Actually kakatapos ko lang Optiguard. I think ang inapply nila doon is Carlack. Pero naghahanap ako ng wax na I can apply once a month. Try ko siguro Collinite 845.

Is it safe/okay na ipatong ang collinite sa Carlack?

yes they use carlack for the optiguard and yes you can apply collinite every month, even every week if you want. if you are planning on waxing monthly then i would suggest 476 so that you get more than enough protection, but for ease of use definitely get the 845 instead.

As far as i know there's nobody here that sells Zaino, we used to import it before and tried to sell it even at marginal prices and people still find them very expensive so we stopped, right now we're also on the look out for some zaino products but we still can't find any, so i guess im stuck till december to have my next batches of their sealants

Thank you very much, mam madkatz. You are SUPER helpful!

It looks like I can't have my car Zainoed in the near future then. So I'm looking at Klasse/carlack68 as an alternative.

This brings me to another question: In terms of looks, which is better? Zaino or Klasse?

Zaino definitely wins by a small margin here, but if you're not gonna put it on show or gonna put it under intense lights you could barely notice the difference, Zaino just produces a better mirror shine

Im now thinking if 845 will do my car more good than 476....hmmmmm....................................i'll stick with 885 for my roof/trunk/hood...... and stay away from girly wax........ next time i'll try your beloved 915...i'll try to bring the black car by fri night next week

845 is the liquid version of 476, basically its 476 in liquid and more volume but also about half the protection, its very easy to apply which makes it more popular around the world compared to collinite waxes, but collinite waxes definitely last a lot longer than 845 and yes i agree with mf051404 that 476 is very durable that you don't need to wax weekly

Thus this apply to all? what I mean is, are all liquid version of waxes not that effective or potent?.....

Will be washing the black car tonight, I used it last night while its raining.....beading is still there....maintenance is QD/OGE/show time for 3weeks....it is the DUSTER indeed

I've been reading the threads under the detailing topic and I got inspired with enthusiasts' input and help. Enthusiasts make cars in our world shinier, hehe madkatz (i hope that I won't offend other experts here )I already bought the stuff that she uses for washing cars (got them from the Maintenance Regimen thread).

I used to go to car washes but after reading the posts here, I decided to DIY. Its a good thing that I have a 3 year old company car where I can "practice" detailing

I've been doing some back reading and research on-line but I can't seem to find the answer to my question......please help

Introduction
I have 2 cars, a 6 month old new car and a 3 year old poorly maintained "practice" car, hehe. (hindi po naalagaan nung previous owner kaya watermark galore!)

My fascination for beading started when I had a hydrophilic session in Honda with my new car and they applied something to the windows that made the rain drops bead beautifully, no need to use wipers during heavy rain! I wanted to have my practice car's windshield bead beautifully also.

I like to maintain/get the beading effect but I believe that DIY will save me a lot of money compared to going to the casa regularly, and besides, they placed buffer/swirl marks all over my new car (in another thread http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71616)

I already have the Elevo Water Mark Remover and the Glass Science Rain Clear with me.

Question 1
There are tough watermarks on the windows and I've tried Elevo Water Mark remover on a small potion of the windshield and it works great!! But when it rained, the water sheeted, instead of beaded. How will I make the water bead again without getting the wipers to judder? Will Glass Science Rain Clear do the job?

Question 2
In terms of beading and windshield protection, is the Glass Science Kit(gel type) better than the Elevo Water Mark Remover + GS Rain Clear combo?

Question 3
The instruction in the Elevo Water Mark Remover states that the chemical cannot be applied on coated windows. How will I know if my window is coated or not?

Apologies for any typos or any wrong grammar, nagmamadali po kasi akong makaalis, hehe

Well as much as most companies and brands say that liquid and paste waxes are the same, my and my BF really refuse to believe that, but hey thats what they say so you don't have to take our word for it, to be honest we really find paste waxes to last longer than liquid waxes, in most OTC waxes' case liquid and pastes are usually the same, but with higher end waxes like collinite and souveran to name a few, paste waxes really last a lot longer than liquid waxes, and one thing that we really love about paste waxes, you would know if you saw my BF's wax collection that he has a lot of paste waxes, is that paste waxes' shine lasts a lot longer compared to liquid counterparts, so my answer would be dependent on the wax, with collinite its 2 hands down pastes waxes win far more than liquid in terms of durability, and there's also one reason why the worlds best waxes like, Zymol, Swissvax, Souveran, P21S, Collinite, Dodo Juice, Victoria Concourse, and a lot more are in paste versions, its because they really deliver better results since its much much more concentrated, the downside to paste waxes though would be ease of application, but hey if you could stand 476 and remove it then you're good to go, 476 is one of the darnest waxes to apply and remove and the also the most cases where people throw in the towel and just give it to someone else, they really just didn't know it should be applied per panel only hehe

This does not imply that you can't use 476 weekly, or maski daily pa nga eh...it's just that mas mahirap sya i-apply compared sa 845...pero kung kaya naman why not, right ma'am MadKatz? ...pero not necessary naman na weekly ka mag-476s dahil durable sya...
