I had some free time so I cleaned up the wife's car and put some coats of sealant on it for the spring and summer.
No correction needed as no one other myself has washed it (I didn't even let the dealer prep it).
Engine didn't need anything as I had done that just a couple months ago.
Process:
Power washed
Foamed with CG Citrus Shampoo and 2 bucket wash with grit guards & microfiber sponge using CG Citrus Shampoo to try to strip previous coats of sealant (UPGP didn't want to come off easily).
Wheels, wheel wells and tires cleaned with DP Tire Gel and assorted brushes.
Dried with Cobra Guzzler.
Clayed with Pinnacle clay and ONR clay lube.
303 used on all exterior and interior plastic/rubber surfaces (including windshield wiper blades).
DP Krystal Vision glass cleaner.
Aquapel used on windshield after claying it and several wipe downs with DP KV.
Paint cleaned with BlackFire Gloss Enhancing Polish applied by hand with microfiber applicator.
Sealed with 2 coats of BFWD via G110v2 and LC blue pad, speed set to 3. Removed with Poorboy's DMT microfiber towels (my favorite MF btw).
Wheels sealed with BFWD.
Tires coated with Optimum Tire Shine.
Before:
Ultima Paint Guard Plus still beading nicely after a couple months.
Snow geese were always overhead.
Afters:
Interior just needed a quick wipe down as my wife keeps it very clean.
