I'm planning to do a first serious detail on my 2010 GT500. Bought it new in Sept. The car is performance white with grey stripes.
I don't really feel like doing 85 steps (no offense to those who do).
Washed and claybar already last week, so now I was considering polish and sealant (maybe wax, but jot sure it necessary). If I'm doing everything by hand, is polishing going to do much? Car has some light swirls when the sun hits (from dealership washing, no doubt). Will any of the polishes (done by machine or hand) damage the vinyl stripes?
As for sealant, considering wolfgang, and figure wax might not be needed since it's supposed to last 4-6 months. Do I really need to wait 12 hours for curing? I wash at a place 15 mins from my house, and would rather be able to seal right after drying than risk getting dust/grit on it between the carwash and home.
Thanks for any advice.
