Hello everyone,
I've been working my way through as many relevant posts I can find on the subject (and I must say, there are many), and I wanted to double check and make sure I am not forgetting anything that I need to buy/do.
I just bought a silver '07 Honda Civic. It will always be kept outside so I need to take the best care that I can to protect my investment.
Last weekend I washed/clayed/ and used Klasse AIO.
I was planning on waxing it this weekend (actually I was going to do it last weekend but I got the AIO and the Klasse Sealer/glaze mixed up and thought I had to wait 12 hours before waxing... I thought the AIO -WAS- the sealer/protectant) but I thought it might be better if I used the Klasse Sealer or similar first.
Because I split things up over a week, I was wondering if I should repeat any steps beyond washing? Am I missing anything? I'll have to admit there is so much information, it’s a little overwhelming.
Also, if I do use the Klasse Sealer, I will have to place another order and would like to make sure I have "EVERYTHING" this time:
This is what I have so far:
Porter Cable 7424
