What to use and why on darker metallic finishes Compared to darker solid colours, darker metallic and pearlescent finishes are much more forgiving in terms of hiding minor defects such as marring and fine swirl marks. A further benefit of owning a car with metallic or pearlescent paint is that you end up with a car that looks different depending on the light. For example, in dull, cloudy conditions the flake in the paint will almost disappear.. 더보기
Chemical Guys - DETAILING BUCKET WITH GRIT GUARD AND EXTRAS 케미컬 가이의 버킷셋트중 하나이다. 뚜껑이 있고, 바로위 사진처럼 실링이 있어 물이 t새질 않는다. 겨울철에 필요하기때문에 구입한 제품,, 물론 이뻐서 구매한 의도도 없지않다.. CWG와 엄청나게 조악한 워시미트, 그릿가드, 버킷 이렇게 세트이다.. 그릿가드는 원래 블랙이 들어있는데 블루가 더 잘 어울려 바꿔 넣었다. 만듬세가 단단하여 내구성도 어느정도 있는듯 하다. 해외 구매시 엄청난 배송비가 부담스럽긴 하지만.....그래도 손에 들어오는순간 이거다 싶을정도로 이쁘고 아담하다.. 4 1/4 겔론으로 용량또한 적당한 수준이다. 3번째 사진을 보면 알겠지만 OEM 방식에 케카 스티커만 붙는다.... 아마도 케카 스티커가 없다면 가격은 절반 이하로 뚝 떨어질거같지 않은가 !!! 사진에서 보듯 그릿가드 최상단.. 더보기
Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M16 + P21S Concours-look Carnauba Wax 이거와 이걸 더하면 어떻게 될까?? 아니 더할거라곤 누가 생각이나 했을까? 위에 두놈을 더하면 아주 좋은 결과물이 나온다는 해외포럼의 글들이 있었다. 또한 그러한결과물을 어느날 상현형이 들고왔다... 부산에서 올라온거라고 하며 ..... 일단 P21S는 전형적인 카나우바 왁스이다... M16은 Goldclass와 같이 카나우바가 포함된 합성왁스이다. 아마 FK Pink랑 비슷하지 않을까 생각한다... 어차피 Meguiar's 나 FK 나 한집안사람들이니 ㅎㅎㅎ 근데 저 두놈을 섞으면... 엄청난 날광이 올라온다... 보고도 깜짝 놀랐다.... 담엔꼭 사진올리겠다.... 쩝... 한번 도전해볼만한 일이다... 근데 M16을 써보지 못해서 정확한 느낌은 알수없지만... 결과물을 보고 아마도 FK Pink와 .. 더보기
Raceglaze 55 vs Swissvax Best Of Show B.O.S 사진은 상현형 블로그에서 퍼왔음... 아 일단 사진이 저정도밖에 안되는건 어쩔수없다.. BOS의 사진은 어디를 뒤져봐도 제대로 크게 나와있는걸 찾을수가 없었다. 두 왁스의 결과물들은 여러 해외포럼에서도 익히 들어 알것이다.. 상당한 찬사를 받고있는 두왁스... Raceglaze 55 짙고 투명한 래드컬러에 상당히 소프트한 물성의 왁스어플리케이터를 사용해선 안될것 같이 묽다. 아주 좋은향이 난다. Best Of Show 스위스백 만의 향기로운향, 적당한 소프트함으로 어플리케이터나 핸드왁싱 둘다 적당한 정도의 물성. 두 왁스를 비교해 자웅을 가리자는 의도의 글은 아니다. 다만 같은듯 다른 왁스의 특성을 알아보고자 적는 글이고 다분히 개인적인 소견이니, 오해나 반문은 사절하겠다.. 1. 핸드왁싱시의.. 더보기

P21s 100% Carnauba Review P21s 100% Carnauba Review IMO, P21s 100% is the best boutique wax I have ever used. In the last 8 weeks, on clients cars that request wax, I have found myself grabbing for P21% more and more. I have used it "over" every pre-cleaner or glaze I have in order to tweak the look for my tastes. Product: P21s 100% Cost: 50-60 US Compared to: Pinnacle Souveran, PS21 (original), Zymol Ital, Zymol Vintage.. 더보기

Okay when we got the car it was somethi.. 더보기

E46 BMW M3 다른건 별다른거 없는데 스톤칩 제거하는데 스크레퍼를 잘 사용했네요, 특이하게도... 아이디어가 매우 좋은거 같습니다. 한번씩 도전해볼만 하네요. 훨복원은 보긴쉬운데 직접하기 상당히 고난위 작업인거같구요 ... 어차피 디테일링이란게 저런 세세한걸 얼마나 세심하고 효율적으로 다루느냐가 아닐까요 ? I have pretty much come to the end of my detail on my E46 M3, I have always taken care of the car by hand and probably like most, have learnt new techniques as I go. I started washing by hand, then bought the Megs 3 step process bott.. 더보기

FOAM & STANDARD SPRAY Meguiar's 32 oz. Bottle Tolco White Standard Sprayer Tolco Foaming Sprayer 벼르고 벼르고 기다리고 기다리다..... 결국 ... 폼스프레이는 계륵과도 같다고 본다. 물론 없어도 되지만, 있으면 괜히 좋을듯 하다.. 란 생각... 다른건 모르겠고, 카샴프나 APC 로 휠이나 휠월 같은데 쓰면 아주 제격이다. 국내에선 눈씻고 찾아봐도 없다.. 압축 폼 스프레이를 만들어 팔기에 샀지만, 폼세차 할일도 없고, 휠이나 휠월 부분에 쓰려는거니 그것도 좀 부담스럽다. 그간 예전에 사서 썼던 Meguair's Carpet Cleaner 의 용기로 잘 써왔따. 이넘도 얼추 거품이 난다.. 잘은 아니지만 일반 스프레이보단 좀 난다... 구지 거품을 써야겠나고 물어.. 더보기
