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

[Kitoy22]

Spoken like a true detailer sir kitoy
Astig naman yung red hood. Parang candy!

Thanks Sir! Napag tripan lang, hehe. That hood has no watermarks or hazeiness, a few fine swirl marks and halos wala na orange peel. If tama memory ko yung wax dyan ay almost 2 months na, no qd or wax booster was used in that span of time. It was just maintained by regular and proper carwash. Just keep your maintenance regimen simple, and regular, and update nyo lang protection ng paint, malayo na mararating.

Nga pala this is a daily driven car, logging atleast 100km a day.

Same car, same day, different panel.

eto subukan mo yung binebenta ng Zero Stain na acid rain at water spot remover, 280/bot. di ko pa nasusubukan pero bumili ako ng 2 bote. effective naman base sa mga post nila na videos. meron din akong elevo yung liquid, effective din need time nga lang na i-scrub.

For heavy waterspots , acid based cleaners are very effective. I use industrial grade waterspot removers for these kinds of waterspots.

I mainly use 5in backing plates for my polishers ( rotary and DA ) for general polishing. Easier to control and fits most panels. Ano polisher mo. Send me a pm if you need one. I have variety of sizes from 1in to 6in.

Sir monty already mentioned the difference between the two products, but for practicality, it is rare for a daily driven car na gamitan ng glaze, even sa car show entries, madalang yung nagamit ng glaze.
If ang objective is have a shiny car, focus nlang tayo sir in keeping the paint in Top condition, meaning no haze, cloudiness, oxidation, water spots, minimized swirls, etc. and the shine will come naturally, yung wax or sealant konti nalang mdadagdag nyan sa kintab, its more on helping maintain the shine ng paint.
Another point is yung orange peel like texture ng factory paint. This will cause a non-crisp reflection ng light. Kaya ang dating ay hindi masyado makintab or medyo hazy yung reflections. My brand ng kotse na my mas matindi ang degree ng orange peel my brand na hindi masyado, unless ok lang sa inyo numipis yung paint, pwede ito tanggalin. Or just learn how to leave with it. And deal with it mag medyo luma na si car.
Kaya maintain lang with regular proper washing ang paint protection, our paint will be always shiny.

Shake well hanggang mag blend ulit. Here's my poli-seal before and after shaking for about 10minutes.

Wala na talaga sigurong pagasa yun. mahigit 30 minutes na kalog wala pa din nangyari.magkahiwalay pa din. 32 oz- minsan ko lang nagamit- 6 months ago.
kaya sa sunod tingi na lang bilhin ko-lesson learned.

Grabe, nakakainggit naman yan sir kitoy. Meron ka din bang wet sanding services to remove the factory orange peel?

[shok]

May nakasubok na ba ng Autosol Professional Compound?
I plan to use it after wet sanding a panel using #2000 sand paper.
I tried sanding a test spot then compound with Megs UC, may mga sanding marks na natira after 2 passes.

Wet Sand the whole car? No sir, we dont wet sand a whole car. Although my mga machine pads ngayon that can somehow lessen the degree orange peel, plus an aggressive compound. This will do the trick and much safer.
