Recorrection process?

[KODA]

Hi All,

This was a first time detail on my wife's car... 2006 VW Golf GTI...Tornado Red..daily driver.

There was some swirl marks with minor scratches.

The process and products used as follows:


Meguiars Gold Class car wash
Clayed with Autoglym Clay Kit
Megs G220V2, LC Orange pad with Menzerna SIP
Megs G220V2, LC White pad with Menzerna FF
Megs G220V2, LC Grey pad with Collinite 915
I was satisfied with the results as the swirls were gone and the color and shine was excellent.

As this was my first time, I think I can make the car look even better.

How soon can I do these steps again without damaging the paint?
Can I avoid any of the steps?
How often should I be waxing?

Thanks.

Not familiar with the Menz line, but you should only need to polish the vehicle when it gets scratched up. If you're hand-washing carefully this could be a year or more, even if it's a daily driver.

I reapply sealant about once a quarter and wax about monthly depending on weather and how the car looks.
