Hey guys,
My first mistake was buying a black car (Accord in Nighthawk Black Pearl), my second was that I like to keep it clean, which could well turn into a part-time job.
I'm new to trying the 5-step program, hoping it would get me some lasting results. I recently did the whole GC wash, clay, UC (hand) and NXT2.0 (hand), but I skipped the Polishing step, primarily because I couldn't find the Deep Crystal System Polish at the retailers I tried (WalMart, PepBoys and Advance).
The results are very good, but lacking the deep, wet-look shine that I covet.
Anyhow, I've decided to buy a G110V2 DA (also have a couple of other cars) and I've been doing a lot of reading, but remain very confused on the difference between all the available products;
It seems that my choices are Pure Polish; DCSP, M03, M05 or M07, but how does (consumer) DCSP stack up to the (pro) "Glaze" products, and how do I decide what's right for me? I've also read some horror stories about M07 being difficult to remove.
If I go the Cleaner Polish route, there are even more products to choose from; M09, M80, M82, M83 and M205. From my reading, M105+M205 seems to be a popular choice among the pro's, perhaps replacing the older M8x products.
Bottom line is that I still have some correction to do. I could probably do another UC application via DA, or would it be better to combine this step with a cleaner polish, and then switch to a pure polish later on. What do the experts think?
Thanks for reading.
