Product sequence

[BCS996TT]

Can someone confirm if it`s ok to use these products in the following order? Im striving for minimum detailing time.



1. DACP

2. 3M PI III MG

3. S100



Does there need to be something between steps 2 and 3? I`d rather not go crazy with Klasse AIO and SG, so if there is something else that can be applied rather easily, please let me know.



Thanks!

How are you applying, by hand or machine? If by machine is it an orbital or a rotary?



Is the car in bad shape, lots of scratches and/or swirls/ Dead paint?

I don`t know how strong PI III MG is, but I almost always follow DACP with 3M SMR to take care of any hazing, which is usually minor. The finish is then ready to wax, although I like to use PPCL before waxing, it adds just a little bit more shine.

You`re fine! If the finish is somewhat questionable, the DACP will resolve it. You COULD just wax after DACP since it polishes after cleaning when broken down.



I used close to the same on my SC430. I followed 3M PIII-MG with Menzerna-FP on a grey pad to burnish the finish. The 3M PIII-MG will leave a nice gloss and ready for wax.



If you`re skipping any clay work, you do run the risk of whatever the DACP knocks off get`s into the pad and finish ultimately. I`d really wash, dry, clay, wash again, dry again & polish. Skipping claying can be VERY risky when going to polish after just a wash.



Other than missing clay work, it looks fine!
