BTW, knead the clay para madali gamitin.. and don't forget to use lubricant.. the clay should glide on the surface.

patopig: maganda kung may before and after ka na pics.

hey guys i just went to the mall kanina and i finally (FINALLY) bought some stuffs na..ang mahal kasi ng clay so i opted to go for a cleaner wax. ang binili ko is EO cleaner wax (ok ba ito?) and a carnauba wax to top it all off. bibili na lang ako ng car shampoo ko sa bigberts maybe tomorrow or friday. para complete na materials ko hehehe

so ang procedure ko na is:
1. wash and dry
2. cleaner wax (since i dont have any clay)
3. IHG
4. carnauba wax

tama ba ito?

i also saw some mother's products kanina pero ang mahal nila! phase 1 to phase 3. aabutin ako ng around 1500php siguro. and liquid pala ang mother's noh? also saw meg's cleaner wax, mahal pala ito..hehe (600php)

congrats on your new products!

Oks yang EO Cleaner Wax. yung Phase 2 ng Mom's naman is similar to IHG.

post some pics when you're finished detailing!

[zechs]

yeah i will, pero tama ba yung procedure ko? oks na ba yan?

[patopig]

You mean Dehadista's sig pic is a reflection picture?!! WHOA! We're not worthy!!!

Zechs: Sent you PM! dalawa pala tayong students of detailing! Good luck satin dalawa!

Last minute question guys... I'm planning on detailing 2 cars. My week old MZ3 (Petrol Red) and my dad's 6 year old Lancer (Dark Blue, never been detailed).

Since my car is new, I'm just planning on doing these steps:

1) Wash and dry.
2) Clay
3) ScratchX (WOWI as prescribed! :D) some very very light scratches
4) 3M IHG (is this WOWO or WOWI?)
5) 3M SCLW

I'm a little confused on what to do with my dad's car... Since it will be getting it's first detailing in years, it has a LOT of contaminants. I'm planning adding a step of cleaner wax to clean some stuff... Would these be the correct steps?

1) Wash and dry
1a) toothbrush some white/gray stuff in crevices using cleaner
2) Clay
3) ScratchX
4) Cleaner Wax (cheapy zymol) WOWO
5) IHG
6) sclw

Cripes. I'm not sure when I'll be having the time to do all these.. Hopefully before the month ends and maybe I'll post before and after pix by then (specially for the lancer) for your grading! :D

Thanks again masters!

Hopefully if I do a good job on my father's lancer, I can convince him on sponsoring me a ROP. BTW, is the B&D ROP any good?

yeah ako rin nga eh..mukhang kulang ang weekends ko just to finish all this..siguro if i start 6am in the morning?? hahaha
