I feel a bit confused, and dumb... so here it goes...
I recently realized that detailing my own car (and my girlfriend's) could turn out to be a lot of fun, and rewarding, as I love how they look after a good detailing work; plus, it costs a lot more to detail my car 5 times than it costs to get a year or two supply of the products and do the work myself.
I am a neophyte on detailing, but I am planning on taking it as a new hobby as I said earlier. So... what do you think should be my first step?
Also, what is the meaning of QD?, I see it everywhere but dont know the meaning :S
and of this list, I think the ones with the asterisk are redundant, so which is best for the work? or maybe redundant with even the other products... its all confusing...
Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax
Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze
Klasse All In One
* Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion
* Turtle Wax Color Cure Car Polish with ChipStik (Black) (recommended by a friend that saw a very deep scratch on my car)
(sorry if mentioning non-site brands is a bad thing)
Now... the dumb question...
after washing, and claying, what would the process be? I know AIO goes before HGSG and that Souveran should follow... but is there any of the others in between or due to needs be replaced? (deep deep scratch, will post photos, but in the meantime... the car is black, and the scratch reached under the color coat of the paint, IE. looks white)
