    Hows my yearly car care program?

    Just want some opinions on how I can improve on my yearly car care program. Please note that this is only for the exterior of the car. I have a black G35 thats about 2 years old. Its in great shape, just some swirls and minor scratches here are there. Any suggestions on products or procedures is greatly appreciated!

    Once a week = Wash car and rims, dress tires with eagle one spray, spray wheel wells with tire foam = two bucket method with Megs Gold Class or QEW, dry with waffle.

    Once a month = scrub tires with simple green, dress exterior vinyl with Vinynex, clean wheel wells with simple green then dress with eagle one tire shine.

    Every other month = seal with EX-P, only one layer.

    Twice a year = clay, cut pad SSR2.5, polish pad SSR1, EX-P.

    When needed = AIO for glass and plastic lenses, metal clean chrome.

    anything I`m missing? suggestions? thanks!

    Looks great! I might put AIO in your polishing routine as a base for the EX-P. And add a QD that fortifies your protection, maybe 4*UGE

    thanks for the suggestions!
    so if i do incorporate AIO it would be =

    SSR2.5 (trouble areas)
    SSR1 with polish pad
    AIO with polish pad
    EX-P by hand or finish pad

    or can i skip the SSR1 step? I`m thinking that i need SSR1 to get rid of hazing left by 2.5. I`m assuming the AIO is a chemical cleaner not an abrasive.

    I wouldnt not skip the ssr1 step. You have it absolutly right it gets rid of any hazing and yes aio is a chemical cleaner and not an abrasive. I guess im just repeating what you said but i agree with you.
