I usually clay, medallion paint cleaner, Omega Glaze and then wax with Blitz - all by hand.

Sunday may be the last major exterior detail until next spring.The car is in excellent condition with minor scratches and minor swirls.

I plan on breaking out my PC for the first time on my bimmer.



Plan:

1. Light clay

2. Meguiar`s Medallion Paint Cleaner with 8006 pad

3. Meguiar`s #7 Show Car Glaze ( by hand or 8006 or 9006 pad?)

4. Brand spanking new jar of P21S wax I just ordered (by hand).



I may pop in some Meguiars SMR if needed but surprisingly enough the Meguiars site didn`t recommend it - only the Medallion Paint Cleaner which I didn`t think was enough of a polish.

Hopefully the forecast hasn`t changed but winter is definitely in the air here.

Thanks guys!

Cause my experience with P21S is that one coat is not nearly as durable as 2 coats. I did 2 coats this summer about 4 weeks apart after the first coat showed significant wear in very hot weather. The layered coat has survived beautifully for over 2 months even in a lot of rain. I would try to get a second coat on a week or 2 later if you can.



Carnaubas are really strange in that the coat will deepen after being on the vehicle for a couple of weeks. In my view, that`s when the cure of the first coat is complete.
