di ba matatanggal yung S&G if top-off by Hotwheels or Reflections.

sounds good.

ILD/Dehadista, thanks for the reply

I've done this combination twice already and para sa akin, okay naman yung result (that's based on my untrained eye)

what I'm worried about is how much S&G will be taken off by the Hotwheels. Cause if a significant amount of the S&G will be removed by the Hotwheels, then I'm just wasting time & product applying the S&G.

Nabasa ko sa ibang detailing boards na meron din gumagawa ng ganitong combination and they are also satisfied with the result. But I know that I cannot based my decision on that because of many factors (i.e. environment, climate)

I guess experimentation is the key word here huh, haaay i-try ko ang Mom's Reflections and also the FX Syn Wax.

Ayaw ko muna mag-experiment ng ibang brand, with so many options available out there, lalo lang ako malilito kaya straight Mom's muna ako.

haayyy the wonders of detailing

art: why don't you try it the other way around, Hotwheels/Reflections then S & G.

methinks that was already covered on the previous pages.

anyway, had some conversations with them (Mom's) before regarding the various degrees and effects on different colors with their products, particularly Reflections and Synwax.. both of us agree that Reflections on a properly prepped dark-colored surface is a real beauty.

Synwax naman gives silver some "oomph"

Puwede po ba dito na lang kesa mag start ng bagong thread?

May tumulong konting patis sa carpet sa compartment. Tinanggal ko muna yung carpet kasi malamang aamoy yun. Binasa ko rin ng tubig. Meron po kayong maisa-suggest na method/product pang dilute o pang linis?

Patis is fish extract.

Salamat po...

Bad trip yan dude, first of all find all possible paths the liquid can flow through, paminsan kasi it can travel all the way to the other end of the interior.

Once you've determined that, use lysol mixture to wipe the areas clean, then leave it uncovered, after that has dried, sprinkle baking soda and leave for several hrs. then vac off...

Don't return the carpetting until you know there's no stench while the carpet is uninstalled.

Then scrutinize the carpet/foam itself. Usually foam medyo mahirap tanggalan ng amoy unless todo soak and bilad, but pwede naman.
