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

[yapoy86]

I'll be using this AIO on a new car from the casa.



There will be a lot of imperfections to expect so I'm thinking of getting a DA polisher, but I have a few questions.

The backing plate (velcro) is 7", should the pads be 7" as well or 8"? Microtex only has 3, 6, and 8 inch pads.

What's the benefit of having a waffle pad?
Based on the AIO that I'll be using, should I use a cutting/polishing pad or just a finishing pad?

Thanks.

I'm heading to youtube after this.

For me 5 to 6 inch pads lang.. mas madali ma control yung polisher..

[ronki]

So I'll need a M14 6" backing plate with 6" pads, right?

[monty_GTV]

mga sir, anong tingin nyo dito sa combo na to? okay kaya to o hindi sulit?

turtle was seal and shine

Collinite 845

As of now ung 845 lang gamit ko. nilalagay ko lang cya after carwashes
mas okay ba kung gamitan ko muna ng TW seal and shine bago ako mag apply ng 845?
Thank you

5in diam backing plate ang ideal on most pads. malaki na masyado mga 7".

waffle pads yata ay hindi madaling uminit. i have not use them, flat pads lang gamit ko.

kapag aio, use a medium polishing pad. pads are color coded depende sa brand. check out autogeek.net for the different brands of pads. i used lake country and meguiar pads.

Car Buffers, Car Polishers, Rotary Polishers, polishing foam pads, buffing pads, wool pad, Porter Cable 7424, Makita, DeWalt, Cyclo buffer, bonnet,

Planning to get locally available pads lang, like Microtex.

Baka kasi di ko rin magamit in the long run kaya I don't want to invest heavily. Hehe.

I'll try looking for an adaptor for the 5" backing plate with 6" pads.

Thanks.

either of the two pwede mo gamitin, very durable sila pareho as last step product o LSP. to make a comparison, you can apply 845 sa side at rear panels then TW SnS naman sa hood at roof. check every wash alin ang tumatagal ang protection

nadudurog yung pads pag matagal na di nagamit...

yes, marami akong foam pads na matagal hindi nagamit o nagagamit, nasa plastic packaging pa nga, ng gagamitin ko, nadudurog na. usually, mga lake country pads, yung meguiar's hindi naman

mas ok pang polish yung megs applicator kung by hand.. yung microtex maganda pang apply ng collinite 845 kasi hindi nya absorb masyado yung product

[yapoy86]

thanks sir

try mo din yung microfiber type na applicator instead of sponge type.. maganda din yung microfiber type kasi hold nya yung product in place instead na ma absorb like sponge..

i don't about the others, but for me, i like the applicator for polish to be a little damp.. that way its much easier to prime the applicator

Finally, I'm back to work after having my "vacation" since April. For those who are not using their cars, please be aware of the possibility of "discovering a new creature", aside from your regular spider.

I just wiped it with a damp microfiber. I don't know how it ended up there. I just used a car cover and left it inside the garage.

I am somehow worried that it might occur again. I'll be leaving the car for at least two months. Any recommendations for a spray or something?
