    WDGPS3.0 on Detailer

    I searched but could not find

    I am detailing my car for the first time with a DA and claying etc. It is my DD, so normally a good wash, BlackFire Crystal Seal and Meguiars Ultimate was good enough for me since a few commutes, and it looked terrible anyways necessitating a weekly wash and quick spray with Megs UQLW. It is a 2014 so the paint is in good shape other than being Ford paint.

    I am prepping the car for winter now.

    I started with a good wash with CG Citrus, and then clayed the entire car with Griots clay and Speed Shine. Next I used Meg M205 on the DA, White Pad since there aren't any major swirls or defects. A good wipe down with some soft micro fiber, and the car looks fantastic. I wanted to seal with WDGPS3.0, but have run out of time today. It is colder here now so dew falls on the vehicles almost immediately after dusk.

    Tomorrow, I will get up early so I have the twelve hours for the sealant to cure....before dusk.

    Question is, since I will no doubt have dust on the car by morning (No Garage), is it OK to wipe / Quick Detail the car with CG V07 sealant/detailer or ONR mixed as a detailer, prior to the sealant? If not, what do you recommend. I do not want to wash / dry the car at 6AM.

    The following day, I plan to wipe down with V07, and then LSP Meq UPW.

    Thanks

    Do you have Meg's quick detailer??

    If not I would just wash it with the CG soap again, because everything else you mentioned will leave something behind and the sealant won't bond optimally. If it is citrus wash and gloss go light on the dilution because it does leave a little behind as well.
    It's all in the details

    ONR will work fine.

    I do, and completely forgot about it. I will use the Megs Quick Detailer. Thanks

    Think your better with ONR. Megs QD definitely leaves something behind. Not sure what but it makes paint bead differently after its applied.

    As it turns out, no detailer needed. The car was so we with dew and it was a foggy morning so I figured since I'd have to dry things, I might as well wash it again. Thanks just the same.

    ..... we with dew .....
    WET with dew

    I think I found my new favorite sealer - WDGPS went on nice, came off easy and looks fantastic.

    The car looks fantastic and the surface now is so smooth, better than anything I've felt before.

    I currently have one layer of WDGPS. As I mentioned in my post, I had planned to top this with CG V07, and then Meg UPW. After doing some more reading, I am not sure what I should do.

    I read that Meg s UPW or ULW are really sealants, and the solvent in them could mess with the WDGPS?? The more I read about the CG V07, the more I realize its a sealant. I knew the marketing said it was, but it seemed more like a QD to me.

    Any advice? Will the Meg Ultimate products be OK on top of the Wolfgang? I'll skip the V07 for now. I don't really own any pure caranuba waxes. I was hoping this could be my only and last detail with a strip/sealant before winter.
