Detailers: What is your new car protocol

Flumazenil · 10-06-2010, 07:25 AM

My Mineral White should be arriving in about 2 weeks. From the posts on this forum, it looks like the dealer will do a poor job detailing the car. So I want to do it myself. For the detail guys on this forum, what is your new car protocol? If you could be specific about the products, that would help. Thanks.

Strip-wash, clay, light polish, and wax/sealant. Shouldn't be too hard if you ordered a car as it won't be one that's been sitting on the lot for a long time.
Congrat's on the new ride!

As marc stated....wash clay polish wax. Throw in an ipa wipedown after polishing before sealing.
