[jmpet626]

I have one from the US i don't know if its the same brand though, its also chenille mop type but my problem was the joint broke down, but where in SM did you see that? at the basement? i'll try to buy one and give it a quick review, im sure edwin will also be game about the idea, cleaning SUV's is really a PITA sometimes especially when we detailed the Exped

I've been reading this thread for several weeks now trying to understand and digest every bit of info about detailing. This thread is very informative and a gold mine of information. I have a 3 year old black car and i only use OTC waxes to maintain it.Mukhang kailangan na ng major detail since medyo rough na yung paint especially the hood.

I plan to clay the paint to remove the contaminants. Nakabili rin ako ng collinite 476s. I also have nano glos and sliq. Gusto ko rin sana tanggalin yung mga swirl marks. Plan to buy swirlx. pwede ba by hand lang ang swirlx. wala pa kasi ako machine. This is what i plan do this weekend up to monday.

1. clay
2 swirlx
3. nano gloss
4. collinite 476s
5. nano sliq

Sa mga guru's , pls advise kung tama po ba gagawin ko. I would like do it right the 1st time.

how about sealant. ano ang recommended combo for 476s ( KSG o Carlack ?). If i use sealant , ano ang mauuna i-apply sa dalawa ( sealant o 476s ).

Tried calling some shops that distributes/sells KSG and Carlack pero wala sila stock. Anybody here selling these items.kahit tingi lang...thanks in advance

Hi!! SEALANT po muna bago WAX.......

If you could drop by his place one time i'll let him show it to you, we use a very soft pressure washer to clean it, and we also need to asses the condition of the washmitt to check if its really the one causing the swirls

Ok sige po. Will find time to drop by.

SwirlX could be used by hand, but there have been a lot of different reviews about the results obtained via hand application, machine application however produces uniformed and better results but again it does not mean that the same results cannot be achieved by hand, hand application of swirlX or any SMR's are totally dependent on application method, so if you could dial in on one system or style of hand application that you like you could do that to the rest of the vehicle, and as we've said if its by hand application we usually recommend going from the least to more aggressive method.

Another alternative you could do is use 2x coating of Nano Glos to cover up the swirls before you apply 476, this way you fill in the swirls so its visually removed and the filling Nano Glos has, has a better durability compared to glazes so its stays there longer and can last more washes.

The steps you mentioned is correct

Carlack Long Life Sealant is a good sealant to be combined with 476, however you still get the maximum results of the sealant if you use the Carlack NSC to prep the paint to let it accept Carlack LLS properly, and then layering 476 after 24 hours is a great idea if gives you two of the best and most durable protection available from waxes and sealants

My BF used to sell them in smaller repackaged quantities but i think he already stopped, try calling Big Berts i think they still have Carlack available.

Ma'am madkatz, thanks for your replies. I'll take note of them.

I would suggest you clean the wheel wells as much as you can so the dressings can stick properly, actually what we do to our wheel wells is spray some de-greasers and let it sit for a while and then use a brush to clean it, be sure to turn the tires so its easier to clean, then let it thoroughly dry before you apply the protectant, all of the products you mentioned are good for that purpose but Microtex Tireblack has the best clinging ability and it also lasts a little longer, once you've done this its easier to subsequently clean the wheel wells since the dirt doesn't stick as much as compared to bare wheel wells without dressing

yes its ok to apply by hand, and for me its still better by hand than machine, using a machine can ensure a uniform coverage but you end up wasting more, but you could also have the same results by hand with proper technique and thru getting used to it
