Thanks for stopping by my thread, need some opinions from the gurus. This will be my third year doing my detail on my 2010 accord and I`m looking to mix things up in products and approach in terms of `paint correction` if you can call it that since I never break out an aggressive product or pad with my PCD 7424xp, nothing more than a polish (M205) has been used on my car previously to correct swirl marks and hard water spots. I quoted my previous thread that outlined my whole detail but specifically I`m doing a few things differently and wanted to make sure I have the right approach.







This year I decided to scrap using the Klasse twins and the M205 and am going to give an AIO product a chance to consolidate the AIO/Polish into one step. After applying that product, I was planning on applying a layer of Black Hole Glaze, then two coats of PB Sealant with Carnuba since I can apply 60 minutes apart. Lastly I ordered optimum optiseal and was planning on having that be my final sealant.







Applying the optiseal at this point was one part of the detail I was unsure about, should I apply this now, or prior to the two coats of PB sealant with Carnuba after the black hole?











In summary I plan on doing the following...







Wash with Dawn and Grout Sponge



Clay with ONR as clay lube



Quick Rinse to remove any ONR residue



Polish with PB Polish with Sealant with Orange Pad



PB Black Hole Glaze with Gray Pad



Two Coats of PB Sealant with Carnuba with Blue Pad



Optimum OptiSeal by hand



Wait overnight Spray and Wipe dust off



PB QW+by hand



Mother`s Reflections Advanced Top Coat by hand







If I should mix up the order at all, let me know. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post and give me some feedback.







Below is a quote from my detail thread from last spring.
