How to use Rubbing Component correctly?

[kalog]

advises please. im planning to do this my own, just wanted to know if its worth the effort o hayaan ko na lang ibang tao ang magpaka hirap linisin ang aking sasakyan!!! heheheheh! thanks! :twisted:

[GlennSter]

linis ba ang kailangan mo?

you dont need a rubbing compound!!!!!!!!!

tanggal pintura mo niyan....

try to read more about this dito sa board and sa PINAS DETAILING ni theveed....

[afrasay]

KALOG:::leave it to the professional... baka more harm than good ang lumabas. I had mine waxed. But before doing it the paint shop had to rubbed it as the paint is a little bit rough.

if you insist pa rin

use rubbing compund a small amount on a rag soaked with paint thinner...

be very very very very very very very careful lalo na sa corners manipis ang paint dun

when all the scratches are gone, glaze it then polish,

[theveed]

kimpoy: Paint thinner???? No way... the rubbing compound itself is capable of removing at least 2-3 mils of paint by itself, adding paint thinner will definitely take no more than a few seconds to remove all of your paint except the base coats. Rubbing compounds are basically cream/liquid sandpaper of 1500 grit up.

use paint thinner moderatel

para lang less rub,

yung paint thinner naman dito is kerosene

[theveed]

incorrect sir, kerosene is NOT a solvent, it will NOT thin paint. paint thinner is a solvent.

theveed::: I know it sounds crazy, but kerosene nga nilalagay sa lata ng "industrial strength" rubbing compound sa mga talyer. It works though. Me, i use RM rubbing compound (without thinner) to remove shoe marks from my side claddings. Ang tagal kasi pag turtle wax (or any other abraisive waxes for that matter). Super konti lang. the topcoat doesnt seem to get damaged.

[theveed]

yup i know kerosene is used, but not paint thinner, 2 are totally different substances.... what kerosene does is add a little petroleum cleaning properties to the abrasive compound to simultaneously clean, provide lubrication and strip thin layer of paint (due to the compound).

[pajerokid]

ah ok :wink:

[kimpOy]

paint thinner from hardware stores is actually kerosene

lacquer thinner is actually the "paint thinner"

sorry for the kaguluhan

pambihira talaga! ive heard enough! the professionals knows best!

so anong diskarte? ipaparubbing ko na lang sa shops! how much would it cost kaya? baka parehas lang or close kung ipa detail ko na ng diretso!

thanks for the great gurus who posted their reply!

[kimpOy]

rubbing only thins the clearcoat
that is just 1/3 of the job
you have to glaze and polish pa

with the right tools madali lang iyan

pero if not bring it to theveed
he's the man fot the job
