Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued]

Actually no, Collinite 915 is more durable than Souveran Paste but Souveran looks a little better than 915, if its just for some car show thats not that big we can stick with 915 or something else, but if its a big show we use Souveran Paste or WG Fuzion or Swissvax Mystery, we find these waxes to look best and also has the least smearing and the fastest when removing finger marks

someday I hope to get to try premium waxes like souveran/ swissvax... kahit one time lang... just want to see the maximum potential of my car... haaayyy... sarap managinip!

one of these days....

This detailing bug is starting to be very costly... but I LIKE IT

Hahahaha tell me about it! its already costing me and my BF a lot more than the amount we're supposed to be saving for a wedding

But for me its really a good source of satisfaction once i see my car look great!

Hows your detail BTW? pls post pictures to encourage more people to take better care of their cars

[madkatz]

so, parang finishing polish ang step 2? may use pa ba pag nano gloss or acrylic glaze after this step? or diretso na sa sealant/ wax?

Hmmm its a lot lighter than a finishing polish, but it can still improve the finish, it won't finish as good as a finishing polish though but it could still improve especially if you're left with some haze

as with acrylic glaze yes, with Nano Glos i would still say yes, but basically it would be acrylic glaze is sealant on top and Nano Glos if wax on top

[madkatz]

ma'm would you have any idea how much the acrylic glaze costs? perhaps a price range? like 1K+ or 2k+?

Oh, well we have around 3 different brands here, 2 are german with some weird letters and the last one is unlabeled but from US, we just ordered these from our mentor and we're not yet allowed to disclose them, plus we're also still thoroughly testing them against other brands, if you want i think my BF could sell you some of the previous one we're using but it has to be in a repacked bottle.

I'm noticing dirt on applicator pads when applying wax (especially if its 476 or Nanoglos), especially on the hood, even after washing the car with a more concentrated solution of shampoo

is there a way to avoid this without having to clay? I don't want to have to strip the sealant and wax every three weeks, sayang kasi yung protection

[frenchtower]

Based on experience, which among the current crop of polishers emit lesser noise while in use?

Ganito din ako minsan kahit bagong wash yung car may dirt pa din na lumalabas sa applicator pad while applyung wax. Kahit hugasan ko na twice meron pa din dapat talaga mag clay. Usually meron nito sa mga flat paenls like roof, hood at trunk.

Guys do I need an IPA wipedown after ko mag Megs Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner before ako mag NanoGlos/915? Thanks.

guys share ko lang yung observation ko.. ask ko na din kung ganto yung nangyayari sa paint ninyo..

HOOD no protection at all paint lang talaga.. pag binasa nag wawater sheeting siya pero super bagal bago maubos minsan natitira pa na naka sheet sa paint hindi dumudulas, parang pagong kung dumulas parang no movement talaga..

nag apply ako ng 1 layer KSG .. gumanda yung water sheeting niya para na siyang aso tumakbo pa baba ng hood (yung water) nag sheet padin at madulas na maganda result (2days old na yung 1 layer)

sa right side ng hood ko naman ay 2layers ng KSG (7days old) mas maganda yung result kasi hindi siya nag wawater sheet.. pag buhos mo ng tubig sa hood dulas agad yung tubig no sheeting.. linya linya yung na foform..

so madali pala malaman if nauubos na yung layer ng sealant.. pag makapal pa layer dulas agad.. pag mejo manipis na sheeting pero madulas.. pag no layer na water sheeting at hindi na halos dumudulas..

ganto rin ba sa inyo?

*para alam na natin kung pano malalaman if may layer pa ng sealant o wala na.. para hindi ma clay agad hehe

[jmpet626]

Dapat malinis yung surface ng paint pag tinest kasi pag madumi nababawasan din yung beading at bumabagal yung sheeting off ng water.

Pero kahit walang wax yung car right after polishing nagbebead at nag sheet din ang tubig dahil flat at smooth ang paint.
