Ultima'd 2006 Toyota Corolla

This is a detail of a my mother's 2006 Toyota Corolla. The car had not been waxed in approximately one (1) and was in dire need of some care. I had the opportunity to give some of the new Ultima product line a test. I used the Ultima paint prep and found that this polish has a very long working time and is pretty easy to use in the sun. The LSP was the new Ultima paint sealant. I found this product to be very similar to OS and Zaino CS. However, one thing I did notice is that the product had no "grab" on the paint when applying via a foam app.

Detail: 4.5 hours

Wash with Megs NXT wash soap and 1 oz of Purple Power to remove tar
Clay with Clay Magic clay and soap lube
Polish with Ultima paint prep via PC and Green Sonus pad
LSP with Ultima Paint Sealant
Interior cleaned with Megs ID
Glass cleaned with NXT Glass Cleaner
Tire and wheel wells cleaned with Purple Power 10:1
Wheels cleaned with Poorboys Spray and Rinse 1:1
Tires dressed with Megs Insane Tire Spray

The lines of the car make it one of the easiest cars I have ever polished.

Very easy to do

Looks like new. Your Mom must be very happy.

Is the paint prep/polish abrasive?
