Good afternoon Autogeek members. I'm planning on taking my paint protection on my newly acquired Grand Cherokee to the next level this week by polishing it and finishing it off with CQuartz UK. I was curious if any of you had an recommendations on my planned process seeing as I want the best possible outcome for this Jeep. Ive polished my previous cars in the past, but I want this to be better than any of my previous paint correction. I also want to minimize the amount of new product I need to buy, so I will be using some left over products (which is where my main concern for recommendations lies) My expected process is as follows.
1) Wash the vehicle top to bottom with Chemical guys Honeydew using a TORQ foam cannon
2) Spray the whole vehicle down with Iron X and rinse after the recommended wait time.
3) Clay bar the vehicle while still slightly wet, spraying clay lube onto the paint to ensure proper lubrication through the entire clay-bar process
4) Wash vehicle one last time before proceeding to polishing
5) Dry the vehicle using a rigged leaf blower I have to remove all water.
6) Using a yellow Hex-Logic pad and chemical guys V32 Extreme compound, compound the entire vehicle to remove a few of the deeper marks in the paint
**This is where my concern comes in for recommendations**
7) Using a Hex-Logic Orange pad and a swirl remover from a local detail shop I've used in the past that works pretty well, polish the vehicle to remove any marks made from the Yellow pad and V32
8) Using a green Lake County CCS green pad and Wolfgang finishing glaze, go over the car once more to remove and polish out any remaining marks and give the paint some depth.
9) Spray and remove any polish dust and/or oils using CarPro Eraser
10) Apply CQuartz UK to the entire vehicle in 2x2 sections, allowing approximately 30 seconds of drying before buffing off with a microfiber.
11) After coating the entire vehicle with CQuartz, apply reload. (If I apply CQuartz to the whole car within the one hour window)
I was also planning on spraying Iron X and clay baring the glass, polishing it lightly at the end with the swirl remover to deeply clean it, and coat it with the CQuartz as well.
Notes:
I will be using a Porter Cable 7427 XP dual action polisher
I will have a friend of mine polishing the vehicle with me to cut down on time.
If anyone has any recommendations, let me know. Im mainly concerned with my pad/polish combos.
Thanks.
