compared to other waxes, nanoglos is really soft... hehe. and as chikselog mentioned, the hotter the surface, the better for nanoglos (unlike other waxes)

sir, I'm guessing you're using a cleaning QD with the microfiber cloth for wiping?

Im using Nanosliq as a QD and a Microtex terry cloth tama po ba?

meron din ako showtime ng mothers maganda din po ba yun? kasi iniisip ko pang clay lang ung showtime ano po ba use ng showtime? baguhan lang talaga ko wla pa talga ko alam kaya medyo ignorant pa sa mga ibang bagay bagay

kau sir ano po yung exact na mga products na ginagamit nio po sa mazda2 nio po?

pinackage kasi ung showtime na pang-clay. pero nakakahinayang kasi na pang-clay lang. pricey din kasi. pwede ka rin naman kasi gumamit/spray ng car shampoo/water before mag-clay...

think of "showtime" as "nanosliq" ...ung tipong in-between washes/waxes mo... pero ako i personally prefer ung nanosliq dun sa 2

[jmpet626]

Dont use shampoo and water masisira yung clay niyan. Leared the hardway sayang yung isang mothers clay bar ko sobrang lambot na niya after using car shampoo as clay lube. Hindi na siya maka grab ng contaminants sa sobrang lambot niya.

Para mas economical gamit ka ng Optimum No Rinse as clay lube

[scharnhorst]

Many thanks guys! Big big help. Oh.. Btw, pwede ba habang nagccure eh lagyan ng car cover para hindi mashado dusty yung car or kung hindi nmn dusty no need to wash it before applying the 2nd-3rd coating? May effect ba sa curing process or curing time pag kulob?

sir looks2008, the danger with car covers is that during removal, the car cover can scratch the paint, since dust can still accumulate under the cover.

best to dust the car, then apply a cleaning QD (like ONR or Showtime), then wipe with a microfiber cloth

I'd recommend Showtime as your cleaning QD. Nanosliq might not have enough lubricity to properly clean the car - it's best applied after a dedicated cleaning QD.

for the best bang for buck QD, try Optimum no rinse. a 1 liter bottle will make up to 17 liters of cleaning QD strength solution. Pwede rin sya as a claying QD

Showtime is ok for claying

for our mazda 2...



at the picture it's a layered with Klasse Sealant and Glaze (applied w/ AIO), collinite 476s, Optimum Car Wax, and finally topped off with optimum gloss enhancer..

right now it has an aesthetic-biased wax on top of the 476 and klasse. hehe

*doc Scharn: :shocked2: :faint:

[Chikselog]

Takte dok, kainggit. May Klasse twins ka na. :cry:

[scharnhorst]

*SG: it's the wonders of optimum gloss enhancer

*Chikselog: hindi daw ibibigay sa iba ni master yung rineserve mong twins

[Starex_Gold]

Sige na kayo na! :cry:

[Chikselog]

Waah. Kahiya naman kay master Ed.

*SG
Oy kala ko ba dadaanan mo ko sa uste, wala na paubos na OGE ko! :hysterical:

Nice doc! Hmmm, makalagay nga ng OGE ngayong gabi - di naman siguro uulan no?

[jhnkvn]

Which retail shop sells Optimum Wax ba?

[scharnhorst]

*SG: bili ka na rin ng optimum!

*chikselog: belated happy birthday sir. haha

*looks2008: I made the guide specifically for newbies who came into the detailing thread who had no idea what to do with their cars... We were just repeating the same advice over and over, hence the knowledge was collated into a single thread.

*MrClay13: yes sir, Showtime muna and then Nanosliq. Optimum products can be bought from sir Edwin or from Ravi, posting the thread below

*umi001: parating makulimlim... pero hindi umuulan eh. OGE really is the best when it's summer!

*jhnkvn: kay sir Ed or kay Ravi, they sell optimum products
