Hi everyone! My name is Cole and I am in St. Louis, MO. I own a 2013 F150 xlt and I love it! My wife has an 08 Fusion. They are both pretty much stock, but i love to keep them at their best. I have been reading the product guides as hard as I can.
* Im thinking about the following process. Clay, sealer, wax.
Thus far I have been using "nu finish" wax, applied with a 10" polisher from sears a long time ago. Every 6 months or so. Looks like the 10" is not recomended, but i am not spending the upgrade money at this time on that, and will try and get by.
I feel good with the yellow clay i have picked out, there aren't any real scratches. And if there were, I am not prepared for that level of expertise, I just want a good long lasting shine. I understand that carnuba is the best shine, but i am searching for the longest lasting shine at this point. I dont plan to clay again for a year or more. my buddies over on f150ecoboost.net love the collinite 845. I am assuming using the DP sealer. Reading the forum it looks like Klasse sealer all in one and glaze are the longest lasting.
So what is the easist and longest lasting for a recreational user? I hope the two i stated are the best choices, and a third product is not brought up. lol Should i use the klasse all in one and top with collinite?

thanks in advance, i absolutely will appreciate and eagerly await your responses before placing my first order!
 
If you aren't going to correct the scratches, get a good glaze, and then top with Collinite.

Poor boys black hole is a great glaze for dark colored vehicles.

The Klasse AIO is good if you've never cleaned the paint, it'll remove oxidation and you'll be surprised at the shine. Not sure your 10" polisher will have enough umph to really work it in though...

So no. Never done any more than wax. The truck doesn't have any scratches as far as i can see. (unless you are referring to small ones not seen)

I saw the poor boys but:
1. Cherry Red, not dark red truck and fusion is gray. Thats why I thought it wasn't best choice. Correct me. It said dark colors
2. You have now said "glaze" i thought i would use a "sealer" after clay.
3. Will this last the longest?

Thank you so much. I will ultimately do what you guys tell me, just trying to get it straight.
Thanks for the help! Absolutely!
