Yes bro, that is what we use sa shop namin, it is a good alternative for clay, and easy to maintain also.

Just wanna share the results of my very first Auto-Detailing (TAMANG-OC lang..), applied all tips/guides learned from this thread and also thanks especially to the master-detailers.

Dropbox - AUTO-OC

Here's the process & the regimens i've used thru hand application, panel by panel in 12hrs.:
WASH > Microtex Wash & Wax
CLAY > Claybar(color-blue), lube w/Microtex NanoSliq diluted (distilled H20 - 1:1)
POLISH > Megs Ultimate Polish
SEAL > KSG (8hrs Curing Time)
WAX > Collinite Insulator Wax 845
QD > 3M Quick Wax
WINDSHIELD & WINDOWS Treatment > Wurth Rapid Screen Cleaner

Next wash, will try Megs Ultimate Wash/Wax & Ultumate Quick Wax.

Tried the fine grade or the blue one only. So far so good. Haven't tried traditional claybar so i cant compare. With the medium or orange one, i believe it will marr the paint already. Not a problem though, if you're gonna compound and polish anyways.

parang gusto ko na sukuan yung KSG ehehe, kahit anung gawin kong sunod sa procedure, diko makuha yung kintab. Ganun ba kahirap pakintabin ang grey na kotse? hehe. Ang dami ng thread at steps na lumabas, nabasa ko pa sa sinaunang page na di lahat ng waxes nagba-bind, at di lahat ng sealant, pwede mag bind sa wax. Mauubos na KSG ko wala padin. anu ba curing time nun. 4 days ko na ginawa eh.

Also, bakit nung KSG palang ginawa ko napaka hydrophobic nya. nung nilagyan ko na ng 476 tapos nano gloss, parang kumakapit yung tubig. Although beading pa din, pero mas nababasa sya.

Lsp mo nano gloss... a very inferior product imo.

Ksg is a highend product tapos papatungan mo ng nanogloss

If youre expecting a crystal clear reflection..it will be retarded by combining too many incompatible products. Imagine the light bending too much from the 476 and nanogross. Its like a girl with too much make up lol.


I suggest you strip everything off and just use klasse aio and klasse high gloss sealant glaze

siguro nga, there are too many procedures out there, also in this forum thread. So maybe, I am yet to get the right one. Some say it's okay, so mahuhili ko din yun. :-))

mahirap talaga mapakintab ang gray color pero nasa prepping mo yan at polishing. kapag na polish mo yan ng maganda, lalabas ang kintab kahit wala pang KSG. remember that yung KAIO works in synergy with KSG so palaging partner yan. pero pwede rin naman ibang polish then patungan ng KSG. iirc, curing time ng KSG ay 8-12 hrs yata (read the direction sa likod ng container). you can also try layering, meaning after ma cure yung 1st application, papatungan mo ulit ng another layer then buff and cure ulit. para di ka mainip, apply mo sa hapon then buff, let it cure overnight then patungan mo ulit the next morning. trick with KSG, manipis lang ang lagay else ang hirap i-buff kapag makapal.

Ganyan ginagawa ko, ang nakikita ko lang na problema, wala ako shaded area para gawin yun, sa hapon after ko mag KAIO then KSG, mahahamugan sya. Sa umaga nman, after ko mag apply ulit, maiinitan nmn, si maybe naapektuhan yung curing time? or nalulusaw sya? tingin ko maganda i try yung dodo juice, nabasa ko sa isang thread way back dito. meron sila wx for dark colored vehicles eh. Diko na alam kung anung wx ba maganda hehe. bsta 476 tapos nano gloss ginagawa ko eh. di siguro compatible.

Hi, new-member here & done back read this thread.. really learned a lot. I had a 3-months old Ford Eve2016 (true-red), for the past 3-mos weekly Wash & QD only as for my maintance. Now that I have some regimens for detailing, as a aspiring-newbie detailer please correct my methods:

Wash >> Microtex WASH & WAX (2-buckets method)
Dry >> Microtex CHAMOI / ELITE TOWEL Jr. / Megs WATER MAGNET TOWEL
Clay >> Microtex NanoSLIQ as for lubricate (diluted in distilled H20.. 1:1)
Polish >> Megs Ultimate POLISH
Glaze >> 3M Imperial Hand GLAZE
Seal >> KSG
Wax >> Collinite 845
Spray Wax >> ??? (Not sure to use TurtleWax ICE Spray Wax, coz it has mild cleaners for LIGHT SCRATCHES & SWIRL MARKS) ???
QD >> Microtex NanoSLIQ

Need some SUGGESTION / RECOMMENDATION what to use as SPRAY WAX for my maintenance...

Nice car! And welcome to the forum.

I'm assuming that you will not do this process very often.

First your drying towels, if you can, just stick to elite towels, no need for the chamois, get the big one to compliment your existing elite jr, much safer for drying.
For your polish, since your car is brand new and ikaw naman nag wash ng sasakyan mo, you can use KAIO instead, no abrasives, safer sa paint.
The glaze will affect durability of your wax or sealant, you dont need this, KAIO will clean your paint and prep it for your sealant or wax.
Spray wax, ok yung turtle wax, other options, sonax brilliant shine detailer or optimum car wax, personally I use reload, but is a stand alone silica based sealant, and it matches the chemistry ng coating ko.

Hope this helps

THANK YOU for the compliment sir Kitoy22 .. also for your very informative suggestion. Hopefully will consider your recommendations on my next Auto-Detail. Kakadeliber lang ng KAIO ko, so on my second car-detail.. It'll be a new set of regimen kasi nadagadan na naman kaalaman ko from master-detailers.

You can do away with turtle wax ice spray wax... you are already using collinite 845 insulator wax. I prefer megs uqw

Megs water magnet... leaves no streaks. I bought two recently. Its slighlty better than turtle wax ice waffle weave imo.

Megs ultimate wash and wax might be better than microtex w&w 😜 the beading is very good with megs uww.

Masters, patulong sa headlights ng new unit ko. May mga pahabang bakat na parang tumulo galing sa headlight washer. Akala ko simple watermarks lang kaso hindi ma tanggal using megs plasticX ang mothers watermark remover. Gumamit kasi ako last time ng wiper fluid from Blade para sa windshield kaso may headlight washer din pala unit ko baka yun yung ng cause nito.

Please help mga masters. Attached ko picture ng bakat mga anim po yan sa isang headlight.

Ask ko lang po kung ok ba gumamit ng door bowl protector? Sa tingin ko kasi na aaccumulate ang mga alikabok sa ilalim ng bowl baka sa katagalan na di ma linisan mag cause ng decay sa paint at madadamage na tuloy instead na ma project from scratches ang purpose.

personally, i find these door bowl protectors, akin to flared pants.
