Hey guys,
I am THINKING about doing a full exterior detail on my 2014 F-150 tomorrow now that it is starting to cool off (I may change my mind in the morning haha). Anyways...I did a full detail on it about a year ago that included Iron X, clay bar, Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion and then Collinite 845. The paint is still in excellent shape so there is no need for any heavy correction work, however, if I am going to go over it I think it is worth at least doing a light polish on it before I wax/seal/coat.
I just bought McKee's Paint Coating, but I don't know if I want to go through all the work of applying a coating right now. I would have to do something like Meg's M205 and then the McKees Coating Prep Polish and then the coating. On a big truck like mine that is a ton of work to a three step process like that...but it is a possibility.
I am debating on whether or not I need to Iron X it again...I could do a test spot, but with the blue paint it is very difficult to see Iron X changing colors.
Here is the DA Polisher I have:
-Griots GG6
Here is what I have for pads:
- LC Flat pads (5.5" and 4"): yellow, orange, white, black, blue
Here are the polishes I have:
-HD Speed
-Menzerna 3500
-Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion
-Meguiar's M205
-HD Polish
-McKee's Coating Prep Polish
Here are the waxes/sealants/coatings I have:
-Pinnacle Liquid Souveran (I won't use this on my daily driver as I want longevity)
-Collinite 845
-HD Poxy
-Menzerna Power Lock
-McKees Paint Coating
It's funny because about 80% of the product I just listed above I have never even used before...what can I say...I am a connoisseur of polishes and waxes I guess?
Anyways, what do you guys suggest? I know I need to do a test spot, etc...but I figure I would see if you guys have any combinations that stick out to you guys. I know I really I ought to do the paint coating, but it just seems like a lot of work.
Here are some photos from when I detailed it the first time...
