Microtex products: Opinions and experiences

[Stokedmd]

Been using some Microtex products out there. From the microfibre to the car care solutions. How do avid amateur detailers find the product? It is relatively cheap compared to the branded Megiuars, Mothers, etc.

Off topic. Anyone here tried Chemical Bros and knows where I can buy it?

I tried Microtex but I settled with collinite No.845.

Gusto ko mga songs nila... sikat lalo na nung 1990's.

Kidding aside, baka you meant CHEMICAL GUYS.... they're quite popular in the US... dito hindi ko pa nakikita sa mga shops eh.. usually dito mga microtex, meguiar's, mothers, turtlewax, 3M, etc. pero sigurado may mga online sellers yan.

I started learning to detail with Microtex products. They were OK to start with, very accessible and affordable as well.
After some online research, I tried other brands:

Meguiar's: has a good consumer line (Gold Class/Ultimate) and a great detailer line (by the gallon). I like their Gold Class shampoo, M21 sealant, APC, Xpress Spray Wax, QDs, interior detailers, compunds and polishes. Their waxes are nice also. I like their applicator pads, foam DA pads, and their MF towels.
Collinite: waxes are superb. I've tried the 845 and 915, and will be trying the 476 soon.
Mothers: I use their tire cleaner and wheel brushes, works great for me. Their California Gold shampoo is so-so. Their Mag polish is good.
3D/HD: HD Poxy is a good sealant, and I also use their QD.
Soft99: I have 2 of their waxes, Fusso and Kiwami. Very nice water beading but can be tough to properly apply on dark paint.
Optimum: I use Optimum No Rinse for some light duty washing, especially if it's raining and I can't do a full wash outdoors.

Chemical Guys: no experience except for their MF towels, which are OK.

Edit: I get my supplies locally from either Lazada or REFLECTIONS CAR CARE - plus eBay and Amazon for those that are not available locally.

I use Microtex Wash & Wax. It's cheaper than the Turtle Wax Zip Wax Car Wash & Wax.

Ok ang Microtex. Hindi mahirap i-polish. Magandang gamitin yung NanoSliq sa bagong car o bagong paint. Spray lang at kaunting punas punas, ayos na.

MY plan was like this

1. Nanofil
2.nano sil
3. M7
4.m21
5.nxt tech 2.0 meguiars.
6. X press spray wax (to nalang aaply ko after the nxt car wash gang mag fade yung wax, for maintenance lang

I've been using mtx for a while baka lang maka dagdag shine or gloss yung m7 , tho di ko pa nattry any of the meguiars product or glaze.

Will this work?

Was able to buy a ButterWetWax at ATMT (last bottle) last week. Was able to contact sir Raymund Guevara of Home | NAA (see Chemical Guys Philippines? ) and he can give you a pricelist of CG products that they are selling.

If my friends ka sa SG or HK, you can also ask them to visit the distributors there and maybe you can get the products for cheaper price (I was able to buy a New Car Smell Air Freshener sa HK for 600pesos, 1500 benta dito sa pinas)

Would you recommend this for cleaning the dashboard and the sidings?

Been using this since 2012.

Much better kesa sa Armour All for me. Been using Armour All for my motorcycles. Medyo greasy armour all kaya mas nagustuhan ko yung Microtex Sun Shield. Been using it since then.

Great! Sige, will test it out

Yes, try it! Maybe get the smallest bottle-spray. It kind-of saved my Altis' dashboard. It masked the scratch marks, and helped it get a newer look.

It's difficult to trace back my post before; but it was about me asking what I could use to remove my dashboard's scratches. As far as my experience is concerned, this worked wonders for me.

Note: I can't say that it will make your interior like it just came out of a detailing shop. It only protects/renews.

Then use with microfiber cloth lang? When I went to Ace kanina, nawala na yung one and only na bottle na yan. Argh!

Me, from Formula 1 to MTX hehe. Both are great wash and wax products except MTX is very reasonably priced and more foamy.

same impression, malinis tignan and mukhang bago vs being sobrang kintab ng armour all

[willownavarro]

Has anyone tried the Microtex C'Tru Glass Cleaner?

[airolynx]

These are the products from Microtex that I regularly use:

1.) Microtex wax and wash car shampoo - Panalo ito. Very shiny ang car after and it is very affordable
2.) NanoSliq - quick detailer. I use whenever meron konting stain na kailangan alisin pero hindi pa oras para mag car wash
3.) Sunshield - pang protect ng interior. Mas okay kesa armor all kasi hindi oily after mo i apply.
4.) Tireblack - matte lang siya when it dries. Maganda yung itsura ng tyres. They look clean not oily.
5.) VH Polish - removed the yellowing of my dad's suzuki Celerio.
6.) VH Guard - parang 'wax' ng headlight. Prevents yellowing
7.) Glaz stainz out - resets your windshield to factory like state. Tanggal lahat ng coating. Good product to prep for application of rain x or other hydrophobic glass coating.
8.) Glaz stain guard - parang rain away ito. It lasts a very long time.
9.) washmitt
10.) detailing cloth

Grabe hirap gamitin ng nanofil

Neway do you let nanofil, sil , ang gliss sit on the paint for a minute or two before polishing/ buffing

Ok ang price and hopefully maganda naman ito.
