Going to do an exterior on a friend of mines GMC extended cab pickup. He's an attorney, and I am going to do it as a freebie, #1 because he is a friend, and #2 because he works with other attorneys and could be a good source of referals. His truck is the champagne shade of silver. He said it has never been waxed and is rarely washed. It is several years old, and while it is not swirled badly (due to never being washed I suppose) the paint is very dull. I'm not going to buy anything new to use on it, and this is what's on my shelf:
Meguiars-
DACP
Swirl Free Polish
Color-X (haven't tried this yet)
Deep Crystal polish
Deep Crystal Paint cleaner
#7
#26
Gold Class Wax
NXT Tech Wax
Also have some Mothers Pure Carnuaba and Zaino, along with various QD's and trim treatments, but that's not my question
I assume I will get better results using the polishes than I would the Color-X as a 1 step. Is that correct. I plan on using a MOthers Clay bar on it, then hit it with the DC cleaner, SFP, and if the results are good enough then top with NXT and #26. Not that familiar with what works good on the champain silver paints though because both of mine are black. Suggestions or advice?
Products will be applied with PC.
