So I am currently acquiring my Adam's Arsenal to do my first full detail using Adam's products. I still have a few more items on my list to complete my supplies for now but the question I have right now is primarily on sequence and layering. I have detailed my vehicles in the past but never using more than a couple layers. I am not interested in adding a polisher to my collection yet so here is the process I have come up with so far:
Presoak body with 6:1 Rinseless Wash. Wash wheels with Deep Wheel Cleaner & tires and fender wells with All Purpose Cleaner.
Pressure washer rinse then 2 bucket strip wash with Car Wash Shampoo and ~3oz All Purpose Cleaner. Rinse afterwards.
Wipe with Detail Spray and plush microfiber.
Clay Bar with Detail Spray or 32:1 Rinseless lube.
Remove residue with quick 2 bucket wash and dry with Great White Drying Towel
Revive Hand Polish with Blue Hex Grip Applicator and plush microfiber.
1:1 70% Isopropyl Alcohol wipedown.
Liquid Paint Sealant on painted surfaces with Microfiber Applicator Pad and plush microfiber.
Super VRT on tires using Hex Grip Pro Tire Applicator and trim using Block Applicator while allowing LPS to cure. Invisible Undercarriage Spray inside fender wells; wipe with old towel.
Brilliant Glaze with Red Hex Grip Applicator and plush microfiber.
H2O Guard & Gloss with damp plush microfiber and dry plush microfiber. (Entire truck including wheels)
Buttery Wax with Yellow Hex Grip Applicator and plush microfiber.
Glass Cleaner and Glass Sealant on exterior glass and Glass Cleaner on interior glass using Microfiber Glass Cleaning Towels.
The questions I have are:
Is Revive > Brilliant > LPS > H2O GG > Buttery too many finishes on top of each other or will this lead to a deep shine with a high level of protection?
Because I will not be using a machine, I have not included any paint correction or paint finishing steps. would it still be beneficial to do these by hand as the truck has not had a serious detail before?
If I do add these steps, I believe the Orange Hex Grip Applicator is to be used with Paint Correcting Polish, but what should be used to apply the Paint Finishing Polish?
If I do add these steps, do I simply correct and finish before doing the Revive Hand Polish? Or do these steps replace something I have on the list above?
