Re: Just another fan - Journey of a new detailer
Sure, those pads look like a good foam pad for any of the products.
A lot depends on your paint... some clean up easy, some take work. And then the type of defects. My car is easy to remove swirls from, but has picked up some stubborn water spots that need tackled in my spring detail. All you can do is get out there, and start on a panel, and see. Working by hand isnt helping of course. If it looks stubborn, then a panel a day...
What I meant was that if your paint ends up hard to work on, you may want to wash, clay, cleaner/wax real quick, and then just do the panel a day every so often type thing.
If you were going to be able to work each day on it, then wash, clay everything, and then UC/Polish/Wax a panel a day. I was thinking that if it may take a few weeks to get the time, then you may want to use the cleaner/wax to get some wax on there, and then UC/Polish/Wax when time allows. If that makes sense for you.
As far as getting dirty, just depends.... If it is dusty, some QD could be used on the panel you are about to work on. If it is really dirty, or been a week, you could just wash everything.
Generally, I wouldnt stop at a polishing step, as the oils are not very durable. That is why you wax after. So either stop after claying, or waxing. I suppose you could stop after UC, if you were going to Ult. Polish/Wax after.
