Hi guys I'm new to the site and have been reading post and getting new tips all day long. I got 2 cars a 86' saab 900 and a 91 toyota both of the cars have been repaint some years ago. This is my current "decent?" set of products which I have used separted but never combined to get that perfect shine. I'll like to detail my white saab tomorrow that for I came to you...

turtle wax concentrated car wash

clay magic

meguiar's colorX

Meguiar's deep crystal polish Step2

Meguiar's cleaner wax

Black Magic liquid wax



ps. I dunno have a pc or rotary, my only help is a 1,750psi pressure washer and random orbital polisher. I have a wash mitt and microfiber towels. I'll also like to know how to remove water spots from glass, I think that really affects the final outcome of your detail.

Tanks Guys!!!
 
Agreed. Your process is fine as listed, but I wouldn't bother using both waxes that you listed.



Water spots are sometimes easy to remove, and sometimes not. If the spots have been on the glass for a long time, then you may need a cutting pad and a strong cleaner like Klasse AIO.

Color X and Meg's Cleaner Wax both do the same thing - clean the paint and leave behind a layer of wax protection - one step product. I'd use one or the other, Color X is a little more aggressive than the cleaner wax. Meg's DC#2 is a glaze full of oils that helps to hide imperfections. Not sure about the BM - might be a wax without any cleaners.



Assuming you are using only the products at hand, I'd clay, do Color X or Meg's Cleaner Wax, then Meg's DC #2, then top with Black Magic Liquid wax. I don't think putting DC#2 over a waxed surface will do too much harm, I've never done this.



If you were going to add one product, I'd suggest a chemical cleaner first (Klasse AIO or Meg's DC#1), then use the DC #2 and then the BM.
