I have begun the quarterly detailing on the SLK. :awesome:
With the H20 restrictions in South Florida I used DP Waterless wash and then clayed and rewashed to remove the residue.
The car has the hard ceramiclear coat I used the"M company's" product designed for Mercedes (that I hope someday AG will be able to carry) and an orange pad. Almost all of the Spiders came out. There are a couple of slightly deeper scratches (Not noticeable w/ fingernail). Is it possible for me to use a more aggresive pad (4in) and spot treat those areas or is that harmful?
I am thinking about using the grey pad and applying DP sealant and then a coat of Pinnacle liquid and finally two coats of Souveran. I understand this wwill take a few days to finish so that the sealant can cure for 12 hours and for the poly charged liquid wax to cure.
My questions are:
On a black metal flake car does it make since to use the sealant or should I just glaze, then wax?
Should I glaze before or after a sealant? or can you even do that?
Does it make sense to use Sealant, then galze then Liquid Souveran and finally Souveran or are all those steps overkill?
Thanks for your help and sorry for the rambling post:cheers:
