New Car - Silver Color - Recommndations ?

[lwing18]

I am looking for a relatively easy process to ext detail a new suv, with the ability to add protection and shine with multiple layers. I am not looking for the absolute best (which is different than my other cars).



I have used AIO and SG and Zaino. Both are great products.



However;



In the case of AIO and SG - I do not like waiting for curing time between layers. Otherwise great.



And, Zaino is expensive.....as I am doing an SUV and am not looking for perfection.



Using either Klasse or Zaino has provided great durability. What products and process would be reasonable for a new suv?



Also, any thoughts on whether to wait before waxing, etc a new car?

Don`t worry about waiting before you wax on a new car with factory paint.



I would suggest, for what you want to do, use something like Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection.

My first two suggestions would have been the ones you don`t want to use. Therefore I would recommend the following:



Wax- P21 or Optimum Spray Wax (lean towards this for ease of use)



Sealant- PB EX (very easy to use)

I`m new here but been doing a lot of reading. I read good feedback about using the Chemical Guys` EZ creme glaze combined with their M-seal for use on silver metallic. PPl seem to oooh and ahhh at the creme glaze. I`m thinking of ordering some soon and trying it out. The durability of m-seal is supposed to be really good too. I might even put 2 coats since you can layer their products easily after about half an hour.



I might top it all off with collinite 845 just to add a carnauba depth and for even more durabilty. The collinite is known as an extremely durable wax. Combining it with the durabilty of m-seal should be great for the upcoming winter.



I`ve never tried klasse aio or sg or Zaino but they seem really good. They are a bit pricier. Only thing about Zaino and sg is that I read they are more of a pain to apply. In contrast, ppl here all say that CG products are extremely easy to apply and remove and the fast curing is also a big plus.



Hope others who have tried these products already can help out more.

I would prep it well then used FK 215 and 1000P x3

lwing18- Two of our vehicles seem similar to how you`re considering your new SUV- they`re sorta beaters compared to our other vehicles, they`re kinda big, and I can`t always have them off the road forever to do a lot of layering. On one I use the Klasse twins and I`ll just apply the additional layers after each wash if I can`t wait to do a few all at once. On the other I use Collinite waxes and refresh it when it`s convenient.
