Hi all,
First off, i`m new to the detailing scene, I just got a new car and would like to keep it looking the way it is from the showroom...btw its a gunmetal graphite metallic grey colour.
I recently purchased a few products and they are:
1) p21s car wash, Meguairs Gold Class car wash
2) Pinnacle clay and lub
3) p21s paint cleanser lotion
4) p21s carnuba wax
the reason I went for p21s is that I live in an apartment, so in the carpark, there are no powerpoints for me to use a buffer. so everything`s done by hand. which in this case the p21s carnuba fits my usage (easy on easy off)
I plan to do the car probably every fortnight to say maybe once a month ?
The car is usally garaged, even when I go out, I insist parking in covered carparks.
I know that the carnuba wouldn`t last too long, would a month sound about right ?
my other question is, is the p21s paint cleanser lotion a kind of polish in this case ? and how frequent can I use it ? at this stage, im not too sure if it has a big amount of abrasives or not, so I intend to use it once a month together with the carnuba. Correct me if im wrong, is it ok for me to treat this as a polish before applying the wax ? and would frequent use of this cleanser lotion / polish be hard on the paint / clear ?
bear in mind everything will be done by hand, I will be getting a polishing pal to help make things better. are there any other polishes or waxes that you guys recommend ?
should I refrain from using the p21s cleanser lotion frequently ? and swap in another easy on -off polish ?
learning from this forums, there`s a lot of names frequently mentioned, like say zaino, seems like everyone`s having good experiences with them, but with a pc. what about products that are more "hand-friendly" ?
Would be great to have your recommendations.
Thank you all
Col
