I have an 1998 Acura in black and it needs to be detailed just to get rid of some of the minor imperfections and restore the shine since it's parked outside, not planning on using a large budget for this as i don't need a " click and brag " type of detailed shine.
I've looked at icanpolish and some of their products are too confusing for me since there's so many types and autowerkes is too far from me as much as i'd like to help RS sponsors but CT has the convenience factor.
This is the condition of my paint (not washed), these are not through the paint (doesn't catch my fingernail when I run across it)
I've been doing my reading and I just want some final insight on my steps/products but step 4 is where i could really use some help.
I don't have a buffer, so i'll be doing it all by hand. I don't plan on waxing often (2-3 times a year). Anyways this is what i've gathered and any insight is appreciated.
1- wash - meguiar's crystal car wash, 2 bucket method +gritguards + MF washmits
2- dry - MF towel
3- clay - meguiar's clay and Quik Detailer
4- polish
5- wax
OPTION 1 -
Meguiar's Step 2 Polish Meguiar's® Step 2 Polish | Canadian Tire
then follow with Meguiar's Step 3 Wax Meguiar's® Step 3 Wax | Canadian Tire
However i've read that polishing by hand will require PLENTY of elbow grease so the alternative i've looked up is the meguiar's NXT wax which helps hide imperfections and swirlds.
OPTION 2 -
Meguiar's NXT Wax
Liquid
Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax | Canadian Tire
Any insight is appreciated!
