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

[jhnkvn]

Masyado kayo matiyaga at maalaga

In terms of cost-performance, Collinites will beat out Optimum's OCW and Meguiar's UQW.

Wala naman problema sa curing, but 8 hours is more than enough.

sir, what i have in the garage is 845,megs cleaner wax,Fx spray wax,microtex poducts(glos,sil,sliq and wash and wax)and some 3m products. is this ok na po ba to sir for maintainance ng gloss?

ok na yan sir lloy for maintenance, bago naman ride mo so makintab pa yan. kapag palagi ka naman nag-wash at punas ng punas (style daily driver) lalong magka swirl ang pintura mo then hanggang tatamarin ka na maglinis bandang huli

[monty_GTV]

hi mga gurus.. just wanna ask po.. ayos lang ba mgiging regimen ko?
malapit ko na makuha yung new car ko.eto sana plan ko..

KAIO then KSG cure for 24 hrs then apply KSG again cure for 24Hrs again (KAIO/KSG - quarterly)

then apply 476s let it cure (476s - monthly)

then apply OCW or UQW in top of 476s (-every 2weeks or so)

lastly maintain with OID-GE every wash? thanks..

eto ang "tamang OC" talaga. wala pa ang ride pero may plan detailing regimen na

that's a good plan pero over na yang 24hrs curing time mo, sobrang nakakatamad at time consuming na

if no time constraint, ok lang yan sir enjoy detailing

8-12 hrs before layering or application of any other product...apply mo sa hapon, kinabukasan saka mo i-wax

Good am. I'm eyeing to buy porter cable DA at AG.. I just need your opinion which pad will i choose? I have the option to choose 5 CCS pad. I'm just a newbie for using a DA and still don't know what will i need in the future. My car is 6 month old and under opticoat program..

Salamat sa tulong nyo.. Sana meron makatulong anong pad ang sulit.

when i bought my PC kit, it comes with yellow/orange/white/gray pads. i never use the yellow, its the orange that i frequently use for polishing. it has enough cut to get rid of swirls and minor scratches. followed by white for finishing polish but mostly i'm ending up with the gray. i bought blue finessing lately for sealants and wax applications. since your car is new and under opticoat program, i believe the paint will only have minor imperfections in the future. i suggest, get more orange color since you will use it often for polishing, a gray for finishing then a blue for m/c application of lsp's.

Thanks for the insight.. I'll take note of it.. White pala car ko. so 2 orange, 1 gray and 2 blue. By the way, may free pang 1 red ccs..

Sir san po kayo bumili ng porter cable?

ok na yang choices mo sir roel. pero I suggest kuha ka rin ng white pad kasi my light cutting siya. gaya ng sabi ng mga detailing gurus, always use the least abrasive pad first. if pag-test mo sa isang small area ay ok na yung white pad with your polish, then no need to use the orange. ayos kung may free ka na red pad, di ko pa nasubukan yan

Sir san po kayo bumili ng porter cable?

nagpabili ako sa relative ko sa US sir

I would highly recommend getting more pads. If you're planning on polishing your whole car in one session, I'd suggest getting at least three pads for compounding and polishing - if you can afford it, go for four to five. So I'd suggest five orange pads, five white pads, and two grey/black pads. Also, if possible, try and switch the CCS pads with flat pads - the flat pads will have just a bit more cut, since they have a (slightly) larger polishing surface in contact with the paint.

If you're planning on buying a variety of items, see if he can send them home via balikbayan box - it'll take longer to get here, but it'll be less expensive, and less hassle with Customs (most of the time).

yes..actually im planning to buy po ng gallon of OCW, another gallon of OID-GE, then Megs UQw, Klasse twins, M105, M205, and meron pa po.. mga natutunan ko lang dito at sa Pinoydetailing..

[monty_GTV]

hi vijay, isinama sa box along with other detailing items. if you have the means to have a balikbayan box much better. you can order thru your bro in law and sent them here. medyo matagal lang hintayin but its worth it, mas makakamura ka.

maraming salamat sir..bali damihann ko na lang order ko don para sulit =) what would recommend po pala sa polish and compound? im thinking m105 and m205 po pero mukang maganda din ung wolgang counterpart niya..

[monty_GTV]

maraming salamat sir..bali damihann ko na lang order ko don para sulit =) what would recommend po pala sa polish and compound? im thinking m105 and m205 po pero mukang maganda din ung wolgang counterpart niya..

mahirap mag-recommend sir, iilang polish pa lang nasusubukan ko word of caution lang din sir, huwag marami ang bilhin kung di mo pa nasusubukan. ang tendency kasi kapag nahilig ka sa detailing bili ka ng bili out of curiosity at sa mga nababasa na reviews pero in the end di rin lang nagagamit. sayang lang din, pero nasa sayo naman yan if you have the petots to burn try to check out yung mga best buys o yung mga kits na may mga kasama ng mf towels, pads etc...makakamura ka kesa pira-piraso.

kung sa mga reviews ok talaga ang megs 105 at 205, check mo may kit yan na may kasama ng pads. gusto ko rin magkaroon niyan. you can refer sa posts nina sir umi at sir jhnkvn sa other thread on how to make gray car shiny. check out din menzerna, I've have some of their polishes at ok din naman. wolfgang wala ako idea bro kung ok ba.

M105 has a bit of a learning curve, so it might be worth considering going with something that's easier to use, such as Ultimate Compound (if the car isn't too bad), or M100 (planning on getting a bottle of this). M205 is a good product - this is the product I use most frequently, for one-step polishing of up to medium defects.
