New Car 1st Detail
I'm trying to get ideas of what type of detail should be done on a new car. This is what I had in mind but please let me know what you would add or change.
- Wash and Dry
- Clay
- Sealant
I have been hearing about removing iron deposits, but I'm not that familiar with this step, and whether or not it should be done on a new car.

Re: New Car 1st Detail
Well, the clay will remove iron deposits. Removing them chemically is another way to do it, and may remove below-surface deposits that the clay leaves behind. The "iron-eating" products have only been around for about 5 years, before that people used to just use clay (or use decon acid).
If you want to use an iron-eater, it's pretty simple, spray it on after the wash step and let it dwell for a bit, then rinse or rewash. They smell pretty bad, however.

Are there any that don't smell horrible?

Re: New Car 1st Detail
No they all smell like sulfur.
My process for a new car is:
wash with Clean Slate or strong Citrus wash
IronX shampoo
synthetic clay block
polish with coating prep such as Car Pro Essence Plus and a white pad
coat with Opti Gloss Coat

CarPro Essence Plus should not be used BEFORE a coating. Regular Essence works as a primer for some coatings and Essence Plus can be used on coated vehicles.

I personally wouldn't recommend applying Gloss Coat over CarPro Essence. CarPro CQuartz Classic or Relaod would be be better options honestly. Synergy.

Re: New Car 1st Detail
That three step process is good. Maybe add a polishing step too to remove any light swirls (if you can see any). Itd be a good idea to check for any marring after the clay step, polish will remove this. I recommend meguiars m205

Collinite 845 for a wax/sealant

Re: New Car 1st Detail
yeah I was going to say just polish with a prep but I tried to come up with a brand real quickly and blew it.
