Alright. I have a `99 Accord, and am looking to detail my car properly once I finish this semester at school.
It has a few scratches here, and there, with a few deep ones at certain spots. The two deep scratches (where it`s just solid white) are the only ones that I can think of. One is on the sideskirt, and the other is on the passenger side of the front lip. Those were the areas that I was going to use touch-up paint for. Other than that, there`s just minor surface scratches that aren`t visible until you get up close.
The only oxidation that is present is a small cloud above my passenger side door. I`m not sure how to combat that properly just yet.
I have a 6" random orbital buffer, so no worries about the elbow grease. The buffer came with a terrycloth, and wax applicator bonnet. I also purchased a polishing bonnet made out of lambs wool.
Anyways, I bought the Werkstat Acrylic Series Kit a while back, so how does this order of operations sound? WERKSTAT Detailing: Werkstat Products (http://www.werkstat.com/products-werkstat.php)
Touch-up paint (allow to cure for a few days)
Satin Prot (interior)
Wash
Prep Clay
Polish
Acrylic Prime
Acrylic Jett Trigger
Acrylic Glos
Wash (again)
Wax
I need to decide on a polish (or polishes), and a wax. I`ve never used a polish before, and the only wax that I`ve really used is Meguiar`s NXT (original version), which I have had no problems with. Any recommendations, though?
Thoughts, or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
