Try mo mag-apply manually ng wax then let it haze tapos try mo to remove it manually. Diba mahirap? Diluted nanosliq makes your life a lot easier. ;)

Si SG nagturo sakin. And based on my observation, walang pagbabago sa shine. Tingin ko nga mas naging ok pa.

Mura lang naman yung nanosliq na maliit. 80 pesos lang sa Blade. Hinde pa rin ubos ngayon ilang beses ko na ginamit, parang nadoble kasi size kasi nga diluted na. And mga 3 sprays lang naman kailangan, tanggal na wax. Hehehe.

Try waxing per panel or 2 panels at a time and apply quite thinly, enough that you can see some wax residue. Use the WOWO (Wax On, Wax Off) method. Not necessarily naman na kailangan patuyuin yung wax sa paint. Kapag paste wax ang gamit, highly recommended ang wowo method to save you from a PITA removal of waxes.

Pagtapos ko magpa-carwash, pag-uwi... feather duster ko lang tapos wax ko na. Patuyuin ko yung wax then spray 50/50 water+nanosliq para mas madali removal nung wax

3M lang gamit ko na wax hehe

Sensya na bro. Di ko ma-gets. Sabi mo feather duster then wax. Tapos papatuyuin mo then spray 50/50 to remove the wax. Bakit ireremove yung wax bro?

Got it bro. Same term pala yun ng wipe/polish. Literal kasi yung naisip ko na remove hahaha. Thanks malinaw na!

For the record, wash-wax(nanogloss?)-50/50spray of water and nan0sliq yung routine mo?

had one panel repainted with the color and type of paint as OEM. however, now on its 6th month, it seems that this repainted panel looks dull compared with the other panels with the original paint. ofcourse the repainted panel does not have that oem orange peel effect/finish. it seems that the panel repainted lacks the luster and "tingkad" of the paint color. yes makintab sya pero compared with the rest of the car, kulang sa tinkad yung kulay nya. dark color pa naman paint ng car ko.

is the problem with the top coat of the repainted panel? do i need to polish or rub down this panel's top coat so this will be at par with the rest/orig paint? i've polished this panel with paint cleaner/step 1 of Mothers, then polished it with nano sil, both using an orbital machine, then hand applied step 2 mothers polish/seal, then top it off with collinite 915. sure shiny as it can be but still pales in color sa rest of the car.

kulang ba sa polishing ingredients yung step 1 and nanosil? do i need to apply the polishing compound or rubbing compound to make it as dark as the rest? will the 3M polishing compound sold in sachets do the job to get my desired result?

thanks.

It's hard to say without actually seeing the paint, but it's possible that the paint shop did not properly finish the panel after repainting. The solution could range from using a light polish to bring out the gloss, to wet-sanding with higher-grit paper to remove heaver sanding marks left behind by the shop. (Hopefully it's not an issue of them using too little clear...)

Yes, it's a good routine, and I agree with being conservative with the usage of the polishes - only when needed. The twins are made to work together, so that should add somewhat to durability. One other suggestion is to layer the KSG, three or more times - it's one of those LSPs that common forum consensus say and shared reports show can be layered, and doing so can have an appreciable impact on durability.

Heh, can I just say that I never apply wax this thickly - in fact, my wax/sealant application is usually so thin that I have a hard time seeing any hazing

Applying a thicker layer just means more excess to buff off, and all of that is wasted product.
