A grey utility towel works great, so give that a shot. 

 

What are you trying to clean? Have you already gone through a pack of erasers? Note the LIC is pretty strong, so applying LC after is recommended if you haven’t been using it. Or you could also consider ID and/or just LC for a gentler but still effective cleaning process.

Thanks for the heads up on the utility towel. I would be cleaning the full interior of my used 2007 Kia Sportage. I got it about 10 months ago and man does it need an interior detail. I have the LIC and LC as well. I also have the Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner and Odor Neutralizer. 

Greetings,

I have Adams Leather and Interior Cleaner with a pack of deep cleaning erasers. I am curious to know what else is recommended to clean with the product should I no longer have any more deep cleaning erasers or if I come across hard to reach places or sections where the eraser won't fit? 

@Raige93 thank you for your timely responses. I do have the LPS and I have Eagle Edgeless 500’s for my project.

@Raige93 thanks for the input. I do have LPS as well. For some reason I am a littler nervous about applying that by hand, or more so, removing it if I use too much etc. 

All:

I am curious to know if the below can be layered after a strip wash, clay bar, decon:

Revive Hand Polish

H2O Guard and Gloss

Buttery Wax

I was wondering if this was good plan since I should be able to do this all by hand before steeping it up to a DA and applying liquid paint sealant. I think it’d be good for me to learn this way over the warmer months and maybe get a good winter seal up going when I learn more about DA’s.

Sounds good! I’ve never done this before and I am looking forward to it, but, will also be watching videos for technique etc until I have the time and day to get it done.

@Raige93 Thanks for letting me know! I plan to apply the Paint Sealant by hand at the end of May. I have never applied anything before so I may do say, the roof first to see how that goes and then the rest of the car as per your application. Thank you!

The car looks amazing. I am curious to know if you applied the liquid sealant by hand and if so how did that process go for you? Easy, hard, long job etc? tia

2 bucket wash with Adams Car Shampoo today. Looking forward to getting my grand idea done when I get my wash/dry workflow down and I have the time, most likely Memorial Day Weekend I will go all out. 

Thanks

VRT is for Vinyl, Rubber, and Tires, not paint.  Just clarifying.  So it doesn't really matter when you put it on.  I do my tires, etc. last.

I'd apply it before you clay to help in case the bar hits the trim.

If this is the case should I then fully dry the car after the decon / rinse, then apply the VRT, then clay/rinse/dry before any exterior sealants/waxes?

Rich,

I got the idea of my procedure from watching this video. Did not know of Adams products until after purchasing the McKee’s.

Falcaineer,

Thank you for the detailed response. 

Curious to know at or after which pet of my procedure should I use the VRT. Does the below seem like I added the VRY part in correctly?

I just stopped by to say hello. I do not know about detailing and wanted to try a little hand waxing before buying or thinking about trying a DA. I will probably post my plan and a pic or two of my used cars finish to see it my plan will work.
