Hi,
I’m new on this forum and new to detailing. Detailing my car has become an obsession for me lately and I’m happy that I found Autogeek. There’s a tremendous amount of information here.
Until about two months ago, the extent of detailing my car involved paying $7 for a touchless car wash every couple months and running my shop-vac through the interior once a month. Maybe once a year I’d clean the inside of my windows. Now I’ve adopted the two bucket system for washing and properly dry after washing, I clayed for my first time last month (amazing) and applied some P21S carnuba wax (also amazing). I also have an extensive collection of microfiber towels. My wife thinks I’m crazy. She’s probably right.
I live in New Hampshire and unfortunately I have to think about winterizing soon. I’d like to polish and apply a longer lasting sealant. I haven’t polished or used a sealant yet. Based on positive reviews and ease of use, I’ll be using:
Klasse All-in-one polish
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealeant 3.0
My questions:
1) Is this a suitable polish and sealant combiniation?
2) Can I put a coat of P21S on top of the WDGS 3.0 immediately after or do I have to wait for it to cure for 12 hours first?
3) I know Wolfgang sealant can't be exposed to moisture for 12 hours but how concerned do I have to be about temperature? I'll likely wait for a warmer day (50's) to apply but it could certainly get into the 40's during curing time.
4) I do have some fine scratches in my clear coat on the passenger side. The scratches run the length of the car. I believe someone rubbed up against it or something while it was dirty, not sure. The scratches almost disappear when I apply wax but eventually come back. What’s the best product to use to remove these fine, clear coat scratches permanently? Would I do this before or after applying the Klasse?
I have a 2014 Subaru Outback. I’ll be doing everything by hand…for now anyway.
Thanks for all your help and responses.
