After Vacation Cleaning

As much as I tried to keep my car clean during my spring break vacation, all the rain, sand, and late night partying took its toll on my car. So the dayafter I got back I went to work on restoring my pain to its former glory. I basically did everything but polish it.

The Game Plan

Washed:
PB Super Slick Suds, two buckets and foam gun, and of coures the shmitt. 2 oz in 5 gallon bucket and 1 oz in foam gun. Very impressd with the ratio needed for PB soap, also very impressd with the cleaning ability, alot of stuuf just rinsed off after an inital presoak with the foam gun. Let sit for about 1 minute.

Clayed: Sonus Ultra Fine Clay and DP Universal Clay lube. The paint was basically swirl free, but I was starting to get some unwasable spes and light water marks. I wasn't sure if the clay would remove the water marks, but suprisely it did. I finally solved my clay lube problem with dp, good lubricity, if that a word, and rinse clean without any rewashing, and not one swirl or marring line form the combo.

Dried: Cobra WW and Final Inspection, and 150 mph craftsmen electric blower, new toy. Everyones knows about the Cobra WW, but the blower I bought is a beast, if any ones looking for a cheap, light weight blower, give this one a try. Only cost me $30 and I can hold it in the palm of my hand with it on.

Windows: DP Glass restore polish with a mf and topped with Klasse SG.

Trim: Klasse AIO, I had started to get some waterspots and discoloration, but AIO took it all out with one light pass.

Wheels: DP wheel glaze and Meguirs Hot Shine Gel and cobra applicator. I have always been a big fan Of Megs. tire dressings, but this has to be by far the best, I think AG just started to carry it. Very wet look and it stays on for days. I didn't put a lot on in the pictures because I had to leave shortly after and wouldn't time for it to properly dry, but I have been using it on other cars and just love it, give it a try. The cobra tire dressing pad is a god send, by far the best and easiest to use, all I can say is if you don't have it GET IT NOW.

Paint:
Just added an additional coat of Pinn Souveran over the existing coat and bottom coat of DG TTP. I put an extra coat on TTP on the front bumper and lower panels. As for the Pinn Souveran, i know its for dark colors, but in combo with the ttp it gives a killer wet and bright shine to white.

Here are the before pics.








And After.













Thats all folks, I just hoope it doens't rain any time soon.
AG Rocks
