"Tamang OC lang" - a newbie's guide to car appearance maintenance

Meron ako nararamdaman na rough parts pag hinawakan ko, di na siya madulas. Pero pag tinitignan ko naman, walang visible scratches. I tried claybar but still di matanggal sa ibang areas. Ano kaya dapat gawin dito master detailers?

Nabawasan ba yung roughness w/clay? Try mo pa balikan ulit ng clay, kung meron ka mas aggressive, use it.

As mentioned, it might need more than one pass with clay, or even a more aggressive clay.

Try to get in touch with Ravi. He distributes Optimum and 3D products. I just got an 8oz bottle of ONR from him last month.

There's also a seller on (s)ulit.

It's really annoying after you washed your cars then it rains.hehe

The other day I cleaned my Civic with Microtex Wash & Wax. Yesterday it was still clean so just dusted it, used Mothers Showtime instant detailer then waxed it with Eagle One Superior Nanowax and finished the tires with Microtex tire black. Same story with my Dmax. Cleaned it with Duragloss 902 (the gallon) then yesterday, used Meguiar's QD then Meguiar's UQW.

Then guess what, it rained last night till this morning. Now the cars look like they haven't been cleaned for a week.hehe That's the beauty of those spray waxes coz they are so easy to apply. Maybe tom I will just clean them with Meg's Ultimate Wash & Wax so that they will look shiny again. At least it is good for an early morning workout to burn those holiday fats.hehe

Big no no kung tap water yung ginamit mo bro. kung purified/distilled water pwede..

[ronki]

Assuming naulanan yung kotse pero HINDI madumi. You can use plain water, and dry it using a waffle weave using the patting method.

Kung ginagamit mo then naulanan, much better kung regular wash na.

tanong lang po,kakabili ko lang ng Mother's brazilian carnauba wax (december 2012), twice ko pa lang nagamit nitong sunday, ang sabi sakin sa carwash nag bu-buo buo na daw yung wax...

hinde na po ba talagang pwedeng gamitin yung mother's ko? ang nangyayari kasi pag tapos ibabad yung wax nahirapan daw silang tangalin yung wax kasi parang nag pupulbos...

kailangan ko na po bang bumili ng bago o ganun lang ba talaga ang mother's??? TIA

Hindi na po binababad yung wax. Talagang mahihirapan ka tanggalin yan kung hahayaan mong matuyo ng matagal sir.

Those people don't know how to apply wax As mentioned, you don't let it dry for too long. Also, if you're getting excessive powdering, it's because they've used too much - properly applied, you'll have a hard time seeing the wax even before buffing off, and very little residue should be left behind.

nano sil may remove any previous coatings, and it's preferred to be used with a rotary polisher, then topped off with an LSP.

Eto resulta ng NanoSiL using a rotary polisher. ;)



This was on JC's car from Pinoydetailing.

kitang kita si master ed sa reflection a...



medyo adieu na ko sa detailing pero not completely... nagbaon parin naman ako ng mga tips at best practices from the gurus, pati products.

good luck to the new generation of detailers.

[Lapella]

If you just bought a brand new car, will it have an effect sa paint kapag nagpadetail ka kagad like 2-step or 3-step detailing? Or its not advisable sa brand new na unit? Meron bang certain number of months na sinusunod?

Thanks,

Just finished washing, claying, KAIO, 2 passes of KSG then topped off with Collinite #915 in a span of 5 days including full day curing of KSG. Was a nice combo and would say allergic sa tubig yung panel...amazed sa sheeting/beading ng 915 but hirap i buff-off. Sakit ng buong braso huhu.
