P21S GEPC after Claying ?

Hi,



I'm gonna clay my 1 month old Alfa 156 for the first time this weekend (using claymagic kit). There is a fair amount of contaminants on the paint after washing, so I reckon claying is a good idea.



1) Should I use P21S GEPC after claying ? Any advantages to doing this ? I image as I will be using a resin polish later, that the oils it add will be removed.



2) I plan to apply Autoglym superesin polish & extra gloss protection. As this is a resin, should I wash the car after the P21S, so that bonding can take place properly.



3) Between washing and polishing, how many times do I need to wash the car. So far I have counted 3 times, 4 if I use a SMR prior to polishing. As I can only see the marring under halogens, I might skip the SMR though.

Flaccus, I have not used GEPC but my guess is that the Super Resin Polish will remove it. I would wash and clay, then wash again to inspect the paintwork. If you feel that you need SMR, fine, but if your paint is in good condition follow up with the Autoglym.



Leave the polish on for a while, ie whilst your doing the interior, buff off and apply the Gloss, leave this on for at least one hour before buffing. Dont forget the Gloss can be layered and Autoglym also make a QD, although I have not used it, John Ross has and I think he liked it.
