Hi Rovex,
Your write ups are excellent!
I was looking for a few tips with my royal blue 75
Due to some idiot crashing into me, it has had to have the majority of the drivers side re-painted
I have also now decided to paint the bonnet and bumper etc to get rid of chips and make it all match better.
I felt the paint was a little too dark, so I am going to try another brand. (I got prospray 2k last time)
Can you recommend a good paint for the car, and then tell me what stages are best to do when detailing it.
I have already attacked the car with the following stages
Meguiars 105 on hexlogic orange pad
Meguiars Ultimate compound on hexlogic green pad
Meguiars Ultimate polish on hexlogic blue pad
Meguiars hi-tech yellow wax on hexlogic red pad
Sprayed and wipe meguiars ultimate quick wax over the whole car
My question is this, If I wish to regularly wax the car after washing (say every other week) should I first clay and polish the car, or can I go straight to wax?
Also, I have yet to find a clay bar that does not scratch the paint. I keep the surface very wet with autoglym rapid detailer, but it still seems to do a bad job.
Finally, there is no tar on the car, I remove that with a combo of WD40 and autoglym intensive tar remover.
I want the car to look like new, but I am finding it REALLY hard to achieve!
