So I'm not new to detailing, but not an expert either. I consider myself intermediate.
This weekend I polished and coated my 911 with CQuartz UK, also coated my windows with FlyBy Forte. I topped the CQuartz with reload. This was my first time coating ANYTHING. I have tons of experience with sealants and waxes and always enjoyed the process. I decided to coat my Porsche, because I've come to the conclusion that I would rather spend more time driving than detailing. :coolgleam:
Here is my maintenance plan, please let me know your opinions please
- 1 car wash per week (minimum, sometimes two - this is routine for me)
- Every second wash or once every two weeks wash with HydroFoam, Spray Hydro2 and rinse off.
- Once every 6 months... Reset Wash, followed with Iron-X and rinse. Then reset wash with nano skin. Hydro2 and Rinse and top with reload (wet)
The goal is for the car to maintain it's coating for the next 4 years the easiest possible way while maintaining the glamour of a fresh coating w/ reload. All done through car washing and drying basically. I'm not saying I wont top the car with the occasional wax - be pointless or not - it would be done for my personal enjoyment. My idea with such a regime is to maintain the protection to its max, prolong the coating and minimal effort.
Why HydroFoam and then Hydro2? Well, just like with anything, it is always recommended to do 2 coats, in my experience, to assure complete coverage. I'm washing the car anyway, so why not do a HydroFoam, but in the interest of saving a buck, use it only once every other week or so (I guess it's my way of justifying overkill :doh
Here is where I need help:
1. Reset will NOT affect my coating, correct? Meaning it won't damage it in any way?
2. Iron-X, after Reset - how will it affect coating? It's some pretty strong stuff - find it hard to believe it wont affect the coating. Will it?
3. Okay to use nano skin on coating? With reset?
4. Iron-X Snow Soap, I have ZERO experience with this. Should I combine Decon and Wash into one and save me a step? Nano skin?
My FlyBy Forte questions:
1. Tips to maintain?
2. Glass Cleaner okay?
3. Should I top it with reload like the CQuartz UK?
4. Top it with Reload every 6 months or maybe 3? It's a windshield after all. Keep in mind it'll receive HydroFoam and Hydro2 on regular basis just like the rest of the car.
Thanks in advance everyone!!! :dblthumb2:
