I want next week do full detailing on my car ( megane 2 2004 red metallic ).
because I don't have garage and shade , I will do this early on the morning
Until the sun come out.

I will do the full detailing each section on day , thet mean :
day 1 - hood : clay'polish'glaze'sealent
day 2 - roof : ^
and so on ....

how u recommend me to do this?

I have :
1. g220 v2 da + red;yellow;black pads .
2. ultimate compound + ultimate polish
3. black light + v7
4.black wax
5.citrus wash and gloss
6.clay kit
7. different Towels

I hope I don't forgotten anything

only driving in the car will be from the road park into Parking by the house.
 
Just do a rinseless wash on the panel you will be working on each day.
 
Just wondering since I have never used the Ultimate compound and polish. I am guessing your talking about the Meguiar's line.

Don't they have oils in them already and a day without a sealant will do no harm? Plus he can save the sealant glaze time to work on 2 panels per se?
 
i can apply "black wax " after each panel ,
and when i finish do the whole car , then apply black+ v7 meguires ?

i asking because , i don't have a lot time early in the morning after polish apply black + v7 because the sun come up , and i think thet to save time is to use the black wax and then when i finished the full detailing , apply the black + v7 .

what u think ?
 
I'm in the same boat as you PAG...

No garage and need to do things when sun is away..which is between 7am and 10am
and about 4:30 PM till mosquito's come out and hunt me ...

Your steps are correct , one panel at a time...but when are you going to use the DA?
I dont think your neighbors wont be to happy when they hear that thing in the morning :(

Wash and clay the panel your doing that day..should take about an hour
Then do polishing and sealing

i will do the wash and clay all the car in the same day.
in another days i will be do the polish with da , but you right
the neighbors wont be happy listen thet machine .

soo what to do ?

maybe do it in 7-8 am - 10 am ? but in this time , i don't have a lot time do the polish because the sun

i thinking maybe do it afternoon when the sun down but i don't have light in the parking car
 
My sun goes down about 4:30PM...gives me about 3-4 hours of polishing
theres enough light to see that I'm still on my car
your only going to do slow passes on your car anyway
then you can use a spot LED light or brinkman light to check your work

I was debating to get one of those pop up tents to work under ...but my wife will definitely commit me
