1st Detail on an 06 Black Nissan Titan

[stndinup]

I have been watching the posts on Detailing black cars but am now pretty confused. first Im not a pro Detailer. I basically need advice on the first washing/detail. The truck is Black Metalic, It has a protecion package option with paint sealent if this helps.

I would be doing it out side in the shade at best. The truck is too tall for the garage. I wouldn`t be using a machine for the final finish ( I have never used one before ). I have the washing steps down now I just need product advice.

I havn`t washed the truck yet, its still brand new.



1. Soap

2. Clay Bar? If needed what brand and procedure

3. Wax, application, coats, what brand. ( hand application )

4. Chrome wheel cleaner or polish?



Thanks in advance Guys.
