I started a full exterior detail 2 nights ago from 5-8pm and finished the following morning occupying another 5 hours. My process included a wash with Armoural car wash soap, Mother's clay bar, Ultima Paint Prep Plus, Menzerna Intensive polish at 1000rpm, Ultima Paint Guard Plus, followed by 1 coat of Mothers Cali-Gold paste wax. My finish is smooth as can be, but after further research, I've seen that I should've used the IP before the Ultima paint prep. Also, after applying the Ultima PGP and letting it sit for 6 hours before wiping off, should I have not applied the wax afterwards? Is the PGP supposed to be the final coat? I'll have pics this afternoon.

 

Heres some pics...

 

wow, great job. maybe I can do that this weekend.

 

wow man, the fact that you have a lighter color (compared to black) really shows how well all that work payed off. i remember when i first claybarred and it felt smoother than glass lol.

this thing looks like its all oiled up and ready to go tanning, i could only imagine how smooth it must feel.

 

Paint feels smoother that my windows right now, which also have wax on them. I'm very happy with the results.

 

nice job, looks like your work paid off

 

need to get my max looking like that one of these days

 

great reflection off that red paint...looks good

 

Thanks for all the comments guys, now for the interior.....another headache.

 

good job , if you clay the car do you have to use a buffer and polish and wax it ? Or it can be hand wax no problem?

 

Either/or....whatever you feel more comfortable with.

 

wow that is a very tasty clean ... Orbit.

 

very clean car! i love your wheels

 

very nice love the color came out very clean

 

Love your wheels man very very clean!

 

Looks very nice. Makes me want to go outside and start on mine.

 

That was a month and a half ago and its filthy now hahahaha. I haven't washed it since that day so maybe this weekend I'll throw some soap on her and see if she looks just as good again.
