Ok na po. Nasearch ko na po yung curing time. Wala pong curing time from nanofil to nanosil to nanoglos. . Anu po kayang durable na wax ngayong tagulan? Hehe. Yung available lang po sa mga local markets like handyman, ace etc. Salamat po..

IMHO sir its still best to work with the waxes that you have on hand. Kung meron pa naman at satisfied pa sa performance, huwag muna bili hehe. Pero kung wala na, any synthetic wax of your choice is good enough be it Mothers/Megs/TW/Optimum, etc.
TW Ice spray and Megs UQW are both good and durable waxes. Durability always depend on road/weather conditions but as sir venerzky mentioned above, mas durable kung meron sealant before applying your wax. Yun ata may curing time before applying your wax. Klasse Sealant Glaze and Collinite 845 are good sealants.

As sir darkmatter mentioned, go with what you already have. If you need to buy a new wax or sealant, addtional suggestions ay collinite 476.
But if you have an existing wax and you think hindi sya masyado durable sa tagulan, look for Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer sa Blade. This is a quick detailer which has insane water repelling properties, what is amazing with this product is it can last 2-3 weeks in one application, depending sa conditions, kung ulan lang, kaya nya, pero kung my road salts, 1-2 weeks.
Medyo pricey per bottle since 750ml, and malapot ang consitency so you need two towels to prevent streaking.

Maraming Salamat po sa reply sir DarkMatter and sir Kitoy22. I got my TW Ice Synthetic Spray Wax yesterday. Murang mura. Hehe.
Pwede ko po bang ipatong ang TW Ice sa Nanogloss?

Mga master, meron ako collinite 845 at megs ultimate paste was as my lsp, excellent beading kaso it leaves tons of watermarks pag di napunasan at napabayaang matuyo. Gusto ko naman ma try ang wax/sealant na maganda ang sheeting action. any recommendations?

may nag post dito na kung mag patong patong ka ng wax, dapat daw liquid/spray type ang unahin kasi solvent na nakahalo doon. tapos top up daw ng paste type.

ito ba yung meg 365 bro?

[Kitoy22]

Usually spray type waxes are meant to boost the existing wax, if that is their primary use then ok lang as topper. If its label says as a stand alone lsp, like ocw, then its better used alone. Unlike liquid waxes, na usually are non layerable, so these should not be used on top, since tatanggalin lang nila yung nasa ilalim because of the solvent content as what ninjababez has said.
Just check the label just to be sure

Mga sirs maraming maraming salamat po sa mga inputs nyo.. Nagawa ko na po first detailing ko kanina.
Nanofil and nanosil lang po inabot ko. D ko na nalagyan ng iba pa.. sobrang d na kinaya kaya d nako nakapaggloss. Grabe hirap I buff ng nanofil! Hehehe. Pero sulit naman kahit wala pang gloss sobrang kintab na hehe. Tomorrow balak ko patungan ng gloss tapos patong ng TW Ice tapos Nanosliq between washes. Hehe. Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyo..

opinyon lang sir para di ka mahirapan, subukan mo muna sa magkakaibang panel then test mo yung result. say isang panel ay nanofil at nanosil, yung isang panel naman with nanoglos, then another panel with tw ice alone, then combo ng lahat then check mo each panel alin ba maganda pagkakintab. then after every washes kung alin ang maganda ang beadings at siyempre pinaka-durable. sobrang nakakapagod yan ganyan na patong patong baka yung pinaka-simple nga lang na isang application ay ok na, di mo na kailangan magpakahirap ng kapapahid at kakapunas baka sa kakapunas mo lalo pa nadadagdagan ng swirls

limited lang din ang kaalaman ko sa pagde-detail saka enthusiast lang tayo at natuto din lang dito sa forums, pero pinakaimportante na natutunan ko yung properly prepped na paint surface. kapag maganda pagka-polished ng paint surface ay kahit anong LSP ipatong mo makintab yan. kahit alin sealant o wax, paste or spray type they are intended to protect and preserve yung paint ng car mo. kahit isa lang na patong ok na, just observe kung ilang washes bago mag-deteriorate para alam mo kung kelan ka magre-apply ulit. if after sometime like few months or so at dull looking na ulit kahit inaapplayan mo ng LSP, maybe you need to do paint correction na naman.

