So I recently took advantage of the PC deal here at AG that was part of the Poorboy's package. Got several PB products along with an orange pad, white and black pads. I also purchased Klasse AIO.
My wife's Nissan Rogue was due for a detail and I recently got the urge to try out some of these advanced methods, hence the reason I'm here. :) It had been about a year since I last clayed and applied Rejex by hand to her Rogue. No other wax or sealant since.
So I did a 2 bucket wash, P21 on the wheels, got her all cleaned up.
Next I clayed using a Mother's detailer as my lubricate.
Then I had a decision to make. I had both SSR2.5 and SSR1 in the kit I bought along with the Klasse AIO so I decided to do a comparison on the hood. One section I did SSR1 on an orange pad followed up by AIO with white pad. Right next to it I did only AIO using a white pad. I decided not to bother with the 2.5 as the car really didn't have any bad swirl problem. Just tiny surface scratches. Anyway, I was surprised how good the AIO did on it's own. To the eye under light, I didn't notice any difference with the 2 step vs. the 1 step AIO with white pad. So I decided to save myself a bunch of time and did the whole car with AIO.
Tomorrow I'll give it a quick detail before I apply Natty's blue paste.
So I was wondering if I should have noticed a difference with the 2 step process. Was I doing something wrong? I did notice that the AIO on the white pad did dust quite a bit. I was constantly taking my microfiber and wiping off dust everywhere. Was this a result of not using enough product or buffing too long?
On a separate note, I want to use something to darken her wheel wells. Will the 303 spray work for that? I had bought that for the interior but wondered if it would work on the wheel wells.
So these were just a few of the questions I had after my first foray with the PC and these polishes. Thanks.
