swak na swak idol!

controversial yang Med69 na yan! ganda ng gloss effect for u and sir ginnova...

i guess protection from brake dust boils down to regular maintenance... now that you keep protecting your car, with waxes and sealants, dust won't stick to the paint, but instead to the product itself... removing the dust should be as simple as cleaning away the wax in the future..

also, OGE, with it's non-stick, teflon like propoerties should make it easy to just dust it away...

naging salamin, hehe

thanks for the tip

masubukan nga yung OGE, grabe yung brake dust na kumapit sa pintura e.

Ms. Madkats anong magandang kasunod ng NanoGloss, Collinite 476 or 915? Thanks again.

either should do well

476s for good looks and great protection

915 for good protection and great looks

however, if you plan to wax twice a week anyway, then go for 915... if you wax for once a month, then 476s for its protection.

Ms. Madkats anong magandang kasunod ng NanoGloss, Collinite 476 or 915? Thanks again.

915 ka na according to the experts, it has more shine compared to 476. the only advantage 476 has is durabilty. but 476 outlasts 915 by only (average) 1-2 weeks

Sorry hindi po ako si madkatz pero walang magawa ngayong lunch time, heeh

Mga Idol wala talaga kayong kasawa sawa sa usapang detailing. hehehehe

[madkatz]

I can't tell because I layered Z2 over Z5. However, I did notice that the reflections became more distinct after applying Z2. But there's no way to tell if the improvement in reflections was due to Z2 ALONE or because of the total of 6 layers applied - 3 for Z5 and another 3 for Z2.

They say that Z5 fills the swirls but I was disappointed over this claim. After 3 layers of Z5 the few swirls that were present before application were still there.

Hehe a lot of people are really disappointed with Zaino's claim over Z5 filling swirls thats why we prefer Z2 slightly over Z5

[madkatz]

I know mam madkatz answered this already.

But you don't need really Z-AIO if you are going to use ZFX (which I see you've ordered already) especially for the initial layer. This is according to the Zaino FAQ on the website. ZFX already functions as a bonding agent as well as a cure accelerator.

Besides, Z-AIO can't be layered cause it has cleaning properties.

I made the mistake of ordering Z-AIO so it's just lying around not a drop used. I guess I'll just use it to detail friends' cars, if they will let me.

Actually ZAIO can still be used even with ZFX its just a cleaner before you start layering, so lets say you did a 3 step polish, from compound to finishing polish, it would be a great idea to do a IPA Wipe and then use ZAIO before you layer Z2 or Z5 with ZFX, ZAIO when it comes to multiple layering will only be used prior to layering to ensure a clean foundation for the multiple layers, and yes it cannot be layered thats why its just for creating a foundation for the multiple layers, its also a great cleaner if you don't want to polish, it can already remove some stubborn water marks and some etchings from the paint before you start layering with Z2 and Z5, so now you have a use for ZAIO its a great product to use before layering, but you would be finished with 5 bottles of Z2 or Z5 before you finish one bottle of ZAIO

Salamat bro watusi, cge 915 na lang kunin ko pag may time pumunta sa autobisyo. 1.8k daw siya, ok na ba na price ito or may mas mura pang makukuhaan. I'm around Alabang area kaya autobisyo pinakamalapit na may 915. Thanks again

*watusi

idol, ano wax/sealants nilagay mo sa roof/sides ng jazz?
meds69 over 915? or meds69 lang?

[madkatz]

mam meron na po ako carlack68 LLS and by friday baka bumili po ako ng carlack68 NSC.. inexplain po sakin ni master bakit ko need buy ng NSC combo with LLS.. nag hahanap po ako ng ipapatong after 3layers of LLS.. zaino po sana yung z5 para sa gloss tutal last top ng sealant na siya.. yun po plan ko hehe pag may zaino na po update nyo po ako mam salamat po

*question po.. pag prepare ko sa paint ok na ba ho ang swirlX + megs step2 ?? pang tangal ng swirls.. after nito saka ko na ipapatong ang KAIO and KSG..

What color is your car? if its light colored Zaino is ok, if its dark WG is good

Yes that should remove some fine swirls

[madkatz]

Thanks! Hehe so atleast ok na pala yung na order ko. Bilis pala sa zaino online 3 days lang at flat rate yung shipping fee na 10$.

WOW! How many bottles did you order? is the 10$ regardless of quantity and weight? the last time we ordered about 20 bottles we were charged 25$ compared to 7$ in Lazaino, but that was about 2 years ago

[madkatz]

if its black no doubt 915

[flakez]

tatagal pa rin ba yung 476s on top of nano gloss? kasi diba hindi naman ganon ka durable yung nanogloss? may libreng nano gloss kasi yung car shampoo ng microtex kaya gusto ko try.

or mas ok ba 476s tapos nano gloss? hindi ako satisfied sa kintab ng 476s eh. or may cleaners yung nanogloss?

thanks

It seems flat rate na sila. 1 of each ng z2,z5 at zfx

[bombitmd]

NICE!!!!!!

OO nga maganda ata eto sa black...... sino ba me black....try naten..... .........

Akin black! Try natin! Hehe Kailangan na kailangan ko na mag layering... wala na yata protection kotse ko...

Parang ang dami ko na-miss nung Sunday, ah. Lungkot tuloy ako... Lunkot na, sakit pa katawan (kaka buhat gamit sa bahay) tsaka sakit bulsa (dami kailangan bilhin pag bagong lipat...)

You know what you missed ordering? Z6 (quick detailer) and Z7 (car wash).

You need Z6 in between layers and wash your car only with Z7. That's the trouble with the Zaino line. You can't use other brands, and if you do you lose some sleep thinking that you won't get the optimal shine and protection.
Very clever marketing, eh?

I imagine that the bonding will be twice as strong if using both ZAIO and ZFX. But I was just too lazy to use ZAIO as base especially if ZFX would suffice already. That saved me time by skipping ZAIO.

But, yes, six months from now, when I'm going to strip and start all over, I'll try using the ZAIO as cleaner and base.

Oo nga ano... maganda nga pang relax yan... pagkatapos mag buhat, mag lipat, mag linis, upo ka lang sa garahe, sipping iced tea, pinagmamasdan yung kumikinang kinang na kotse.... haaaayyyy
