I posted a question I think a week ago about how to clean the top of a minivan. Well, I haven't detailed either the minivan or the accord. Instead, I have read more and ordered and bought more products! :nervous:
So I bought one of those platform workhorse things (bought a $40 one, so that I can afford a PC 7336SP :xyxthumbs ). So this is what I have on hand now, and what I have on order:
On Hand:
PC 7336SP
Megs Gold Class Wash, detailer, liquid wax, hot shine wheel cleaner
Klasse AIO / SG
303 Protectant
Plexus Plastic Cleaner
Stoners Invisible Glass
Megs NXT Glass Cleaner
TW Bug and Tar Remover
Megs Scratchx
mitts: sheepskin and chenille
towels: many microfiber towels, and terry cloth
On Order:
DAS Pad Kit
PB SSR1
PB SSR2.5
PB SSR3
PB Nattys
P21s GEPC
Mothers Chrome Polish
Meguiars Versa-Angle Ultra Plush Wash Mop
Clay Magic
Primer, base paint, clear coat pens on order from paintscratch.com.
Here's the deal, I have a 97 Accord, that I plan to use as my guinea pig before I hit the new sienna. The Accord has a lot of little chips on the bumper (some down to the metal) from standard parallel parking idiots when I lived in NYC. The accord has scratches, cob webs, etc. I think I know what to do (from all the readings), but just want to double check the order, and then a curve ball:
Plan of attack:
Wash Car (megs gold class wash)
clay (clay magic)
PB SSR2.5 on Orange pad
PB SSR1 on Green pad (if necessary)
AIO on Blue pad
SG from a mist spray bottle by hand with foam pad?
Maybe nattys by hand.
Curve ball:
As mentioned, the accord has alot of little chips on the bumper and the hood(no bigger than an eraser head of a pencil, just alot of them). Should I fix the paint first (requiring me to wait 30 days to cure) or say screw the paint and just :buffing:
My gut is telling me to do the paint thing first.. Patience is a virtue... :angry
With the paint curing, can I still clean, clay, polish? I assume AIO/SG/Natty's is a no no on new paint.
