Cleaning paint on a new car

[imported_dickie]

Hi,



For a new car do you need to use a paint cleaner before applying Klasse AIO or Autoglym Super Resin polish, which I believe contain cleaning agents also.



Which of the following would you recommend as a cleaner / glaze



1. 3M Imperial Hand Glaze

2. P21S Gloss-enhancing paintwork cleanser

3. Meguiars Medallion Paint cleaner



Currently I am following the following regime :



1. Wash (once a week)

2. Remove any micro-marring/light scratches

with 3M IHG mixed with P21S Multi-Finish restorer (as needed).

3. Glaze with 3M IHG (every 2 months).

4. Wax with Blitz (once a week)



I am planning to replace Step 3. with Klasse AIO.

Does Klasse bond properly if you have IHG on your car ?



thanks

If you do a search on Imperial Hand Glaze, users will tell you that it is just a filler. It actually just gets removed by any AIO application (since it is a polish/cleaner).



Like you said, I would bypass that step and try 3M SMR for your swirls instead. If I`m not mistaken the P21S will remove fine swirls as well?



IMO, AIO does lay enough acrylic down for protection and a great base for Blitz, if you`re trying to go the value route.
