My latest detail on a 2015 Polaris Slingshot SL that I picked up on Saturday. It was "clean", but not to my liking, so I gave it a top to bottom detail.
Here is my list of products/procedures:
1. Cleaned engine bay with Griot`s Engine Cleaner, dried with a leaf blower, and sealed with Griot`s Engine Detailer
2. Cleaned wheel wells with Griot`s Engine Cleaner
3. Wheels cleaned with Griot`s Heavy-Duty Wheel Cleaner
4. Washed with ONR to get any silicones/grease/dirt off
5. Clayed paint in spots with Zaino clay bar
6. Washed again, then dried completely
7. Polished swirls with Griot`s Machine Polish 2 and an orange pad
8. Wipe down with Speed Shine
9. Second pass with Klasse AIO applied with PC and a yellow pad
10. Wipe with SONUS Acrylic Spritz
11. Applied 1 coat Klasse SG by hand with wipe-on/wipe-off method
12. Wipe again with SONUS
13. Applied S100 Wax Top coat wipe-on/wipe-off
14. Wiped again with SONUS
12. Cleaned plastic trim and applied Vinylex
13. Tires with Griot`s Long Lasting Dressing
14. Sprayed undercarriage where visible (wheel wells, around the rear wheel, etc) with Griot`s Undercarriage Spray and wiped residual spray
15. Polished all plastic with Plexus
16. Seats treated with Griot`s 3 in 1 Leather Cleaner/Conditioner
I didn`t get as deep of a shine as I wanted but I was trying to be careful with the paint, as I am not sure how thick the clear and paint is especially with all the lines on this thing! The pearl metallic shows through nicely though.
All in all, better than when it started.
