Hi everybody, this is my 2nd post but I have been reading olt of what you guys write. My question is this I have a new car xc90 magic blue 3 weeks old
I have been washing it with the 2 bucket and drying with guzzler then spray wg detail spritz one week and pinnicle spray wax the other I would like to put some WGdgps and top with souveran paste what can I use to clean off those spray wax as you can see I am a newbie with silly qs but willing to learn
 
I have read some post about members using a 50/50 alcohol wipe down, but I have never done that. You might want to do a search.
I used Klasse ALL-IN-ONE Klasse ALL-IN-ONE Polish 16.9 oz.
:welcome: I am sure some others will give you a lot of suggetions.
 
Thanks tonya I have seen the post ,some say 70/30 so I dont know which one
 
You can do an ISO wipe down (alcohol/ water 50/50). Or you can simply wash it, then clay with a fine clay such as Pinnacle Poly, Mothers, or Swissvax paint rubber (I would clay). Then apply your WG sealant, following cure times, then apply your wax.

Spray waxes dont last long either way.
 
tonya the Klasse aio is a polish right? I dont want to polish right now I just want to put some sealant and wax
 
Thank D&D so if I clay and ISO wipe down I should be okay, Ithink I will go that route
thank you both
 
You only need to clay or do the ISO wipe down. Both wont be necessary in this situation. I would just clay your car. Make sure you use plenty of lube and no pressure on the clay.
 
you see how much of a newbie I am ,okay I will just clay
Thanks again
 
Tonya and D&D took care of you :D. Give your car a nice clay and then seal, let it cure 12-24 hours depending on instructions, then apply wax.

Well... you really should do some prep work before you use a sealant. If you don't your sealant might not bond well. Plus, you will be applying it over contaminates (tiny particles stuck in your clear coat) So as D&D said you should clay, then use the ALL-IN-ONE, then your sealant, then your wax. I will get you a link.

Why don't you want to do anything before you apply the sealant. Is it cold where you live?

I live in NJ and yes it getting cold , the car is fairly new and is kept in a garage the paint is in good condition so I dont want to polish till spring so I will wash- clay-sealant -wax. Nice job maybe one day I will get as good as you (in my dreams) I am glad I joint this forum everybody is so nice:Picture:
 
Ok.. that is what I figured. Old man winter is knocking on your door. Hold tight until some others post. I am not sure what you should do. I am worried you are going to have some curing issues with the temp being so low. Hang on someone will be here soon. Do you have a heater for your garage?
 
no ,no heater just the warmth from all the AG product
 
I would prep it right. I would use a paint cleanse like Four Star Ultimate PreWax Cleanser to be even better base for the WDGPS. KAIO is also excellent...
 
You will need to let the product cure longer then. Swipe it with your finger, if it comes right off then its ready to be removed, if it streaks then it isnt ready.
 
You mean the sealant ,let it dry for about 1-1/2 hour instead of 45-1hour
 
Can I use menzerna fp085u instead of kaio i have a bottle along with wgdgps also can I use it by hand
 
The menz is a true mechanical polish, it's abrasive and I wouldn't use it wasn't needed. Klasse AIO on the other hand, is a chemical polish, which is to say, a paint cleaner. It's non-abrasive and it leaves a layer of protection on its own too.
