gold Class Trim Detailer for rubber and plastic parts including tires. Other products that you can try are Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant and Mothers Back-to-Black.

Bigay kasi bro ng dealer ko, freebies nila. Hindi ko nga ginagamit kasi hindi ko alam kung saan gagamitin yun pero last visit ko sa dealer, nagpaPMS ako. May nakita ako unit na irerelease nila, yung mga kulay itim na plastic part sa exterior eh ang kintab saka sa engine yung mga hose, wirings eh makintab din. Nung tinanong ko kung ano ang gamit nila, Silicone spray ang sinabi sakin.

Microtex Sunshield kasi ang gamit ko sa exterior part ng kotse, pero yung Silicone Spray mas maganda ang result, buhay na buhay yung pagka-itim ng plastic. Kaya natanong ko lang bro kung may masamang epekto kaya yung Silicone spray in the long run.

OT: nakita ko lang din pala sa Sunshield, Microtex Tireblack, Microtex Glaz No Squix, may silicone content din. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan based yung Silicone ng Wurth.

Kung may masamang epekto sa plastic yung Wurth Silicone Spray (ie., magcrack) eh hindi ko na lang siya itutuloy na gamitin, at kung kaya ng budget eh try ko bro yung Mothers Back-to-Black or Meguiars.

Thanks bro.

I see. The safest advise I could give is to use it as lubricant spray (for car and home use) na lang. When it comes to detailing rubber and plastic parts, silicone spray is not the first thing to come into my mind. Meron naman trim detailers intended for the job that you can use without having any doubt.

Thanks for the advice bro. Will keep that in mind. Nagamit ko na isang beses yung Silicone spray, hindi ko na lang ulit gagamitin sa sunod. Try ko na lang Mothers kung papasok sa budget.

Salamat ulit.

i tried the eagle one "nano wax"... base sa observation ko mas makunat siya keysa KSG...
the applicator foam pag tapos gamitin sa pag apply KSG, pag nilabhan ko, tangal na residue at wala n trace KSG.
the applicator foam pag tapos gamitin sa pag apply eagle one nano wax, pag nilabhan ko, hindi matangal residue at nandun pa din wax.

this is a better alternative dahil mas madali apply at i-buff yung eagle nano wax compared sa KSG.
hindi rin siya nag lilibag compared sa other waxes and sealants..

Interesting.

Kasama kaya doon yung daily CCD dusting and QD wipes?
Anyway, I hope the price is reasonable.

Yup, kasama na yun. Unlike washing your car, dusting and QD will not diminish your LSP. QD will actually help in maintaining your LSP.

Hi Red One, ask ko lang, is this available here in the Philippines? If yes, where? one last thing: can I apply pure Brazilian carnauba over this product?

Thanks in advance.

Pwede naman ang tubig galing deep well. As usual, two-bucket method ang gamitin mo sa pag-car wash. Tapos importante yung drying part. Don't let the water dry by itself. Punasan mo agad ng terry cloth or microfiber towel. Recommended sa shade ka mag-car wash, wag under the sun. Then last step is spray wax.

Tnx red one...

Ka tsikot ok lang b i wax ang bagong sasakyan, 3 days palang magmula ng ilabas sa casa?
