Thanks *monty_gtv, V7? Wax lang na blacklight.

bro smuiv, cg V7 is sealant and quick detailer spray na kapartner ni blacklight btw, si blacklight pala pwede rin gamiting as AIO, used it with black pad at low speed then nakakatanggal din ng minor swirls. i do polish with blacklight by hand or machine > wax > then spray/wipe with V7...nice result especially sa mga dark paints...

Ah AIO pala si blacklight. Thanks for the info, puede ba collinite 845 o meguiar ultimate wax o mothers pure carnauba wax for the sealant? Yung QD ko mothers at meguiar pero ginagamit ko as QD now yung TW na nakasale yung post ni ninja yung TW synthetic wax spray may 3 bottles pa kaya ginawa kong QD ok lang ba pang QD si TW synthetic?

ok mga yan bro, i have 845 too and maganda rin effect niya. ang carnauba wax at sealant bro ay magkaiba, although pareho silang last step product at parehong function as paint surface protection. carnauba based wax gives more gloss na natural effect o parang wet look shine, while sealants are synthetic waxes kaya typically gives mirror finish type of shine. pero para sa akin pareho lang any of the two are good last step products (or LSP) naman that gives protection sa paint. mas durable nga lang ang sealant, thats' the reason why ginagawa ng iba pinagpapatong. rule of thumb is sealant, cure then wax. ok din mga spray waxes, they are very easy to apply, i used it in between washes to maintain yung gloss.

Thanks bro, apply ako bukas ng 845 as sealant at carnauba

kahit 845 lang bro sufficient na kasi wax naman siya. kung papatungan mo pa ulit ng ibang wax pwede rin naman pero imo redundant at dagdag pagod pa

Bro mas sturdy sa experience ko yun tw ice vs, 845. Sayang naman kung gawin mong quick detailer :p:p

Mas maganda pala ang TW, bakit kaya mura? Mas mahal pa yung QD ng meguiar at mothers

Because its TW haha cheaper yet maganda pa din like the expensive megs and mothers. Teka bakit ginagawa niyo QD yan eh hirap hanapin yan haha tama ba ko ninja? Btw I already ask my suking blade store to contact me immediately about that product haha out of stocks kasi I am referring the blue bottle na naka promo with wax and wash na din. Pano ba timpla ng wax and wash nun?

Btw does anyone know where can I buy wash mitts na may handle un pang roof ng sasakyan hirap kasi pag suv lilinisin need pa ng tungtungan. I saw TW kaso mahal 750php sa ace baka may alam kayo cheaper

meron bro sa ace yung may retractable handle. need mo talaga tuntungan kung mataas sasakyan mo. i bought yung ladder na folded with 3 stairs, more than enough to reach and clean the top.

[ninjababez]

^buti nalang maliit ang swift, but the height is still imposing vs, compact cars of 90's. Tumitimgkayad pa ako just to reach the mid roof part. :-)

*bryan19

Baka nga dahil old packaging bro kaya mura. At dahil mas mabenta ang mothers and megs. Btw ok na ok parin yung ginamitan ko ng tw ice bro, puro car wash nalang ako isang buwan na !
Re: retractable mitts, Id invest with a good step ladder bro if i were in your shoes bro.
Re:timpla ng wax, ginagawa ko 2 cover cup full sa 3 litres of water, ok naman. :-)

Just read a few pages back that a tsikoteer can't wax his car yet due to newly painted panels... I just got my car from the CASA for some body repair about 2 weeks ago, they replaced the bumper and front passenger door, and did some repainting jobs on the body.. does this mean I cannot apply wax yet? how long should I wait? Thanks...

if that's heat-curing auto paint they used, then it's already cured. someone once tried using that type of paint, without the heat.. ayun.. 6 months na, basa pa rin..
but if they used the ordinary paint, i would wait 2 months..

Paano ba yung proper use ng elevo watermark remover? Ginamit ko sya pero parang hindi naman natatanggal yung watermarks ko tapos ang hirap din nya ispread. Gamit ko yung sponge na kasama. Thanks sa help.

^ baka di na talaga kaya ng elevo yan. Tricky kasi yang watermarks, minsan embed na sa paint which case kelangan na ng abrasive polishing para matanggal.
