Proper Products Again

[raiderscott]

OMG-I am becoming a Meguiar's nerd! On a newer truck (2011), how do you know which product to use after claying:

wash
clay
ultimate polish or colorX
wax

Do I use the machine when I put on the UP and ColorX?

It doesnt matter if the paint is newer, or older, or whatever. All that matters is what you need to fix any issues, and get it looking good and protected.

So if your truck is in good shape, and just needs a general detail to shine it up, then you will just need mild products.

If you are going to try to cover all the recommended steps, the details would look like this:

1. Wash
2. Clay
3. ColorX
4. Wax

or:

1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean/Polish - Ult. Polish
4. Wax
5. Wax

So as you can see, the ColorX would be faster, and come out looking pretty darn good.

Using the Ult. Polish adds a step, so more time. But also has a chance of coming out looking a little better.

As far as machines, both products can be applied with a buffer or by hand.
