Hi guys,

After watching detailing videos and reading this forum, I decided to do my first detailing on my wife's minivan.

First I used Meguiars Wash plus. To clay the paint I used the Nanoskin handy towel with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash as a clay lube.

Now the good part..I used a Griot's DA with a 5.5 LC orange pad and Griot's Fast Correcting Cream. IPA wipe to make sure there was no residue. After that, I used Griot's Finishing sealant and a LC black pad.

Love those products! Absolutely no dust and very easy to take off.

For Wax, I went with Collinite 845. Again, watched a lot videos and read a lot about how to use it. I was a little scare because some people's experience removing Collinite but that was not my case. Very easy to take off.

Did a final inspection with Chemical Guys P40 Detailer.

I'm really glad with the results and the products. Attached are pics of the minivan and my "detailing workstation"

Looks great!!

I also love Collinite products. And, anyone stating that 845 is hard to remove is crazy. Glad you weren't scared off by these inaccurate assessments.

Good to hear you liked the GG stuff. Some of my personal favorites. :props:

You made some great choices and the results prove it. Collinite is a great product and I have never had a problem with application or removal.

Hello guys,

Its been more than month since I worked on the Kia. I've been washing it every week and I noticed that it is easier to remove dust and dirt since I put Collinite 845.

I use a foam cannon, a CG soap, a microfiber towel to dry it and CG P40 to finish.

Im thinking in maybe using Meguiars Ultimate fast finish and/or P&S Bead Maker.
