197x Porsche Detail

Hey guys, I'm new to autopia. First of my name is Sean, and I detail more for a hobby than a source of income.



One of my regular customers asked me to detail one of his older Porsche's, and I've got a few questions about it. He told me the paint is was re-shot about 15 years ago. He said he's put 500 miles on it in the 11 years he's owned it, so I want to make it look as good as possible, durability not an issue. I've been using poorboys SSR2.5 and SSR1 followed by NXT2.0, and IMO it looks great, but here's my question. I have a bottle of Megs Show Car Glaze, and Cleaner Wax in my garage I've never really seen fit to use. I'm debating putting the Glaze on before I wax the car. But being the Cleaner wax is an AIO, it'll remove the glaze right?



If you guys can give me a recommendation for what to use after I'm done polishing, witch wax to use, that would be awesome. I have a few pictures of said car I'll post when I'm allowed.



Thanks,

Sean
 
You're right the cleaner wax will probably mess with the glaze... I would just top the glaze with NXT 2.0 and call it a day... that's worked great for me in the past
 
I thought I had better pictures but apparently not. It doesn't really show the condition of the paint. :aww:

polish it out, then add your sealant, then glaze



polish it out, then add your glaze, then your wax (nuba)



leave the cleaner wax at home! I use cleaner waxes just for cars that are slightly oxidized that arent getting compounding/polished
 
Well I got the car done, but it gave me major problems. I ended up using SSR2.5 on an orange pad, than SSR1 on a white pad, and NXT on a finishing pad. But I wasn't able to remove all of the swirls. He told me the car hadn't gotten washed since he had it. Anyways, here's some pictures of the finished car. I'm just learning how to use the new D40 so I wasn't able to get any of the swirls prehand except this crappy one.

And the afters, they don't show the little imperfections left either.
