This getleman has two more cars for me. A 2003 Lexus SUV and a 1999 Vette (white)
The inside did take some time to clean up but didn't bother to take pictures.
interior
- woolite mix to clean carpet/plastic
- 303 to protect
- colorx on paint
exterior
- nxt wash
- autopia clay
- ssr2.5 for swirls/screthes (about 90% came out) on pc @6
- FK1 sealant on pc @5
- FK1 pink wax by hand with a yellow foam pad (recommended)
- AA on tires/rubber
we had a very nice mostly sunny day and not too warm. The paint was pretty oxydized and dry. The SSR2.5 changed all that. I planned to use SSR1 afterwards but the paint looked shiny, slick & was ready for a sealant I decided to use the 2 new FK1 items that I order a few weeks ago along with the decontemination kit(I want to try it on my car first)I applied both waxes under the sun even though the products are recommended to be used in the shade but the car was just warm, plus the garage is too small for me to use the pc.
The sealant is light blue and medium thick. The only drawback is that you have to pour it unto the paint and/or pad and you may get too much out (I'll need to get a different top). It has a pretty strong chemical smell to it. What a shine! I really liked how it made the red paint look. It was very easy to apply and remove. You have to let it dry before buffing it off. Next I applied the pik wax that comes in the same container as #16. Went on very easy, waited 10+ minutes while I took care of the tires/windows etc... (10 minutes wait is suggested). Removed it with a MF towel and a little Quick Shine so that I could finish sooner, but even under the sun it wiped off very easily as well. Consistency is like a sorbet that has been sitting out for a few minutes. Kind of soft and smells like chemicals. No fruit punch scent here! Ok, pictures.
