Long post sorry!
So I had the day off today and decided I should try some of the new products I purchased from recommendations and information I gathered form the forum and had some questions. So first thing I did today was wipe down/clean both doors with D101 so I could test and decide weather I liked the finished look of Chemical Guys Silk-Shine or 303 better and came to the conclusion that the Silk-Shine was a little to glossy for my taste. First area I detailed after vacuuming was the back because my car is a coupe and I always do the hardest part of a project first. I cleaned everything with D101 and a microfiber first, didn't see the need to use a brush as the seats were already mostly clean and the cloth came back only very slightly soiled. Followed with Lexol Conditioner on the seats and 303 around half an hour later on all panels.
Here are my questions...
1. When using the D101 I sprayed on the cloth and directly on the surface. Is this ok?
2. Also sprayed Lexol on the cloth and directly on the surface and followed with a dry cloth to buff out any excess. Is this ok?
3. Was I right to let the Lexol sit for half an hour or should I have waited longer/not waited at all ect...?
4. Also sprayed 303 on the cloth and directly on the surface and followed with a dry cloth to buff out any excess. Is this ok? Seemed like the 303 was a a little splotchy or smeary when dried but my technique may be poor.
Just looking for advice, any missing steps or problems with application. Please critique me till you blue in the face if you have to! Thanks.
