hehe, medyo. plus maganda yung spray bottle niya, yung bato ng product walang nasasayang unlike sa OCW bottle.

[MrQ5]

[manephesz]

Hi guys,

Best Car Shampoo?
Best Polish/Glaze?
Best Wax?
Best QD?

ako naman na-aadict sa UQW. mas gamit ko sya over OCW. weekly ako maglagay ng UQW at ganda talaga ng effect kahit maulan...

hello detailers! been trying to make an HTML format for the V2.0 for the guide... failed miserably.

anybody knows of good file hosting services para yung pdf nalang iupload? medyo matagal yung lag time ko sa mga on-demand na request lately. hehe.

yeah. 1:50 am ako nagpost. takas ng onti sa duty.

Hi guys,

Mini survey lang, anu po para sa inyo yung

Best Car Shampoo? - as long as it doesn't strip wax, it's good. Microtex and prochoice are good enough for me. No need for those silly wash 'n waxes.
Best Polish/Glaze? - Polish: probably yung megs na finishing polish. hehe. For glaze, Idol ko talaga yung Black Hole. Ibang klase talaga yan.
Best Wax? - collinite 915 gives a wonderful compromise between durability and showcar shine. proven to take on the big name waxes and still comes out on top.
Best QD? - depends. For cleaning QD purposes, I'd recommend ONR, for booster purposes... for sheer looks I'd say either OGE/OID or Reflections Spray wax.

I miss detailing.

What format is it in right now doc? As for having the file available online - how about google docs? Haven't personally uploaded a PDF there myself, but I believe it is supported, and if you have a gmail account, you already have a google docs account as well. Hirap talaga med - mga kapatid ko pagod na pagod din pagbalik from duty.

Quick one guys... If given just the two, which would you choose?

B&D KP600 or Ozito SPG-160VK (Sander Polisher Kit 180mm (7") SPG-160VK | Power Tools | Ozito Australia New Zealand)

B&D no need for introduction, Ozito naman is imported from Australia, pero available naman parts niya dito and dependable. Yung size niya na 180mm (7") seems standard naman di ba (Megs and LC pads can be used)?

direct comparison between ocw and uqw on how they can handle watermarks.

since nagkaron ng window last sunday very late night na di umuulan at ang dumi ng ride ko dahil sa puro ulan the past few days. i thought na maglinis ng car at mag apply ng uqw at ocw to compare them on how they can handle watermarks.

- shampooed my ride with microtex
- banlaw
- dryed it using microtex products
- applied uqw to all body parts except hood
- applied uqw to half of hood
- applied ocw to half of hood

then after 2 hours umulan. then after 45 minutes (around 330am) alis ako punta naia para maghatid sa airport. then i arrived home around 430am.

took my breakfast and waited around 630am to look at the outcome of my experiment. may watermarks sa body.

- flooded the ride
- wiped the running boards with my bare hands to remove the grit and then later used MF to wipe and still flooding the car with water.
- dried body parts with microtex product.
- yung sa part ng may ocw - dami pa rin ng watermarks
- yung sa part ng may uqw - tanngal ang watermarks.
- pareho pa rin makintab at madulas
- rest of body with uqw tanggal watermarks.

so gagawin ko maybe today pagdating ko sa bahay.
- shampoo hood
- dry
- apply kaio
- apply sealant
- apply uqw

for me mas ok ang uqw as compared to ocw to protect against watermarks.
again, that's just me...based on actual experience.

nice review sir.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing that - now that I've gotten my UQW, I might replicate what you've done - interesting to see if we'll get the same result.

uulitin ko yung test to compare uqw and ocw this weekend again sa hood uli. ang ginawa kong hatian nila sa hood e vertical para mas madali.

if ganon pa din ang result na makuha ko e gagamitin ko na lang ang ocw pag walang ulan pero pag maulan e uqw ako...

i visited several ace hardware and true value pero ala pa rin akong makitang microtex nanosil...

sige sir...antayin namin feedback mo sa testing mo to compare ocw and uqw...

my comeback stint sa detailing... our 4x4 Mitsu Strada. whew kapagod and laki pati canopy detailed. a shiny Titanium Grey Metallic was worth it....

[Starex_Gold]

Bawal pag walang pics j/k

I tried my friend's polisher, ang ganda ng kinalabasan! Sobrang dulas talaga tsaka pantay na pantay yung wax.

Now I want my own machine. Baka meron na diyan sawa na sa machine nila??
