This was my first real detail with my PC, also it was the first time I used a claybar. First of all, I really understand how prep is everything in a good detail. The claybar got things out that I was never able to get out by ordinary washing. I spent the most time claying my car, but it made the subsequent process of polishing and applying sealant much easier. Also, for those who are hesitant to use a PC, fearing it might ruin your paint...there is no need to worry. It made polishing soooo easy and effective. Enough talk, heres the process and pics:



NXT Wash

Claymagic Clay

Vanilla Moose with a green propel polishing pad ( at speeds 3 and 5 with about 2-3 passes)

Sealed it with Wolgang Sealant

I treated the tires after the pics.



After VM (so easy to use in direct sun, took out lots of spiderwebs/minor swirls)

More VM ( I love this stuff)

After the wolfgang (easy to use, but I think eiter I applied to much or the surface was too hot, so I got minor streaking)

I hope to add a couple more coats of wolfgang, then sourveran.

Looks great! How is the slickness?

I like that combo alot on dark colors. Your car looks great by the way! On occasion, I switch back and forth between the Vanilla Moose & 1Z MP. Then there are times when I hit my truck with the P21S Cleanser before the 1Z MP or VM. If you`re ever in an "experimental mood" try thr Klasse AIO as your base for your sealant. Have you used the Souveran before? Incase you haven`t.......you`re in for a real treat. Souveran on darl colors will "flash" more than a "girls gone wild video" !!

Very reflective and wet...not bad for first time PC use. I would also recommend trying AIO at some point...

White95Max - The paint is really slick, between claying for the first time, VM, and WG the paint is real smooth.



BlkTac05 - I have never used Souveran before, looking forward to it. I have some P21S paint cleanser, but I wasn`t sure if I should use it before the VM. Would it be redundant or would you see a differece? LOL on the GGW video comment.



SilverLexus - I have some ColorX, which I hear is *similar* to AIO. Maybe I will give that a shot at some point.



Just looking at the car the next day, it seems like the car looks darker and wetter. The best thing is that the dust is very minimal. That is big for me, since I do not get garage access. I have soo many products, gotta figure out how to use them all. Thanks for the comments.

Very nice!



I`ve used that combo as well. Quick, easy and great results on paint that doesn`t need any deep polishing. :)

I got a comment on my car from a friend. For those that don`t know Acura/Honda Nighthawk Black Pearl has flakes that look like a really dark blue. My process from above really brought out the flakes, I had someone say "what are the blue shiny specs in your paint, where they always there?"
