(I posted this in another thread of mine, but it was off topic, so...)
I do not have much time too spend detailing my car, but would like a good enough detaling system that will keep my black Honda looking good.
As such, after reading through many posts here – I've come up with the following steps and products:
1) NXT wash weekly (twice a week during rainy seasons)
2) ScratchX (when swirls become noticeable)
3) Meguiars Cleaner Wax (once every 6 weeks)
4) Meguiars Quick Wax Spray (once every 2 weeks)
Ultimate Wipes are incredibly expensive in my country – but I've found reasonably good microfibre clothes (withstood the CD test) to use.
My questions are:
1) Are these products a good match?
Understand that Cleaner Wax is a 'combo' product, as such will not be as effective as using 2 separate products. Will Quick Wax Spray help the shine?
ScratchX + Cleaner Wax - overkill? Any other comments, suggestions?
2) Quick Wax Spray - does it bead or sheet? From reading up, I would assume sheeting is preferable for black cars, as beading stains would be an issue.
3) For the amount of time I'm planning to spend (see steps above) – is this about the best combo I can go for, Meguiar's only, and at reasonable cost?
My car's under 6 months old, so paint's in good condition (save for some swirl marks caused by the dealer and some instances where I was given a 'free' car washes during servicing
).
Any input would be appreciated!
