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

[justdiy]

Di ko ma edit yung post.

Anyway, hindi po GG ang machine ko ehh..

[mcbry]

900 watts kasi griot's eh noh? Parang ang alam ko eh AVR Is safe to use kung nasa around 500 watts lang ang machine. Research mo rin sir baka pwede.. 2,400 lang ung avr na bili ko ehh kasi 1500 watts lang dn

AVR is safe. just get one with higher power rating.
gamit ko 3000 kVA na AVR sa washing mashing namin.

[mitchoi]

3,000 watts na Stavol yung inorder ko sa kanila, napa-isip nga ako nung makita ko yung itsura sa net, tsaka ko lang na realize na may kelangan ka pa gawin, akala ko kase plug-and-play lang, tsaka sobrang bigat hehehe, pero mas mura ang step-down transformer kesa AVR tama ba?

question lang po sa mga masters.

==============
SAMPLE MAINTENANCE REGIMEN
Weekend 1:
1)Apply Nanoglos or Mothers Step 2.
*Note: Step 2 does not require any curing time. Nanoglos requires 8 hours
2)Apply Collinite 476
3)Apply Nanosliq after 6 hours
================

balak kong gumamit ng ONR for washing tapos meron akong nanosliq for qd. anong magandang in-between wax: klasse twin o collinite 476 & 845 o pwedeng mix & match?

bale ganito ang magiging regimen ko

1. car wash
2. apply KAIO or 476
3. apply KSG or 845
4. apply nanosliq

tapos
when needed:
1. ONR
2. nanosliq

nabasa ko somewhere na KAIO ay cleaner wax na din. yung 476 ba same din? usually 3 hours ang driving time ko one-way kaya ang target ko ay durability ng wax. btw, white po yung paint ko kaya hindi ko habol yung reflection. mabawasan lang yung pagkapit ng dumi & maiwasan lang na magkulay dilaw yung sasakyan, ok na sa akin.

salamat sa sasagot

Ganun daw talaga pag high wattage na step-down transformer wala na syang saksakan, ganito itsura nya

Yung binigay mo nga pala na number yung kinontak ko, bukas ko pick-up yung transformer, iniisip ko nga kung pwede ba na AVR nalang. Griot's Garage 6 din ba sir gamit mo?

My nabibili sir na step down transformer na plug n play. Pero kng on the way na delivery nyan, pa wiring mo nkng sa electrician yan. Madali lng yan.

KAIO is a cleaner sealant, but has no abrasives, meaning clearcoat safe kahit paulit ulit mo gamitin. While 476 is just a wax.
You can use KAIO every 3 months and top it with wax or KSG, that depends sa preference mo.
But for your objective, i will go with Klasse twins, and make a KSG based booster (i posted somewhere here the dilution) which you can use after every wash. With this, you will just have to apply a sealant every 2-3months.
Hope this helps

so, redundant na yung nanosliq & KSG? how about yung ONR & KSG as QD, same lang din ba sila? another question, may ibinigay sa aking nanoglos, pwede bang i-layer sa klasse? sa sample kasi sa page 2, pwedeng nanoglos tapos 476. if pwede, paano ang layering?

[mitchoi]

Pag 3,000 watts daw kase wala na daw talaga, ikaw na mismo gagawa or baka dahil fixed type yung meron sya, pero pwede na yun bibili nalang ako ng makapal na wire para maganda. Bukas ko kukunin yung transformer.

Yung Stavol ko rated 3k watts on my HT has a detachable ac/power cord included...kung gagawa ka ng cord nya maganda kung around 10-12 gauge yung cable and hospital grade yung socket....

[monty_GTV]

sa DIY shop ko nabili yung step down transformer na ginagamit ko sa pc 7424xp. iirc, nasa 6.7k yata bili ko mag 4yrs na ok naman, medyo mabigat nga lang kaya may extension cord ako

Btw. hand-buffing lang po ako. sa mga carwash lang ako nakakapagpa-buff.

Mga kapatid, nagpabili ako sa bayaw ko ng polisher sa abroad, sabi ko yung dual action , eto yung pinadala panu ba gamitin toh. Dit ito yung expected ko eh pero muka nmng polisher haha

handheld yata.. mukhang one-hand-design..
... mukhang medyo hindi comfortable gamitin dahil wala yung "usual handle".

fixed type kasi sya mostly designed for shop use. where u can make fixed 110v lines/outlets.
mabigat talaga ang step down transformer as mostly use iron core and laminated wires. the higher the wattage the bigger the core to accommodate the ticker wires. my 2000 watts tranformer already weigh around 20kilos and its a pain moving it around specially during mobile details.

There are ready to use step down transformers pero mas mahal. Ensure mo din to get thick wires for your extension cable para hindi mag-init yung polisher.

Hindi naman sir, iba purpose ng nanosliq which is a QD, and KSG na sealant. Pero kng meron ako ilalagay sa top ng KSG gusto ko mas equally or mas magaling sa properties nya. Mganda kase mag repel ng water ang KSG, ang nanosliq hindi, baka mas maipunan ka ng watermarks.
Yes you can mix ONR and KSG to make your custom QD, just mix 2oz of KSG to a gallon QD mixture of ONR, shake this frequently before using.
Yes pwede mo ilayer ang nanogloss over KSG, pero KSG has better hydrophobic properties compared to nanogloss, kng 476 mas ok.

Kelangan pa kaya ng transformer nyan? Australia kasi galing. Di daw nya natanung eh, basahin ko nlng daw sa manual pagdating. Okay na muna siguro yan, nabili na eh hehe

no need for transformers, australia has 220~230v AC.

Thanks boss, one last thing, yung pads ba nyan kasukat lang din nung madalas na ginagamit dito satin? Yung polisher na mukang sander and itsura? kung may size, anu po size dapat? tska anung pad? diba hiwalay yung applicator sa pang buff, tapos iba padin yung pang tanggal ng scratches?

Got 12 gauge wires, solid yung copper at ang tigas ng wire, ginawa ko nalang maiksi para sa wall connection, then isang maiksi pa ulet para sa socket, then gamit nalang ng extension cord para sa polisher, hinde ganun ka flexible yung nabili ko kase na wire sobrang hirap maghanap, sarado mga hardware nung Sunday.

Pabili wax

--------------------------

Anyway, nagamit ko na yung polisher, since silver yung kotse hinde ko masyadong makita yung swirls unless tutukan ng flashlight talaga, pero overall, masayang experience sarap ulit-ulitin sana. Ginawa ko Meguiar's Ultimate Compound dun sa medyo malaking scratch then Ultimate Polish naman sa iba, hood and doors, then sa kabilang side, Klasse AIO ginamit ko, then KSG na sa buong sasakyan. Next weekend nalang ang second coating dahil kapos na sa oras.

Papicture naman sir ng current setup mo with your transformers. Hehe. Congrats!
