[QUOTE="Carbd86GT, post: 16080743, member: 15339"] Usually when I detail the car, I’ll do the traditional two step correction with a compound and polish and top it with a wax. I’ve used Meguires “Ultimate” series of products and they do surprisingly well. While I’ve always had great results this way, I wanted to try something a little less aggressive. Going into it, I tempered my expectations and told myself “the car will not be perfect” so that way I wasn’t let down with the results. Anyways, I’m very happy with the finished product! My procedure was as follows: - Pressure wash all the lose stuff off - Foam cannon with Purple Power RV & Boat wash - Contact wash with the same purple power - Chemical decon with Meguires pH neutral, color changing wheel cleaner and CarPro TarX - Mechanical decon with Meguires yellow clay - Wipe down with 10% IPA solution - Polish with CarPro Essence Xtreme Gloss used with Lake Country 5.5” and 3” White foam polishing pads (using a harbor freight DA currently, will definitely be upgrading this soon) - Wipe down with 10% IPA solution - Protect with CarPro Reload The combo of the white polishing pad and Essence did exactly what I wanted this go-round which was remove swirls and love marks while also enhancing depth and shine. There are still some light defects in some areas that I’ll give attention to next time with a 3 step correction. But I must say, Kona Blue is so nice when it’s clean [emoji3059] [ATTACH=full]1537042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537043[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
