[ratchet23]

i'll be doing my bi-annual detailing tomorrow.

asphalt removal
wash
clay
wash
moms step1
swirlx
moms step2 / nanoglos
collinite 476
nanosliq

is the sequence correct?

moms step 2 or nanogloss?

is cleaner wax necessary after claying or hindi na since may step 1 and swirlx?

how to apply effectively the swirlx by hand?

and how to clean residues and dirt between the emblems?

thanks!!!

Yey!!! :2thumbsup:
That's great to know Ma'am.
I already found a unit and it's about 6,500 pesos. ok na kyo tong price?

Thanks again and again Ms. Madkatz

Mahal din pala yung ROP.. Buy a kp600 na lang kung wala din masyadong correction ability yung bosch madali lang naman i modify yung kp600 to accept LC pads atleast half the price pa

san po may nag momodify? DIY ba po ang pag modify or may shop po talaga?

[jmpet626]

DIY lang contact cement at velcro strips lang.

thanks sir jm.. ano po bang machine ang pwede narin mag correct ng mga swirls? yung kp600 pang spread lang po diba?

[jmpet626]

Porter Cable 7424xp, Flex 3401, Griot's/Meguiars ROP mas safe sa paint. Yung makita 9227c at wp1300k rotary naman medyo may lurning curve nga lang pero mabilis mag correct ng defect

I'm planning to buy some detailing items from AutoGeek and have it shipped here in the Phil thru a friend based in the US. How much is cost of a standard balikbayan box? Is it safe to ship thru that mode. wala ba
nawawalang items?

[watusi]

how to apply effectively the swirlx by hand?

naku, good luck po sa hand application, be sure to stretch your muscles before using swirlx, hehe

Ginnova took a whole day in applying Swirlx

[jmpet626]

Gamit ko Alas Cargo sa California sila based, 38$ to 40$ yung isang box walang weight limit basta kasya sa box. Wala naman nawawala so far naka ilang box na din ako safe naman. Nakapag padala din ako ng home theater hindi naman na damage. Mga 6 to 7 weeks nga lang yung shipping date

thats about right, but if you're gonna be using it stock don't go over 3.5 setting, that machine's maximum OPM is over 10kopm so its really faster in terms of OPM compared to the maximum speed of a PC what it lacks however is the rotations thats why it lacks the ability to correct compared to a PC, however if you use it on a high setting you might be able to do some light correction but 4.5 is tops, anything higher than that is already scary

You should swap or remove Step 1 from the sequence, if you'll be using an IPA wipedown after using swirlX then you could go straight to Step 2, or use SwirlX and then Step 1 before you proceed to step 2 or nano glos

cleaner wax is necessary after claying but since you'll be using a swirlX this would already act like you're cleaner, however swirlX leaves a slightly oily film that could fill scratches so in some cases you might need to use Step 1 or if you're already busted from SwirlX then just do an IPA wipe

SwirlX would need some elbow grease to work properly by hand, if you're tackling very light and fine swirls and light pressure would already be enough but if you're talking about moderate swirls then you would really bust you hand using this product to do moderate correction, you're better off using UC for the first few passes and then follow it up with SwirlX that or save time by adding pressure to SwirlX alone

you could clean residues from emblems by using a detail brush or detailing pen with some QD

the above mentioned ROP can already correct light defects and is a lot stronger than kp600, it even goes up to more than 2x PC's OPM when both in maximum setting the only thing it lacks is rotation so that should give you a picture of how much it could correct but of course still not at par with a PC

thanks mam.. sakto lang pala.. isip isip muna kung ROP or PC. pang long term na din kasi yung PC so mas tipid kung mag invest na sa pang matagalan at marami magagawa.. kay master ako una pupunta pag ka bbili sakali hehe

Thanks again ms. madkatz.
Anyway, guys, aside from mother HQ may iba pa bang nagbebenta ng PC locally? Pagkakaalam ko nasa 13k and PC sa Mothers HQ. Thanks...

[Starex_Gold]

Hmmmm.. Ano sa tingin niyo?

ITEM OFFERED: Porter Cable 7424 Dual Action Polisher

DESCRIPTION: 110v. with backing plate. free 3 Lake Country pads (polishing, cutting and finishing pads)

CONDITION: used but not abused. used for less than 10 detailing sessions.

PRICE: 7000 NEG.

110V ba talaga 'to??

[rico_g]

Thank you Ms. Madkatz for the usual support.
Question again madali lang po bang makakuha ng pads nito unlike sa kp600 na may kailangan pang i-modify?

Thank again

for the price of Bosch which is like double the KP600 and also has little correction capability, I'd suggest you go for KP 600 which is like half the price... here's what it means to modify it to accept LC pads from mother's santolan:

lusot sa customs, chief?

[rico_g]

*SG I think I saw this same post at another site... all PCs are 110v. PC is not meant to be sold outside the US (or Canada/Mexico) kaya lahat ng PC ROs are at 110v

*Louie I saw this last week when I went to Mom's to get LC Pads, please note that this is the old model, not the XP. I was thinking about getting this until Master advised me against it, coz it wasn't the XP model. Apparently the XP model can run at 6,800 OPM vs only 6000 for the old 7424. This means better correction capability.

Looks like you guys are shopping around for a PC...

I'm thinking of looking for buddies to collectively buy and have it sent on one balikbayan box... the thing is, mejo nakakadala ang horror stories nila Master when shipping thru Balikbayan boxes... if i remember correctly, they lost a fortune on lost detialing products in one shipped package once...

maybe it's a matter of finding a good carrier?

also, another option, still cheaper then FedEx, UPS and such is Johnny Air Cargo. I believe they ship at $5.50/lb + $2.50 handling which makes it a total of $57.50 for a 10 lbs package (PC comes in at 9lbs incl box). still cheaper than fedex which will ship this item at around $150-180, plus the added risk of customs kotong. JAC is also guaranteed "customs-free". Shipping takes 7-10 business days...

waddya think mga idol? how do we ship our PCs!!!???
