Re: wich product
The short answer is you can use any Meguair's paint care product on the paint... the long answer is,
What do you want to accomplish?
How are you going to apply your products? By hand or machine?
One of the best things you could probably do and of course we're not there to see the car/paint but we've done this a zillion times so there is a preciedent...
Wash
Clay
Use a Dual Action Polisher to apply a cleaner/polish
Use a Dual Action Polisher to apply a wax
Stand back and admire the results.
Do you have a DA polisher like our G110 or a Porter Cable unit?
Do you already own some Meguair's paint care products? If so which ones?
When the car is clean, either after washing or wiping clean with a quick detailer, does the paint feel smooth and glassy, or does it have a texture?
Often times cars that are repainted will look GREAT but your sense of touch can pick up on some overspray that landed on the paint during the painting process.
Detailing clay will usually remove overspray and restore an ABSOLUTE smooth surface which shows up to your eyes as GLOSS.
