What happens if you wash your car after compound??

[imz4n]

Wax is protection that needs to be reapplied3-4 times per year. Your choice.

ok...now I have a final question..(I hope this is final...)
This M205 polish... Is this ok to apply through the whole area or should be used only at the area where I did the compound?
M205 will not do something like M105 did to my car right?

so..1. small defected area with M105...
and 2. polish "THIS" area only with M205...
and 3. do the waxing the whole area with #20
or
1. small defected area with M105
2. polish whole car with M205
3. wax whole car with #20

which one is right way to do it?

I'm so frastrated with black car right now....hew...

it was me. I would compound the whole car paying attention to areas which have a notable defect ( doing the entire car will make it look all the same) . Then polish the whole car to remove any fine scratches and improve the clarity. the protect the corrected paint on the car with the wax of your choice. Adding the clay bar step before any of the others will improve the flatness and look and feel of the paint.

Your funny!
That's what the forum is for.
205 is my go to polish on 99% of my customers.
Most customers won't pay for a full correction on their daily drivers, so a light 205 polish works great.
205 was designed to follow 105 but it's a great polish that works by its self.
So polish away!

alright~! guys thank you so much!
imz4n, I think compounding whole car is not a good way since i only have small area defected..and I would keep original clear coating of my car as much as I can...
so,,I will go out now and buy m205 and @20 wax to make things work!
I will post photo showing before and after so other newbies like me can refer to..
again, thank you!

Just to note, #20 is a cleaner/wax.

So if you were to decide to #205 (cleaner/polish) the whole car, it could be a bit of a waste to go back over the whole car with a cleaner/wax. #21 2.0 / Nxt 2.0, or other favorite wax would make more sense.

21 or NXT over 20?
20 is the mildest cleaner wax ever
Cleaning of the paint is always a good choice.
That's the goal, clean the paint so it gives the best reflection
I 66 most cars just to make sure the paint is clean and polished we even after using a polish.
21 has more cleaners in it then 20.

20 is a great product and cleaning the paint after polishing is never a waste.
Just more thorough detail. Think of it as a final polish with wax.

Pretty sure #20 will have more cleaners than #21...
