Process question

[jswift2000]

Okay... I'm eagerly awaiting my products from Autopia to arrive on wednesday - UDM, DAS pads, SFX 2 and SFX 3 (I also ordered some IP). Here's my question - my first shot with the UDM will be a MBP MDX with very slight swirls. The car has never been to a car wash (the wife begged and pleaded but I've said no ) and always been topped with Z2 and/or Z5.

My process will be this -

- Wash with Z7
- Clay
- SFX 2 or IP
- SFX 3
- Z5 with zfx
- Z2 with zfx
- Z6 b/t coats

I think i'm sorted. Does this sound good?

Start with a polishing pad and see if it removes the swirls. If not step up to a more agressive pad. Remember to do a ISO wipedown prior to applying the Z just to make sure you have an oil free surface for maximum bonding.

Thanks. I'm assume when you do a wipedown with isopropyl alcohol, you just dampen a MF towel (would a coth diaper work as well?) and go over over the car? It would be first time ive done the isopropyl wipedown.

Thanks for the help.

Most mix isopropyl alcohol with some water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray it on the panel and remove with a MF. Let it dry before applying your sealant.
