I would like some advice on what to do to each of my three cars. Here`s what I`m thinking and what I have so far.
1. `09 F150 Platinum, black - this is a brand new truck, and the one that prompted me to research detailing. I read a post on new cars that said I should start with clay, but I don`t really want to risk scratching it I`m thinking just a sealant glaze and wax, so I ordered some Klasse Sealant Glaze and Collinite 845.
2. `04 Lincoln Towncar - this is my daily driver and the beige color sems to be able to take on a lot of dirt before it looks dirty, so this one tends to get neglected. I planned on using the same Glaze and 845, but also ordered some Klasse AIO. I would consider claying this one.
3. `97 Jaguar XK8 Convertible, Arden Red - I just got this one recently (always wanted a Jag), and it`s going to need the most work - lots of road chips, scratches and swirls. Since I`ll be doing paint touch up and wetsanding, I ordered a G110. It was on sale on Amazon for $118 and they were offering another $20 off if you buy it with a Meguiar`s kit, so I picked up their NXT Wash and Wax Kit for $26. I don`t know if I`ll even use it, but I couldn`t pass it up for $6. I also ordered some LC orange, white and grey pads. I read the post on fixing chips and he used SFX1 and SFX2. I`ll order them, unless I hear differently here, but need to know what to follow it up with I saw in the table of Product Grades that the AIO is at the same level as the Sonus Paintwork Cleanser. Would that work? I haven`t seen anyone using SFX3 is that needed?
Any advice would be appreciated.
