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

[dbhollanda]

thanks for the reply, so you leave the shampoo muna during claying? or you hose it down and dry it out first?

will do those as you suggested but probably skip nanoglos or reflections and go straight to uqw

my only problem now is how to properly apply the twins, i've been reading less is better as it is hard to buff off

re twins, im also trying with madkatz bf as ive been backreading the detailing thread, tingnan ko nalang san masmura and masconvenient puntahan since i dont bring a car everyday to work

meron bang willing magturo how to properly use the twins hehe iba parin yung reading the instruction to really seeing it in person and im too much of a coward to experiment

- before claying, hose down ko muna yung shampoo. no need to dry before claying...
- very light lang dapat ang application ng twins. kung mahirap talaga i-buff off use a QD...
- application ko nyan very light lang and in one direction only...
- since sabi mo nagpapa detail ka sa bigberts, then you can watch them apply the twins sa ride mo pag punta mo don...kasi mababait naman sila at you can ask them how to apply the twins...

[dbhollanda]

Sir newbie questions lang po.

1. Ano po gamit nyo when claying with QD?
2. Do you clay the whole car, or yung mga spots na needed claying lang?
2. Dry muna po ba dapat ang car before claying?
3. Sa paggamit po ba ng KAIO and sealant, parang wax po ba ito na apply and buff lang?

I'm planning in adding these steps sa usual shampoo, wax and booster QD na ginagawa ko.
Eto yatang mga steps na to ang kulang kaya di ko masyado ma-appreciate. Salamat!

- dami na kong QD e -- zymol, megs, mothers, and yung no-rinse solution na QD ang formulation
- typically whole car ang claying
- no need to dry the car after hosing down the shampoo before claying. use QD while claying
- may waiting time ang twins -- kaio and sealant. 1 hour for kaio then buff then apply sealant and wait for 2 hours then buff..

Ayun! Maraming salamat sir sa tips! Last question, after claying, kelangan pa ba ulit i-rinse ng water? Or shampoo ulit?

[Ginnova]

I usually wash the car after claying para malinis ang pintura bago magpatong ng fresh coat of wax/sealant

Newbie here, i am planning to detail my car, i own a 3 month old black jazz, medyo my mga swirl marks na kasi ngayon lang ako natuto kung paano ung tamang pag-carwash and usually pa-carwash at wax lang ako kasi wala ako garage at i live in a condo. pag nakakauwi sa province, siguro 4 times a year pwede ako makapag detail. now upon reading a lot of stuff regarding detailing and the 3 step process, ok lang ba na i'll use mothers step 1 and 2 and finish it with collinite 915? and every after weekly carwash apply ako ng mothers step 2 at collinite 915? or do you have any other suggestion?

Sana umabot ako diyan sa sale, makaka-daan lang ako after PMS ng Tucson..

BTW, guys.. Alin mas ok na pressure washer, yung de-timba or direct sa gripo?

Para sakin mas OK yung direkta sa gripo. Yung mga ganitong types kasi portable at nakabukas lang yung motor niya pag pinindot mo yung trigger. Yung Black and Decker ko mas tipid din sa tubig kesa gagamit ka ng hose directly.

yung step one ng Mother's na pre-wax cleaner gamitin mo lang yan every quarter or every six months lang. I use nanoglos for my step 2 then Collinite 915 for step 3. more than 1 month itatagal ng 915 pero monthly application ko. every week after carwash I use a spray wax like OCW and Meg's UQW.

gaano kahaba yung hose mo from gripo to PW? I assume you carry it around while operating it di ba? Ganyan sana gusto ko may auto shut-off feature. May ganyan kaya yung Karcher?

thank you. bumili muna ako ng ocw, then planning to buy 915 next month. what's better, mothers step 1 and 2 or the carlack twins?

sa sobrang daming good products i don't know what to use, hehehe!

yeah ganyan din ako nung una e. thanks to the detailing gurus here, i already found my materials and regimen and i'll just stick with it. i'll go easy muna on trying all sorts of stuff.

i have not tried the carlack or the klasse twins at all. others prefer these sealants over waxes, ako waxes parin mas gusto ko.

you won't regret getting Collinite 915.

[Ginnova]

for better protection. sealant ( twins ) muna then top with pure carnuaba wax like collinite.pero dapat paint is prep properly para magbond ang sealant.

prep properly like claying at pagtanggal ng aspalto, tama po ba?

[Ginnova]

depends on the condition of the paint.just follow below flowchart and you would be ok.

[MrQ5]

talagang si sir ginnova, ima-master ang detailing. sir di ba may DA polisher ka? anu po sa inyo porter o meg g220v2? at madali lang po kaya gamitin 'pag baguhan ang gagamit?

[Ginnova]
