I have a 96 SVT Cobra, black. In my opinion it scratches easily. I detailed it for a show last weekend. I have another this weekend. The car is lightly dusty with some bugs from traveling.
What is the best way to clean it without reintroducing scratches and swirl marks.
After I corrected it using Meg's DA MF pink fluid with MF pad for correction and LC white pad with M205 for polish. I then wiped down with 20% IPA and gave it 2 coats of UPG+ sealant.
Should I foam it with a foaming wand, rinse, and blow dry total no touch?
Then I was going to give it another coat of UPG+ for the show and buff it up with my purple Cobra MF towels. If I pick up anything on the 10 miles to the show then use my Ultima QD for touch up.
I have in my Arsenal Collonite 845. Would it be better appearance and protection wise to use that as an LSP rather than a 3rd coat of the UPG+ ?
Or just for extra protection to use the Collonite just on the front fascia and maybe rocker panels?
How does this sound? Open to any other suggestions. The car is not a DD. It's a sunny day fun car that we put on about 3500-4500 miles per year. Spends most days in the garage.
One last question is UPG+ a good product for Chrome wheels? Up until now I've been using Meg's Ultra Chrome Polish, which looks great, but doesn't seem to last long.
Thanks, Spiney-Dave
