First of all, thank you very much for your help to find a car wash solution for my new Honda Odyssey. I ordered QEW and it is on the way to me.
Based on the the forum search and recommendations, I preliminarily set my detailing process: 1. QEW (with quick detailer) or separate quick detail after QEW 2. Clay 3. Polish 4. Wax or Sealant 5. Tire & Wheel 6. Interior & Glass.
For your reference, my car has Silver Pearl Metalic exterior, Gray interior (with black dashboard).
I would like to ask you to recoomend the right product in each category (other than QEW). Here is my preferences:
A. Easiest to use (I did not even wash my car of myself, yet)
B. Least possibility to damage car (when misuse/mis application)
C. Quicker time to finish the job (I might quit detailing if it took a lot of time...I need to see "wow result" with minimal time at first)
D. Performance (this could be top priority once I got used to detailing..).
E. Easier to get
Given the preferences, I have some questions and possible candidates in each category.
1. Some use QEW with QD, but others use them separately. What would you recommend? I perfer to mix it (because of time saving). Also, do I need to use QD everytime I wash the car? May I use QEW with glasses? (then, do I need to use Glass cleaner or not necessarily?)
2. For Clay: Which one is easier: Bar or liquid? What brand would you recommend (Sonus, DP, or else)? How often do I need to use? Do I need to clay as soon as possible, or I can do it when weather gets better(in spring)?
3. For Polish: Klasse all in one (with SG?), Wolfgang, Poorboy, Optimum car polish
4. Wax or Sealant? Again Klasses, Wolfgang, Poorboy, Optimum car wax? How often I need to use polish/wax/sealant?
5. Which wheel & tire cleaner? Which tool (brush) would you recommend?
6. Which interior (dash/carpet/leather) & Glass? DP total interior, Stoner invisible for glass?
7. Which MF towel for dry (Do I need three big MF...for wash, polish, wax/sealant?) Wash mitt (sheep mitt) or towel (terry cloth? or else)?
Where can I buy these products at a good price? I think ordering from one store can save the shipping. Sorry for long questions, and thank you for your help in advance.
