Was hoping to get some advice for detailing my daily driver. I purchased a 2013 genesis in middle of 2014. It sat outside at dealership for no telling how long. It's now kept in a garage, but I have done very little for the car since I purchased it (shame on me). The paint looks pretty good, no noticeable defects


I assume a fine clay bar treatment would be wise to do after washing. Will that provide a clean enough surface for an AIO? (was thinking, but not set on dg 105 applied with Blue or Black Hex-Logic pads)


I can't spend all weekend detailing my car, but want to protect it from the good old Florida environment.


Thank you for any suggestions/comments
 
Since the paint looks good & there are no noticeable defects then clay and an AIO should work fine for you.
 
Ok, Thanks.
Would Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer followed by Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 be a noticeable difference and worth the time and effort over Wolfgang Uber AIO?
 
Thanks Mike. Really appreciate your time and knowledge you share.

Its hard starting out, can't decide to do something a little more than a simple wash and wax, or jump all in, and do my best to produce showroom shine.
 
I would get something on your black plastic trim before that Florida sun turns it gray. Since you're asking about Wolfgang products, the Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant works really well and is easy to use.
 
I will definitely add that to my order. Thank you
 
For the protection I would use DP Poli-Coat Sealant available here at Autogeek

I bought my 14' Charger in the fall and applied this the next day after washing, claying and polishing. Great protection and beading.

If you don't want to spend alot of time on your car every weekend this sealant lasts up to one year!
 
Wanted to give an update:
Finally got some free time and detailed the interior of my car. Used Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel and Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant... I echo all the great things you read about the Cockpit Sealant! Not sure how well the cleaner work as the inside was clean, but it was easy to work with and left my hands very soft as others mention.

Have not done outside of car, but I decided to do an extra step or two and do it right. Will probably stick with wolfgang (polish and sealant) they seem to make great stuff.
