    Need help with suggestions for my lizard green GT3rs

    I replaced my Ventura orange McLaren 570s with this 2019 lizard green GT3rs beauty.
    Just got done detailing it after my track weekend.
    I did a simple wash and would love to know of some products/steps that I can use that might give me better results.
    I did a rinse off using the pressure washer and then hit it with the foam cannon. Rinsed off the foam and then used McKees Sio2 car wash to wash the car. Used the leaf blower to get as much of the water off and then a complete dry off with towel.
    After drying I applied IGL premier sealant on it via spray and wipe.
    All of the black plastic trim was coated with Wolfgang trim sealant.
    Any suggestions on a different soap or spray sealant etc that you guys like better than McKees sio2 or the IGL product line?
    Not looking to get super intensive on the detailing process as I track the car often and it gets pretty dirty.
    I tried to copy and paste the photo of the car on this post from my iPhone and doesn’t seem to be working... how do you do that?

    Try importing your picture once again. I tried to look at the link and couldn’t do it in my browser. I don’t think others are seeing this either.

    How do you do this? I tried to copy and paste it from my iPhone from the photo library and it just shows a gigantic picture and when I post it it just shows up as a tenny tiny empty box?! ��`♂️

    Congrats on the P car! Excellent machine! Love them! (and Lizard Green!)

    I would perhaps look at another soap that is not Si02 infused...this could impede your sealant from bonding to your finish due to the Si02. Other than that, I think your maintenance process is very good.

    The interface is really bad for adding photos from an iPad. You have to click on Upload Files but it doesn’t look like a button. I circled below in red.

    The reason I was using the sio2 soap is because it specially said it was for ceramic coated cars and that it helps with drying (less spots) Is there a better soap to use?

    Wasn`t familiar with the IGL sealant. I though it was just a `normal` sealant. Just looked it up and it is `ceramic/Si02 type sealant.

    Your si soap is perfect for that!

    (should`ve researched prior to responding!)

    Try the Polish Angel stuff. Cosmic is excellent topper. Would also throw out Kamikaze overcoat. Both look great and have great protection.

    From what i read Premier may last a little longer but the other two perform and look better. I top once ever month or two so durability is not my main concern
