Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

1. Water streaks

Well it depends on how long its been exposed to the elements, if its baked in you have no choice but to use a machine and a glass cleaning compound to remove the watermarks.

2. Swirl marks

You have two choices either use a polish and machine to level the swirls or fill the swirls with glaze and wax.

3. Light scratches

Try using 3M scratch remover, remember this is only for spot threatment.

ILD: malapit kasi sa balcony yung garage kaya I just turned the TV towards it. bad trip nga eh may sira yung ROP ko eh.

leinahtan: you have to remove some paint in order to do some corrections. it just depends on how severe the damage is on your ride..

so clay and polish before sealing.

as for the products to use, there are some preferred products people here generally use such as Mother's, Megs, Soft99, 3M and the like. try to use and experiment with various products so you can eventually narrow down your choices. also, browse around the thread and you'll notice on as to what people are using, the process and products involved.

pre questions la po,

1) ok lang ba gumamit ng cleaner wax on a newly painted car?

2) maalis ba ng cleaner wax ang stain ng gasolina sa may gas tank lid?

how long has your car been painted? hope you gave the paint some time to outgas first before waxing.

if so, a cleaner wax is ok to use naman.. but since your paint is still relatively defect-free, you can also opt to use a regular wax for the meantime and on regular intervals, use the cleaner wax..(around once a month)

no wax for 90 days ang instructions ko sa mga customers when i used to manage a bodyshop. the paint job actually takes less time than that to cure, but that's what we tell them just to be safe

2 weeks pa lang siya pre. kaso may mga water stains siya na di maalis ng water or car shampoo. Plus yung stain ng gasolina sa may gas tank lid.

try polishing it, basta walang wax yung polish. Try mothers Step 1. after then glaze it.
