Yup, that is pretty much exactly my plan, except I am using TRIX instead of Iron X + Tar X to do it in one shot. As stated previously my plan is Carpro reset wash, Trix and then another Carpro reset wash. Then I'll see where I am at. If it still wasn't beading I would do a mild clay plus...

Yeah it's no biggie if I have to clay I was just would prefer not to, because it's one less step and also no chance of marring etc.

Yes, possibly clay. Depending on the results I get from the reset and trix. So your recommendations for Clay is basically every bar that AG sells, but a preference toward the Meguiars kit??

You are right you didn't say it, but I assumed it since you suggested claying and polishing. Actually what I am leaning towards now is trying TRIX instead of Iron X to cover all my bases in terms of decon. Plan as of now: Carpro reset wash. Trix Another carpro reset wash. Possibly clay...

I'm pretty sure it's not beading at all, not just after the wash. But thanks for the tip.

Just curious why you think IronX and Reset wouldn't do the trick? If it doesn't what about trying Optimum Poli-Seal?

I want to try and do this without any abrasives first, including clay. So I think for now I am going to try CarPro Reset and Iron X. Anyone know who has the best price on it?

Thanks this sounds good, but I am a little confused. Are you saying I should use CarPro Reset AND an APC like Power Clean together in doing a thorough wash or can I use just one or the other. The Iron X I was thinking about because I liver near and cross over railroad tracks almost every time I...

It was Opti-Guard, the professional version. He is an authorized installer. For the record it's only been about 5 months. I washed it when spring broke but just finally getting around to asking the question. With regards to a polish, here are my concerns: 1.) If I use anything with abrasives...

Yeah let me know how that works for you. I was also thinking of trying a wash with Optimum Power Clean but I am not sure exactly how to use that on the paint finish (What ratio and the specific procedure)

I would certainly hope so after only one year when it's advertised as a permanent coating. Plus I had it professionally done by an authorized OC installer. Nothing at all abrasive has been applied to the finish. Just a few basic hand washes with car soap and chenille microfiber mitts. There is...

I had my car professionaly Opti-coated a tad over a year ago. Car is outside 24/7, was not washed all winter and it's not beading at all now after doing a standard hand wash using Mothers California Gold car wash. Car must have a film on it that this wash isn't taking off. Suggestions?

lol, cheers m8, and of course it's a GT, with 4 different sets of wheels tires: 2012 GT premium Black/Saddle, Auto, HID's/security. Boss 338's, 20x8.5/20x10 w/Nitto Invo's and 4 18x10 Forgestar Titanium F14's with Conti DW 285/40's on all 4. RTR 19x9.5's w/Conti DWS 275/40/19's on all 4, and...

Thanks for the feedback. Seems we are surrounded by a bunch of ego nazi's, or is it just me:confused:

I think you need to relax my friend, I am not calling anyone out.

I don't understand why anyone would think using a foam gun or cannon with snow foam would strip a wax off the car. The foams like Honey Dew are specifically stated to be safe in that they won't strip waxes and sealants.

See post #25.

Which is what the product is specifically designed for. I'm not saying you are the other guy are wrong, I just don't see how this foaming soap wouldn't loosen dirt and lubricate the surface.

Yes, I've moved on from thinking I can do it with a power washer only, and have decided to still use my wash mitts and 2-bucket method with grit guard. What I am working on now is figuring out what to do before i get to that point: 1.)Just an old fashioned rinse down with a hose. 2.) Pre-soak...

What is lsp? loose surface particles? So you are saying all the foam claims such as CG Honey Dew's claim about loosening and encapsulating dirt particles is totally bogus?
