isang addictive sa detailing eh yung pagbili ng waxes. gusto mo talaga bilhin lahat lalo yung mga concours waxes. you can have as many waxes as you want pero i'm sure nagiging collection na lang and most of the time di naman nagagamit. biggest factor na nakakaengganyo bumili ng ibat-ibang wax ay yung excitement kasi na malaman ang magiging resulta after na mai-apply mo, wet look ba siya or mirror like finish. but as sir jhnkvn always mentioned, walang naman makakapagsabi kung anong wax nakalagay sa car mo eh?

kahit anong mahal pa ng wax na ginagamit mo, ang importante talaga maganda preparation mo sa paint surface from washing, claying to polishing para pag-apply mo ng wax ay maganda ang bonding at ma-maximize mo protection ng paint.

i think within this year di ko pa maubos ang can ko ng 915 at jar ng souveran kahit pa sa 3 kung sasakyan (montero/vios/grandia), mga isang taon pa siguro bago maubos

but on my wishlists are dodo juice and victoria red

How do you guys clean and seal your windshield and other windows? Anong sealant gamit niyo? Stainz guard, rain x, paint sealant etc?

Got my OCW and OGE already from sir ravi. Shipment was delayed for a day but compensated it with a free microfiber.

Don't use rainx. Mag sskip wiper blades mo, nag skip sakin before kahit brand new wipers ko.. I use paint sealant.

Haven't tried high end waxes/sealants, pero ma ttry ko next week yung souveran liquid. Tingnan ko kung malaki yung difference niya from what I have right now.

Anong sealant gamit niyo boss and what cleaner do you use?

**timykoo** · June 29th, 2013 12:37 AM

Just realized na sobrang dami pala ng nabili kong OGE. anybody here who's interested to absorb half of it? Send me a pm na lang.

I use KAIO using polisher sa windshield and window glasses para mabilis. minsan by hand lang pero need a lot of effort to do it lalo kung may watermarks. sealant I use KSG.

you might notice some difference lalo na kung dark color ang car mo, say black. try it in your hood, one side is yung dati mong wax, the other is yung liquid souveran and compare. you can compare the shine (wet look ba o mirror like), gloss (deep gloss na tinatawag), slickness etc. I don't know kung you need to develop a keen eye to be able to see the difference, mahirap i describe eh lol! sa durability naman, I think di masyado durable ang liquid souveran pero ok lang, di ako magsasawang i-apply

(Assuming that's a gallon)
Depending on your location, want to swap 1/4 gallon (1/2 of the half you're offering) of your OID with 1/4 gallon of my ONR? 2013 na pero hindi ko pa rin maubos

Price-wise, they don't differ much AFAIK.

As for the windshield, I don't put any actually. This is because for your wiper not to skip, preparation is needed to remove contaminants from the windshield (clay it) and improper use simply makes rainy days annoying (I had a skipping problem dati.. took a long time before nawala yun window rain repellant ko.. forgot which brand though).

As for cleaner, I'm really biased with KAIO. I really haven't found a direct "rival" for its price range and performance. I do use Collinite's cleaner at times but KAIO's still superior in overall cleaning ability.

Sealant... well, paiba iba na. Preferred sealant is KSG (obviously the partner of KAIO) but I mix it up from time to time. Preferred is KSG and Meguiar (still a rock solid choice).

I think the appeal of boutique waxes is that it gives you internal satisfaction deep down inside when you use it :naughty2: It's kinda like wearing a shirt with mother-of-pearl buttons instead of the usual plastic ones. It's a very minute "upgrade" and most people won't even bother to know but it gives the individual wearer the satisfaction of having nice buttons.

I SMSed waxnerd just a few days ago. It seems that they have stocks of Supernaturals at hand. However, Supernatural Hybrid waxes are due at the end of July (which I'll be waiting for). In the rainy season, I'll go for durability over better looks anytime!

*timykoo KSG sa windshield. Worth it yang OGE, i bought the 32oz bottle, pero sana yung gallon nalang kinuha ko.

Tempted din ako mag try ng high end waxes pero I made a promise to myself na ubusin muna yung meron ako dito, will maybe take me 2-3 years bago maubos.
