Good morning,
I know this has being asked a million times, but hey I'm sure another won't harm... Currently I'm 'old school' in my detailing methods in such a way that I'm still using products that I originally purchased nearly ten years ago; Dodo Juice Purple Haze, Meguiars 80 Speed Glaze, Meguiars 83 Dual-Action Polish, Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover, 3M Clay Mitt, etc.
I want to give ceramic coating a go, so with it I thought I'd utilise the opportunity to update my detailing selection. In bold is the steps I'm going to take, and below that are the products I was considering using.
Decontaminate
- CarPro Iron-X
- CarPro Tar-X
- 3M Clay Mitt
Polish & Prep
- Meguiars 83 Dual-Action Polish
- Orange Firm All-Round Pad
- CarPro Eraser
Sealant
- CarPro CQuartzUK 3.0
- CarPro Reload
The first car I'll be doing it to is my Porsche Cayman, so harder German paint and the car can be stored in a large garage during the whole process. I'll be using a Dual-Action polisher and ideally would prefer to just carry out a one stage correction.
Currently the paint condition is really good, there is a small hologram on the upper of one rear quarter that needs taking out and the rest is just very light swirls you get from washing a soiled car. Its a daily driver, not a garage queen hence why wanting to protect it with a more durable sealant that'll make winter washing easier.
So the big question is; can you recommend any other products to the above? If so please give a bit of a reason why (i.e ease of use, more efficient, etc)? I'm very open to changing the above selection, and especially interested to hear of alternative polish / pad selections, as well as other easy to use ceramic coatings.
Thanks for any advice you may have to offer.
