Di kaya nanofil ibig nyo sabihin? "FILler" and yung nanosil is Sealant? CMIIW though

we are both correct bro, pag binasa mo yung label ng nano sil bro; may filling ability din sya.

Hi detail gurus! I'm trying to complete my detailing kit and I have a couple of noob questions. Any and all advice is appreciated!

1) Where can you buy the Klasse twins here? And around how much?

2) My polish is Meg's. Is it better to stick to one brand for both the polish and seal/glaze steps?

3) Is it okay to wash all the microfiber towels, wash mitts and applicators together? (Cross contamination issues)

4) Has anyone tried the Nu Finish soft paste polish? It says polish but it claims to be better than car wax and lasts a whole year. The minimalistic orange label is appealing eh.

5) Same question for the Mantis brand. I don't know anyone who has tried their products but they have premium placement, plus an entire shelf in Ace compete with video commercials pa.

Kai ok na yun 845 or tw ice mo as LSP. Re: klasse twins, polish and glaze na yun
So klasse twins 2x a year (judging from your low mileage) then 845 every month. Pero pag gumusto mp pa pumayat once a week LOL

Happy with 845, pero gusto ko rin itry yung iba pag naubos.

Low mileage pero super kawawa paint ko kasi bilad sa araw. Open parking sa office eh. Kaya mas often siguro intervals ng akin.

How often should I get my car washed/waxed?

I usually travel a lot on the highways pag weekdays, so my car ends up dirty everytime I go home. I previously had my car washed twice a week in a carwash near our house, but after just one wash with them, may streaks na sa hood ko. So sa Detail Studio nalang ako magpapawash kahit mas malayo. Problem is hanggang 8pm lang sila open, and I usually get home mga 8:30 na. With that, siguro mga once a week nalang ako makakapagpawash kahit madumi yung kotse. I'm wondering if this would be bad for the paint as the dirt and mud would be stuck on the car for a longer period.

As for the waxing, the guys at Detail Studio recommend reapplication of Collinite 845 every 2-3 months. I would assume na ok lang yung wash and then wax na? Then siguro once a year nalang yung paint correction? They recommended against wax and then glaze right away kasi daw hindi naman kakapit yung glaze.

I assume they know their stuff cuz the owner's 11-year old black Mz3 still has stunning paint with no swirls, streaks, or discoloration.

^Baliktad yata bro dapat polish, glaze then wax. Since bago pa auto, baka kaya recommend nila wax nalang.

My mom will spend her vacation here next month. I told her to buy me porter cable 7424XP and bring it with her. If anyone here want it too, just pm me. Even waxes, polishes and compounds that can only be bought in US. Godbless

Ninjababez, ganito ba yung sinasabi mo na parang collinite 845? TW ice liquid wax. Ibang packaging lang siguro? around P1.2k sa ace. May kasamang applicator at MF cloth:


May nakita rin ako ganito, tw ice spray wax:


Question: 3months old sedan ko. Enough na kaya na ganito muna: once a week, liquid wax. 2-3 times a week, spray wax. Microtex nanosliq, as needed? Salamat mga master!

tapos 1.2k yung liquid wax. baka next week bili narin ako nyan, madali lang kasi ako last time na nasa ace hardware ako eh :

re: application
normal driving with average of 10-40km a day pwede na once a month liquid wax
pero kung madalas ka talaga nasa road siguro 2x a month yung liquid wax.

Thanks ninja! Di ko pa nabili actually, ubusin ko muna nanoglos/nanosliq ko.

Problema ko pang isa, tinamaan ko ng gate yung unahan ng sasakyan:



Dala ata ng antok. Anyway, ginamitan ko ng nanofil at nanosil pero ganyan pa rin ang itsura. Any insights mga ka-tsikot? Salamat!

Test mo muna ng fingernail mo pag bumaon malalim na. Pag hindi naman kaya pa ng polishing compound. Ginagamit ko sa mga ganyan yung formula 1 polishing compound na scratch remover. Effective sya. Di mo sya makukuha ng isa lang. Ulit ulitin mo lang talaga hanggang sa di na sya visible. Di sya 100% mawawala pero atleast di na sya visible unless titigan.

Pagini-slide ko finger nail, nags-stop sa scratch. Mukhang bumabaon na. Dalhin na lang sa casa?

Malalim na yan pag ganyan. Repaint lang naman yan dahil isang line lang dalhin mo nalang sa mga shop na nagrerepaint near sa lugar mo or kung may kakilala ka para makamura ka kesa sa casa mo dalhin same lang din naman yun.

Ninjababez, clarify ko lang. Either spray wax or liquid wax lang ang kelangan bilhin? Bale pag may spray wax ka na, enough na yun, di mo na kelangan ng liquid wax (mas madalas ka nga lang mag-aapply). Tama ba?

Yes just make sure na wax at hindi quick detailer ha, kasi magkaiba yun.
Recommended spray wax yung naka sale sa blade na 330 pesos lang na tw ice with free tw shampoo.
OC lang ako bro and kasama sa exercise ko yung waxing kaya madalas ko gawin. Pero pwede naman once a month lang.
