Detailing Thread [For Newbies][continued 3]

thanks for the info sir, now my concern will be what collinite or optimum will be for polish, glaze and for the last step.

You can try Klasse twins then 476 then OCW or Nanogloss. Just maintain it with a QD like Nanosliq. But if you wanna try the Microtex, Nanosil then Nanogloss (curing time 6 to 8 hrs) then Nanosliq. There are a lot of combinations.

What I do is inspect the paint first. If it's really filled with asphalts, I wipe it with kerosene to soften them then wipe off. Next is wash the car with quality shampoo. After that is I clay the car. It's up to you if you wanna wash the car again but in my case, I don't wash it anymore. Or you could apply a scratch remover first before clay. Next is wax. Better if you clean the paint first then polish then finish it off with a wax. It's a very long process which in my case, since I only do it by hand, it usually takes me about 8 hrs to do everything. Make sure you don't do it under direct sunlight and you will not use the car in between process since it will be filled with contaminants again.

For claying the car, the process is knead the clay, spray a liberal amount of quick detailer then rub it gently on the panel. Better do it in small areas. Be careful not to drop the clay coz it will pick up dirt that could scratch or mar your paint. In short, you should discard it if you drop it. That's why it's better if you cut the clay in half or by 3 just in case you dropped it, at least you still have the other half.

A lot of professional detailing shops offer claying. Big Bert's is one. For the price, just inquire. Or you could buy a clay bar kit at Blade. It's from Mothers and it costs 1,495. It would last you a very long time as long as you know how to take care of them.
