This is my first post, grate place, and I am glad I found it
I did a lot of reading about detailing lately (here and elsewhere), but I have not done any serious job on any of my cars (washed at least once a week clan inside do windows condition leather wax my previous cars – but only with NuPolish). I have Graphite Pearl Honda Accord Coupe with almost no scratches (Has not been waxed yet). I am looking first for durability and than for looks J I DON’T want to add any scratches. Car needs to be CLEAN and protected, always was.
I have:
PC, Sonus DAS pads kit, Sonus Total Eclipse, Plexus Plastic Polish, Mequiar’s Deep Crystal Polish Step 2, Meguiar`s NXT Car Wash, Mothers Instant Detailer, Mothers Clay, Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay, Collinite’s 845 and 476, only 4 foam applicators and more than enough micro-fiber towels.
My plan:
1)Wash with dove (I don’t think I have any wax left but wellâ€)
2)Clay
I have two clays which one would be better for first timer, also I don’t have any lubricant –should I go with dove or NXT water mixture? What ratio should I use?
3)Wash with NXT and dry
4)Mequiar’s Deep Crystal Polish Step 2
I want to use PC to apply polish, use micro-fiber towel to wipe off, it would be first time, which pad should I use DAS blue or green, Is it OK to use green since I`d like to save blue for wax application. Which speed should I use 4,5? Not many scratches should I use foam?
5)Wash with NXT and dry (do I need to wash at this point)
6)Apply Collinite’s 845 with PC wipe off by hand.
Which speed is good 2,3? Which pad - blue? Can I apply Collinite in sun – I read it needs to dry before removal? Apply on the whole car than wipe off? Or WOWO?
7)Wash with NXT and Dry (don`t wash let it cure)
8)Apply Collinite’s 845 after 24 hrs
I have to do it right :hairpull , and this is grate place to get me on the right track.
thanks
