My first full exterior detail job lastnight and didn't finish until this morning when I put the last coat of wax on. 6hrs to do it all!
This is what I did:
Wash - OTC soap
Clayed - OTC Clay magic: seems to work well enough, paint felt very smooth and slick after use.
Wash - OTC soap
Swirl remover - Pinnicle XMT 1,2, or 3 : Did not dust up, Didn't get all the swirls out of the car but I may need to try a stronger pad. Pleasent smell to them.
Polish - Jeffs Werkstatt Prime:Strong : Started to see a nice smooth and "wet look" out of it after applying. Applying and removing product was very easy.
Sealant - Jeffs werkstatt Acrylic Jett: WOW, the metallic did "PoP" and I got a wet look that I've never gotten before with P21S. Very impressive stuff. Only downfall was that it dried and left streaking and took LOTS of elbow grease to wipe off. Next time I will take the product off after I finish a panel.
Wax - Pinnicle Liquid Soveran: I didnt get a sweet a slickness with the Sealent so I added this wax. It made the paint slick as can be. This is a very nice wax. It now hurts to look at the car when the sun is out. Very reflective.
Tools:
Porter cable 7336: First time using it, made applying wax and stuff so much more easy. Did have problems with my wrist hurting, but it was due to not holding it properly. No pain the second day I used it. Well worth the $42
Edge 2000 White, Blue, Orange pads: Pads are very good and I love the easy removable system it uses.
The Shmitt wash mitt: It was wierd using at first, didn't glide over the paint as easily as a normal wash mitt. Got use to it and love the backside for taking off bugs and tar.
Cobra Micro fiber towel: Very impressed with this drying towel, Didn't have to wring it out until halfway through the second wash. This damn thing can suck up water a lot better than my old shammy
This was in the shade after Pinnicle wax
Big scratch I can't take out. too deep. This is after Werkstatt Acrylic Jett
After pinnicle in the sun:
Here is some of the products I used:
The Before pic:
After sealent, waiting for it to cure to apply wax the next day:
