So I have been out of the detailing game for 10+ years and I realize my process my be pretty dated, so is there anything you would change?
Step 1: I start off with with washing my car with the two bucket method (going to use grit guard now that I have learned about it) using meguiars gold class car wash. I use Eagle One A to Z wheel cleaner for the wheels and Stoner`s Tarminator for the bugs on the front.
Step 2: Once fully washed and rinsed, I clay the entire car using Meguiars clay bar and showtime quick detailer. As I clay, I make note of all defects I need to fix in the paint.
Step 3: I fully wash a second time using the process as step 1.
Step 4: If needed, I will use my PC 7336 and Poorboys`s SSR 2 or SSR 1, depending on how bad the defects are. If I use SSR 2, then I will use it with a LC Yellow flat pad, then stepped down to SSR 1 with a LC Orange flat pad. I would use a MF to remove product as needed
Step 5: I would quick wash and rinse to remove left over product
Step 6: I apply Klasse All-in-One with a LC White flat pad to the entire vehicle. I used a MF towel to remove the haze.
Step 7: I apply Klasse High Gloss Sealant with a LC Black pad to the entire vehicle. I used a MF towel to remove excess product. I would wait 24 hours and apply a second coat.
Step 8: I applied 2 layers of Poorboy`s Natty blue paste wax with a different LC Black pad. I used a MF towel to remove the haze after each application.
I would apply Natty`s for the 6 month as the beading got worst, always applying 2 coats.
So I know there are better products now, but is the process at least a decent base to start from? Help/Advice needed and wanted.
Thanks
