Ceramic Paste Wax?
Non Coated Car?
Yup
I'd not polished this car since 2012ish, and it was in need. I'd just put on a custom Big Brake Kit earlier this winter and had to cut and grind metal. Swirl Killer's 15mm and mini as well as my Rupes Nano where needed. Orange Foam Pad with Paint Correcting Polish followed up with a White Foam Pad and Paint Finishing Polish with a select few spots needing hit with the Heavy Correcting Compound on a Blue Microfiber Pad.
It's still winter here in the Northeast, well, the weather is, so she's still garaged for now.
First pic is after a first coat, second shot is after a second coat was applied seven days after the first. Very easy on, but tends to smear a bit when being wiped off. The video states to do only one panel at a time. The Ceramic Paste Wax hadn't completely dried when I'd begun to wipe the residue off. On my second coat I stayed one panel ahead, and found less smearing. Still, it wasn't hard to wipe off, just had to pay attention.
This shot was prior to polish and wax. Just wanted to show off the new BBK!
I've never heard of the 50/50 iso / water mix..... I hope I didn't cause any problems.
My process:
-Car shampoo then dry
-Detail spray / visco clay
-Revive hand polish
-Patriot Wax
In between the steps, I didn't do any rinsing, I assume I should have...eek.
I'm going to be going over the car AGAIN this weekend since I left out LPS and just ordered that....is it possible to detail the car too many times in a row? Lol!
