New car Paint Clean and Protection Procedure

[mcascello100]

Hi all i just wanted some feedback on my procedure that i used and also on my future ideas for my 2012 ford mustang convertible grabber blue.

clean, wash , rinse, dry
clay bar exterior with mothers clay kit
white pad with xmt swirl remover 1

then got next shipment in a month later
clean, wash, rinse, dry
2 coats of klasse car sealant 10 hour cure time in between coats

then next wash cycle
used xmt 360 spray wax

now wondering about a product i picked up from a local pep boys near me. I picked up the meguiar's yellow hi tech car wax. how is this product and do you think i should hand apply or machine apply this wax?

Thanks everyone for any suggestions
i have a porter cable with yellow orange white grey and blue lc pads 5.5 inch

Last week I wrote a brand new article showing what I would do if I bought a brand new car...


Take a look and read through this article, don't scan it, read it as it's detailed and thorough as to what you should do step by step.

M26 is a show car wax, that is it offers no cleaning ability and it should be applied to a finish in excellent condition as described in my how-to book...

It is a very nice wax that's been around for around 30+ years with a strong and loyal following.

Apply a thin coat by hand or machine, allow to dry to a light haze and then remove. If applied by machine use the gray or blue pad.
