[scharnhorst]

*SG: pwede na dilaan yung SF at tucson mo

*umi_001: punta ka sa drivebright sa sabado idol? up for grabs pa rin ba yung OCW? hehe

*cjv_justice: may bago ba sa altis at FD? punta daw si master sa drivebright sa saturday!

*Ginnova: nanosil rin may light cleaners... although I've layered nanoglos over 476, medyo buhay pa naman yung 476 after nastrip away yung nanoglos

Hey doc! Yep, available pa yung OCW Might drop by, kailangan ko magpalinis ng carpet (wala pa akong vacuum eh).

[GTS925]

I just had my car detailed, tapos umulan. Pwede ko ba wash para mapasok ko sa garage?

[scharnhorst]

*GTS925: yep pwede mo i-wash yan. kung tama naman methods mo hindi naman mastrip yung last applied product

*scharnhorst - hindi ba mastrip kahit na ang gamit ko ay nanogloss at nanosliq lang? or kapag winash ko siya dahil nga umulan ay uulitin ko na din ang nanogloss at nanosliq? thanks.

If naulanan yung wax within the curing period... may chance na nastrip yun, but it differs from wax to wax... by experience nanoglos lasts up to 3-4 washes given the proper washing and drying. the Nanoglos+nanosliq combo is a bit more durable.

Assume nanosliq gets stripped down everytime you wash... so you'll have to reapply it after every wash to prolong the life of nanoglos.

What I'd suggest is just assess the wax condition after the rinsing... if you can see beading, then there's no need to reapply nanoglos, but a booster, such as nanosliq, will definitely have to be applied.

if dapa na yung tubig... you'll have to reapply nanoglos.

Unfortunately if you realy want more durability from your wax... you'll have to invest in more expensive products aside from nanoglos

good day mga detailer ano po ba magandang asphalt removal & clay? and any info how to use it. saka po ano pa bang maisusuggest nyo na sealer bukod sa 712 hirap talaga kasi humanap. hehe. yung maipapatong sa nanoglos. para mas matagal ang durability nya. yung madami lang po sana hanapin sa mga hardware sa mall. hehe thanks in advance.

For asphalt removal, you can just use kerosene - as long as you don't let it stay on the paint too long, and wash it immediately after, it's perfectly safe for the car. For clay, the Mother's clay kit is pretty good value, with 2 80 gram bars of clay, a QD which you can use as a clay lube, and a pretty good MF towel.

What is 712? Unfortunately there really isn't much available OTC that you'd consider durable - hmmm, I guess your best bet would be to go with Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax (get the paste, as I've read it's more durable than the liquid). For the price that it sells in the Philippines, though, there really are better - and cheaper - options available.

+1 to what idol umi001 said. hehe.

if you've got the cash, you can get the carlack68 twins from bigbert's - it's one of the most durable sealants available in the local market.

Oo nga eh - moved daw to next weekend.

hopefully makapunta pa ako sa date na yan!

You know where else you can get the Carlack twins? I've seen them in MC Home Depot in Fort Bonifacio, of all places (so perhaps you can also get it at other MC Home Depots). Nagulat ako nung nakita ko, hehe. They sell it for the same price as Big Bert's - 1,400 for the NSC (KAIO), and 1,200 for the LLS (KSG). They had two pairs in stock, in an area near the counter.

From C5, diresto lang - via flyover/tunnel to Katipunan, past Ateneo, Miriam, and the church (dela Strada?), past UP where the road name changes to Tandang Sora, past MWSS, past Ayala Heights. After the Ayala Heights gate, you'll reach an intersection - turn right on this road, which leads to Capitol Hills. Drive Bright is along this road, just past the BPI bank branch.

a oo yun ba yung nasa car display si M2 mo? kaya nung OPT EB bumili ako ng concentrate niyang OGE e.

by the way, gumagamit ba kayo ng brush to grab the wax from the 915's can then spread sa applicator pad? sinubukan ko lang gumamit ng brush and tingin ko mas ok siya...
