My friend asked me if I would help him detail his car. A year or so it was involved in a wreck. It got some of the pass door, pass front quarter, and hood, and bumper. It has all been fixed and looks pretty good. I think the body man did an excellent job. But as far as the rest of the car, has original paint. It has been through the car wash countless times, and has terrible spider webbing effect over entire car, which is very noticable in sunlight.



I plan on hitting it with these steps



Wash

Clay

SSR 2.5 with Propel Orange at 6k

Meguiars #80 with Propel Orange at 6k

Klasse AIO with Propel Yellow at 4k (maybe x2 coats) worth it?

NXT Tech paste wax with LC Gray Finishing pad (maybe x2 coats)



Do you guys see anything in this process you think my need changing? Or somewhere I would run into trouble with?



Also do you think there is any benefit in coating AIO twice?



I will try to get pics of it soon so you can see the extent of the paint.



Also, do you think I should do the complete car with these steps? Or skip the SSR2.5 on the newer painted surface?



Thank you



any opinions/thoughts would be much appreciated.
 
That looks like a good start. You might need to go heavier than SSR2.5 to start but try the 2.5 and see first. You actually might want to try 2.5 and a yellow pad if the 2.5 and orange combo isn't doing much and if it still doesn't work go to SSR3 or something and a yellow pad.

Also, don't go to a yellow pad for the AIO. Go with a green or white pad. Assuming you are using LCM pads?
 
ok, I accidently put LC pads, but im actually gonna be using the Propel pads. Which color propel pad would you use with the AIO?



Also do you think its worth my time doing the double coat of AIO?
 
Looks like a good plan. Only reason to hit the AIO twice is to make sure you got all areas, otherwise you'll be taking off what you just put on.



I've been using AIO by hand, but I've been wondering do most prefer to apply it by machine. It seems so easy by hand.
 
I actually have never applied AIO with PC either. Always by hand. I just thought I could use the AIO more efficiently with less waste on PC???
