Advice on detailing products

[sremick]

CletusTheDwarf - this is what is being recommended and there order of application so far



1. Car wash concentrate- P21S Bodywork Shampoo

2. Detailerâ€â„¢s clay- Clay Magic Perfect Finish Kit

3. Paint cleaner- Meguiarâ€â„¢s Medallion or Klasse All-In-One

4. Polish â€â€œ Meguiarâ€â„¢s ScratchX

Doesn't this go against what MongooseGA said?

If it's a polish (as in, actually removes swirls) then you'd use it before AIO. Using it after AIO (AIO leaves behind protection and a good base for any additional product layering) will remove the layer.

You're suggesting using a polish after AIO. TOGWT suggests using a polish before AIO. Which is it?



I'm so confused

Sorry TOGWT but it sound weird to me too.:hm

Can you explain your point there so we can understand.

5. Glaze-*

6. Polymer sealant-Meguiarâ€â„¢s NXT Tech Wax



NXT Wax contains a cleaner, which will clean up after the polish and AIO will clean up after the clay...not so weird

OK I didnt know NXT contain a cleaner. That make some sense now.

So using ScratchX after AIO doesn't remove the benefits of AIO? I guess because AIO is a "polish/sealant" I imagine ScratchX taking AIO right off.

Just to confuse the heck out of you, I would Never use AIO before the polish. I would remove all swirls and marring and THEN use AIO.. Thats how I was taught.
