In interest of my wallet, I'm going to reach out to you guys to help me decide on which products I should pick up.
First I'll tell you what I'm looking to accomplish...I have my daily driver (2014 GMC Sierra) and several summer vehicles (ZL1, Z06, and some classics) that I'm looking to maintain. The summer vehicles don't go out on any but the nicest of days. But the daily is out no matter the weather and here in MI we can get some nasty conditions of melting snow, salt, road grime, and lots of beat up roads. I take as good of care as I knew how in the past, regular washing, spray wax on all surfaces with hand wax on main areas after every wash. But as noted I'm looking to go further.
My Sierra, ZL1 and Z06 are all white. None of the summer vehicles have swirling worth noticing, but my Sierra has gone through a few dozen car wash tunnels and does have swirling/paint spiderwebs if you look at the paint in direct light. I'm looking to strip, clay, correct, and seal my vehicles. However I'm not sure if I need to do all of that at once (Would be looking at $400+ right off the bat). I'm thinking I'll just get the clay and sealant for now and just wash the car as good as I can without an elaborate washing setup, clay it, and seal with LPS and maintain the seal after each wash with H2O G&G. Next year I'll grab the pads and compounds needed to de-swirl the truck and will start from the bottom again by stripping and correcting before resealing.
Basically:
Clay kit
Detail spray combo
H20 Combo
LPS Kit
Sound like a plan? What do you all recommend to get in the game and keep the daily safe as possible through the winter?
