Advise on best products for blue car

[uflraptor]

Well it’s time for “Spring Clean Up�. My car is a medium blue (not quite navy blue). Paint is in very good condition (it’s only a year old). There is some minor marring primarily from natural course of driving and I’m sure partially from the snow brush (got to love Ohio winters).

I have a pretty extensive inventory of PB products (PP, PWC, SSR1, SSR2, SSR2.5, EX, EX-P). I’m looking for some recommendations as to anyone’s favorite combination with these products. I intend to use Nattys Blue as my LSP in a week or so.

Thanks


P.S. I know it`s not a PB product but i also have some Vanilla Moose.

Once you remove the minor marring go with PWC+VM+EX-P+Natty`s Blue! You won`t be disappointed!

I`d go with SSR2.5 with a polishing pad, if needed where the snow brush caused marring, then SSR1 with a finishing pad, PwC by hand, EX by hand, Natty`s Blue ..this combo = Super Deep and Wet
Then again if you want it a bit brighter and wet, substitiute EX-P for EX and apply PwC, EX-P with a finishing pad and then apply Natty`s

It’s my understanding that it’s best to let the EX or EX-P cure for at least 24 hours before topping with Natty’s Blue or any other LSP. I will not be able to apply until the following weekend.

I know will obviously need to wash the vehicle next week before applying Natty’s should I take any other steps?

Steve might want to respond to this, but I would go over the vehicle with Spray and Wipe after washing to remove any possible water or soap residue. This will give as clean of a surface as possible to add the LSP

If you are planning on doing the car again before the end of the summer, 4-6 hours will suffice before the Natty`s, if not, then either a wash or wipe down with Spray and Wipe will be good

yup, that`s a good practice as soap residue can easily leave a haze and reduce clarity

We’ll it rained all day. Luckily it wasn’t to hard and I have a garage. I went with SSR1, PWC, and EX-P all applied by PC.

Turn out great. I’ve very pleased. I will attempt to apply Natty’s Blue this weekend. I’m kind of excited. First time using this product.

Another bit by the bug of Steve`s line-up...you really can`t go wrong...if you have the time and feel like it...put down two coats of EX or EX-P ....It helps to make sure the car is coated evenly...then after the cure time....Natty`s.....the neighbors will be asking you to do their cars
