Ok so I got my box of goodies on Thursday. Washed, clayed, washed again and got down to business.
Mistake #1...got distracted from the last wash and didn't dry car >>>WATER SPOTS!!!!!!
Not to let that stop a paratrooper...i started using the XMT1 on the hood and front fenders. Took a bit of time since I am new at using a PC. By the time I was finished I had to put a quick coat of Natty's Blue on before the sun went down and I lost light.
Mistake #2...not enough time to do the job right/failed to check wether report!
It's raining!!! Damn storms! The hood and front fenders are beading the water great! But I wanted to use a sealant PB EX-P....YES I KNOW I CAN'T PUT IT ON AFTER THE NATTY'S.
So here is my question/problem #1: How do I start over and remove the wax that is on the car? I know some people that use Dawn dish soap to remove the layers of wax prior to preping the paint with a polish. Is there a better method?
Question #2...the light was not great but I did not see any difference between the preped hood and fenders and the rest of the car. Is the EX-P sealant going to make a differnce in the appearance? How? Why?
Thanks for the responses. TIme to go do my sun-god dance!
