On Labor Day, I washed the van in the morning and left the detailing for the afternoon. The plan was to apply the Pinnacle ASR, then AFP, then the Souveran wax. I thought I could finish the detail in under 4 hours, so I started at 3 PM due to other stuff I had to around the house. By 4:30 PM, it was obvious I wasn't going to make my personal deadline. At 7 PM, I quit for the day. All in all, I ended up applying only the ASR and AFP, and only to the hood and side panels (i.e. bumpers and rear panel left undone).
By the way, the ASR and AFP rock! 95% of the swirl marks are gone. There's a few remaining ones but they may be too deep for a single pass, or my PC technique needs improvement. In any case, I'm quite happy with the results.
So there's no wax on the car today. I'm at work, the van is parked outside and right now it's drizzling misty rain. I'm thinking of doing the wax for the next weekend after its regular weekly wash. Washing the car during the week is not an option right now, much less waxing it. What do you think I should do? Can I apply a quick detailer in the meantime? Should I re-polish the areas (AFP only) before I apply the souveran? Or should I just apply the wax on the weekend and not worry about it?