Bro question, pag liquid wax like 845 or tw ice liquid wax (NOT the spray bottle on sale tha wr are hoarding hehehe); ok lang ba pagpatungin? Or paste wax over 845 lang dapat? Thanks!

For 845 and TW ice liquid wax, i dont think they are layerable. Repeating application will improve consistency of application on the surface, meaning mas sigurado na pantay ang pagkakalagay, but not increase thickness.
Not all paste wax can also be layered, usually old fashioned wax like megs #16 ang mga pwede or mga hybrid type na may synthetic content.
Kung traditional wax na layerable ang ipatong sa 845, pwede.
Pero kung synthetic based na wax, medyo questionable, since they only stick to bare paint or their own type of polymers.
Hope this helps

Ngek so paste wax lang for layering un hindi synthetic base hmm.. bali mali pala methods ko when applying 2 tw liquid wax tapos un spray wax na blue bottle kala ko papatong sila ^_^ haha so even nanoglos di mapapatungan ng other liquid wax? Dapat paste wax talaga?

My paste wax din na synthetic base na pwede ilayer. But usually you layer this wax to itself or to a pure synthetic sealant.

Yes sir, pag nag patong kayo ng carnauba base na liquid wax on top of nanoglos, baka maapektuhan ng solvents from your liquid wax yung nanoglos.

Carnauba based liquid wax are liquid because of the solvents in their mixture, which usually evaporates when exposed to air, kaya naging hazy yung wax after application. so layering them will be difficult since applying solvents again sa layer of existaing wax sa paint will redesolove the wax and redistribute lang sa paint surface.

If you want to layer, use a wax that is layerable by itself or use a sealant as a base then top it with a wax, but not all are compatible, kaya i suggest you stick to one brand or ask around first just to be sure.

Thanks bro
Will stick with my current tw liquid wax (matatagalan pa) since maganda durability nya.

good day mga sir. i've already bought the materials, waxes, sealants, QD's, etc for my 1st detailing session soon. eto na po ang final regimen na gagawin ko;

1. Wash - Megs wash & Wax
2. Clay - Mothers clay kit
3. Polish (Megs UP) or Paint Cleaner (Megs Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner)
4. Sealant/Wax - Megs Ultimate Wax or Megs Nxt wax or Optimum car wax - alin po ba ang maganda sa tatlo?
5. Wax - i plan to layer the sealant with Collinite 845

**application of megs ultimate quick wax every car wash and maintenance of Optimum quick detailer

ok na po ba ang program na gagawin ko? by the way po, car is more than 1 month old. Tanong ko lang din po sa Polish or Paint cleaner na gagawin ko. ano ba mas preferred for my car? polish po ba or paint cleaner?

Do you apply paint cleaner po ba sa affected area lang (with watermark, swirl, light scratch) or i need to apply it sa entire car in preparation for waxing? Salamat po

ok na yang program mo sir

sa 4, try mo sa magkakaibang panel then observe mo difference sa shine, sa beading properties nila and durability/longevity.

whether polish or paint cleaner? try mo sa tig-isang panel then compare kung alin mas effective na ma prepped yung paint surface.

apply mo na lang sa buong area para parehas ang treatment bago i wax yung buong car.

For your 2nd step, reminder lang to use enough lube and knead your clay regularly to avoid inducing swirls sa paint.

For your 3rd step, if wala or minimal swirls, go for paint cleaner and do the whole car, since this will also prep the paint surface for your sealant. Kung madami swirls, use the polish instead, or you can use the polish on a case to case basis.

For your 4th step, i suggest you use Ultimate wax

For your 5th step, relax and enjoy, im sure looong day yan,
