Okay, I have been spending some time reading the boards and looking at various products. As of right now, I think I have an idea of what I want to get but would love some feedback before placing my order.
For background, this will be for my 2006 Scion tC with flint mica color (metallic charcoal color, relatively dark) that is now a week old and needing a good cleaning already.
The products that I am leaning towards are as follows:
Poorboys Super Slick & Suds
4* Ultimate Clay combo (clay and lube)
4* UPC
4* UPP
4* Ultimate Gloss Enhancer
Poorboys Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner
Poorboys World Wheel Sealant
Poorboys Bold-n-Bright tire dressing
Stoners Invisible Glass
How does that lineup sound? Right now, my process would be something along these lines for the first detail:
Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner
Wash with Super S&S
Clay car
Wash again with Super S&S
Apply 4* UPC
Apply 4* UPP
Apply BnB tire dressing
Apply wheel sealant
Reapply UPP a few days later
Reapply UPP a few days later
Does that process sound acceptable? Is there anything that I am missing or would be doing incorrectly with that process? Someone mentioned to me that they thought new cars were not supposed to be waxed/sealed for the first few months to allow for curing. Haven't seen anything on the forums here so I am thinking that is not true. Comments?
The UPC and UPP will be applied by hand. I am assuming I will use a foam applicator to apply both products but what about the removal? Do I use a foam applicator to buff/wipe or a MF?
I am hoping to place my order soon so I can get the car washed before too much longer. I plan to pick up a few 5 gallon buckets to use for washing and will be using the 2 bucket method. Also, I need to buy a supply of MF and WW towels, along with wash mitts of some kind. Haven't decided on that as of yet.
Thanks for all the help and I appreciate any reviews/comments about my product selections or proposed process.
