Baka ma-late ako bukas mga tsong. Pero pupunta ako. Langya nagsisimula na akong sipunin.

Dok bombitmd patusok naman para mawala sipon hahaha! May ganoon ba? :hysterical: J/k.

Civic dadalhin ko mga boss, kahit parang putik tignan Vios ngayon sa dumi haha. Para may mapagpraktisan tayo na panel. Sana lang enough pa clearcoat nun.

[bombitmd]

Naka-uwi na din ako. Kakatapos lang ng aming Wash and Learn with Master Ed. Maraming salamat Master! For once, nakuha ko yung gusto ko na shine and depth! Pero, as fate would have it... umulan!!! Grabe baha kanina...

Anyway, pag uwi ko, kinuhanan ko agad ng picture yung beading....

[Chikselog]

Nice beading doc! Kahuhugas ko lang nung Vios, nabawasan na yung "crazy" beading nya. Not as good as newly applied. Sa bagay wala kasi ako booster sa 476S ko, ngayon meron na ko ulit SLIQ.

Guys, I just want to share my first wet sanding experience. An "experiment", my eldest calls it. I did it on my old Kia Avella. I used some 1500, 2000, and 2500 grit sandpaper, sanding block, a Makita 9227, Meguiar's M85 on wool pad, Meguiar's M83 on white LC pad, then topped with Turtle Wax Platinum.

Whew! I wouldn't want to do this again. It was really some workout on my part. The longest time was spent trying out a combination of pads, polishes, RPM's, and amount of pressure and number of passes, on various parts of the hood! (Remember I have NO experience AT ALL with this. This was my first time). When I finally got it right, I did the whole car. This took about two weeks to do, after work. I could imagine if I did this with a Porter Cable, I wouldn't have got it done. Thankfully, I didn't burn the clear coat.

It's a pity I didn't take 'before' pictures. But you would see the previous paint in areas where I couldn't sand and buff, like the narrow panel behind the hood below the wipers, and around door handles. I would have to wait for my 4" pads to arrive to do these properly. Or I'll do them by hand.

Has anyone here tried the 36 pcs MF towels for arnd 1k sold at SnR? ung yellow?

I remember seeing Master Edwin last week at SnR, sabi nya ok daw un.... di ko lang maalala if he added na pang gulong, or if its ok sa body....

looks ok kc mahaba ung strands eh...

we've tried it, its ok for wheels and removing polishes since you need pressure to remove oils and residues so its thin naps is ideal for that as well as a hand polishing cloth but its naps aren't deep enough for wax and sealant removal especially if its a dried on collinite you'd have a hard time removing it so you might need pressure and thats where deeper naps make it safer.

Wow nice job there!

M85 finishes really nice on foam pads rather than wool pads, you could even get an LSP ready with m85 with the burgundy cutting pad, but hey i couldn't argue with the results that is really shiny and good job especially for a first timer
