ibig sabihin nito pag i-top ko ang glaze sa sealant either KSG or opti-seal dapat acrylic siya? ano ano po yung mga glaze na acrylic? TIA.

For that part we're still doing some research regarding which are best, but so far i don't see any acrylic glazes here and our orders are still due to arrive on october since its bought from germany and we have to wait for out mentor to bring it over, you only need acrylic glazes if you want to layer acrylic sealant like KSG, but if you are using Opti-seal then its ok to use regular glazes just as long as you do a IPA wipedown to remove the oils and ensure proper bonding

Microtex washmitt is only 330 if im not mistaken

microtex washmitt is MF chenille washmitt while mothers, meguiars and SM arnolds are lambswool, as with lambswool i find it that they deteriorate faster especially if you run over sharp surfaces like emblems and such, lambswool because of its semi rough nature also can't be used with pressure because it might scour the paint unlike some chenille washmiits, overall if really depends on the person using it, i did a comparison before using a MF chenille washmitt (non Microtex ) and lambswool and just to check which one is cleaner i wiped the paint with pressure using a chamois, and the part where i used lambswool was a lot dirtier since the chamois turned dark on some spots and the MF chenille washmitts were cleaner, i then washed the panel again using lambswool but this time with pressure and it actually scoured the paint and induced scratches, i said bottomline it depends on the person using it because our mentor actually uses a lambswool washmitt and he can even put pressure to the paint without scouring it but then again his lambswool washmitt was made from the US thats all natural not mothers, megs and Sm arnolds

Thanks for the reply dude. Just bought 2 pcs microtex washmitt a while ago. Yes the price is 329 a piece.

I was also looking for a Meguiars NXT shampoo but can't find one even in Blade. The only shampoo available in Blade is Mothers shampoo. But based on the reviews I read on the net, Meguiars NXT is better than Mothers. O well, I have to stick with my Microtex shampoo.

Hehe sorry but im not a dude

Megs NXT is good in its claim that it you use it wash your car you won't get water marks after and its very economical, right after you wash your car you would even notice that some parts are starting to dry up without any water mark and streaking, actually Mothers isn't half as bad, some people from the US use Mothers to NOT strip expensive waxes since its one of the most gentlest shampoo's out there, Microtex isn't half bad either, its main selling point is its price although you might have to use a little more but its still cheap

If you mean't if Optra has a layer of clear coat over color coat then the answer is yes, nearly all cars nowadays since 2000 now have clear coat finishes but as to exactly what they use i don't know, the only thing i know that really matters is to differentiate whether if its acrylic or polyurethane.
