Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

ILD: Ahhhhh. Okidoki. Heheh. I tried DACP yung the foam applicator and I had the machine worki it in. Naging very smooth but mejo blurred yung surface. Heheheh. I just read na kailangan pa pala ng milder polish after DACP. Try ko naman Machine glaze after. Hehehe.

try mo yun swirl free remover #9 on a yellow pad

tsinita,
nice! im just a bit confused which i am referring to, tsinita or the car? hmmm....and after putting a lot of thought into it..nothing beats the detailer herself! haha nice job on the ride! kaya ok ang black or the high tech paint of tsinita's madaling makita ang improvement.

detailing masters! ok ba yung parang crayon or chalk na pangtanggal ng scratch.. kainis talaga nag ka minor scratch yung hood ko mga 6 lines din. or mas ok yung 3M na scratch remover? thanks!

[cardo]

i've tried that before not worth the money imo :D ... If its down to the metal kinda scratch only course is repaint the whole panel. Check mo mabuti yun mga scratch remover, usually swirl removers lang sila hehehe. some, bug and tar remover na rin ...

Question again gurus, For the benefit of other posters, do you have a list of Synthetic Waxes for our reference? Available locally ofcourse

[chain]

Synthetic Waxes (different from Sealants):
(among the few mentioned here sa thread...)

Megs NXT (liquid and paste versions)
Mom's SynWax (currently using this.. like it)
Prestone (patopig is using it...)

I tried DACP yung the foam applicator and I had the machine worki it in. Naging very smooth but mejo blurred yung surface. Heheheh. I just read na kailangan pa pala ng milder polish after DACP. Try ko naman Machine glaze after. Hehehe.

crucial din dyan ang pad na ginamit. try to work it in to the give the diminishing abrasives a chance to break down. from what you've described, polish wasn't worked in long enough. hard to describe this kasi.
