I have a 2007 white convertible that I got late fall and only put a few hundred miles on it before I had to put it up for the winter.

So, what products would you recommend to start out right.

thanks in advance

Don

I would start out with my OD Light Polish to clean the paint, correct light swirls and scratches, and to bring out more shine and reflection.  This will also prep the paint for the next steps.

Next I would use my OD Wet Glaze to really make the paint look deep and wet.

Lastly, I would top that with Optimum Opti Seal Sealant, this will give a lot of gloss and reflection plus add some good protection.  This is a very hot product right now.  You just wipe on and walk away, you don't have to buff it off because it just dissappears.  Also a little bit goes a long way, you can do 5-7 cars with only 1 ounce.

You might want to checkout my high quality microfiber towels, these are a lot better than what you can get over the counter.  All of my microfibers are a 70/30 grade.

I don't know how you are on car wash, both Optimum Car Wash and Optimum No Rinse are both top notch washes.


Let me know if you have anymore questions.  Thanks!


Justin

Justin,

one more question, can these products be applied by hand, or would it make sense and get better results using
something like the PC 7424

thanks

Don

You can get good results with these products by hand.  A better finish can always be achieved my using a PC, you can only do so much by hand.  Machine polishing will take your paint to a whole new level.

Thank you!  You business is really appreciated.

Here is a great site that has a ton of info on how to use the PC, the videos on there will really help you out.

http://paintcare-n-detailing.com/

There are some demo vidoes on the detailing section here on how to use the No Rinse wash and the Opti Seal Sealant, that will really help you to.

Use the white and orange pad for your polishes only.  The gray pad will be used for glazes, waxes, and sealants.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.  I will be glad to help you.  Thanks again!

Justin

Yes use the white polishing pad for the Light Polish.  If you aren't seeing the results you are looking for bump up to the orange light cutting pad and the Light Polish.

The glaze should be applied with the gray pad on no higher than speed 4.
