Newbee detailing help!

**RPM06** · 06-05-2006, 03:18 PM

Well, I think I justed purchased every Pinnacle product under the sun.

I've been using Pinnacle products on my new C6 for the last few months and have been really impressed with the quality of the products. Recently though I decided to take on a monster project and detail my '96 Chevy Silverado. Unlike my Vette the truck has never seen inside a garage and has gained quite a few swirl marks over the years. I've recently purchased the following products: (Pinnacle Shampoo and poly clay, Souveran and Crystal Mist, Wolfgang Pre-wax Polish Enhancer and Deep Gloss Sealant and the new XMT Intermediate Swirl Remover Kit with PC).

My question is in what should my steps be for optimal detailing?

Shampoo-Clay-Shampoo-Pre wax Polish-XMT-Sealant-Wax

I have a feeling that I have a step or two misplaced.
Thanks folks,

Based on the exact products youve purchased, I would move the Wolfgang Prewash polish to after the XMT. Or you can skip it as wanted, and just remember to rewash or alcohol rub after the XMT and before the sealant.
