    Looking for something different

To recap, I have a fully restored 1968 Camaro with paintwork around a year old now. For the last 9 months or so, I have been using the following products: - CG Citrus Wash and Gloss...

    CG Pete's 53 vs CG 5050

    Thanks guys, I have decided to keep the 5050. It is the silver tin, so I guess it is the V2?

    CG Pete's 53 vs CG 5050

    OK, so I placed an order for some Chemical Guys products for my Camaro (new BC/CC paint, light metallic blue w/pearl). The plan was Wash > Clay > Blacklight > Pete's 53 > Hybrid V7 (all by hand). Only thing is, I received CG 5050 instead of the Pete's 53. Should I return it and get the 53? As...

    Sorry guys, self bumping as I am still hoping someone can chime in with some feedback to this. I am very clear on all the paint detailing steps, bar this one (between Clay and LSP). With new, good condition paint, is it OK to wax a freshly clayed surface and skip the polish/sealant/glaze step...

    Thanks again for the feedback guys. I have a couple more questions. Is there any other products similar to M205 worth considering? What are the pros/cons of a polish (abrasive) vs. pre-wax cleaner (non-abrasive)? I understand one removes minor swirls while the other hides them, but are there any...

    OK, so here is another newbie product question. Given my situation (freshly painted car, hand application only, complete noob) what product do you recommend to apply between claying and LSP (DP Max Wax)? Looking to maximise gloss and shine. I was considering DJ Lime Prime Lite or BF GEP. Am I on...

    Thanks Psnt1ol for taking considerable time with that response. This is just the sort of info that will arm me with the knowledge I need. I understand your advice and I will try and provide some more background. The paint is in excellent condition as you would expect from a pro-paint shop...

    Car was painted 12 months ago. I assume 12 months is sufficient time to cure? Was told the paint (MIPA) is "soft"?

    I have been lurking here for a little while and I love this place! I am an Aussie who has just finished a 5 year restoration of a 68 Camaro coupe. I found Autogeek when doing a little research on how best to maintain new paint and I can safely say the detailing bug has now well and truly bitten...
