I was a little busy last few weeks, and didn't do any major detail since November. I had 2 coats of Klasse SG, and 2 coats of Megs #16 on it.
I march I gave it a coat of Souveran Spray wax.
Now it was time to do a little polishing, and to try some new products/combos. This time I decided to enter DP show-n-shine contests, so I used most of DP products.
Engine: ZEP Citrus cleaner and degreaser, and short handle green bristle brush. Fist off all, I covered all belts, altenator and fans with plastic bags, haveing 2 bags per section. This will make sure I won't have the cleaner on those sections. Then simply spray ZEP degreaser (cut 1:1) straight on the engine, plastic, and all rubber hoses. let it soak for about 5 minutes. Then I sprayed a little more again, and agilitate all dirt/grime with a short handle brush. Love this brush! Works so well on engine, like it was designed for it!
Then just simply rinsed the engine with a a hose. Then I wiped off all major spills with a terry cloth towel, removed plastck bags. I sprayed all rubber hoses, and plastic with Armor All tire foam, and cranked up the engine. While the engine was running, I washed the car. Note: I oly removed one plastic cover, that was one a right hand side, removing others was pointless, they had little hoses going underneath, I desided to leave them along.

Washed: Optimum car wash (new formula) in a foam gun and in a bucket. I had a few ounces of it left in a bottle, so I decided to use it up. Awesome in a foam gun! Next to Poorboy's SS&S. Used ALL White Shmitt. Simply love it!
Polished: Since car had no scratches/swirls (I try to be very carefull when washing, and always use a foam gun) I decided to clean up the paint from the reamaings of Klasse SG with XMT 360 and Edge 2000 blue pad.
WOW! I'm impressed! No dust at all! Product literally vanished, and there was hardly any residue to wipe off.
Sealant: I decided to try out DP Surface Shield on my car to pop the flakes. Color is Desert Mist Metallic, and I really wanted to pop those flakes. WOW! Very impressed with a sealant! very easy to use, a little goes a long way! I probably used 0.5-0.75 oz to do a whole car. I let it haze for 30 minutes after application, then buffed it off with Cobra MF towel. Let it cure for 18 hours, then wax the car.
Wax: DP Max Wax. I simply love it! I knew I wasn't gonna mute the flakes, but didn't expect to pop them this much! Love it! Simply easey to use, goes on like butter. And a little goes a long way.
