Quick Question!!

**vwgti** · 06-20-2013, 01:13 AM

Hey all! First post!

I have learned a lot since I first started reading in here! Full of details and product review. I just can't seem to find a "short-cut"

So I have a 2012 GTI which I detailed, started with P21 wheel cleaner, Chemical Guys Honeydew foam, Citrus hand wash, Iron X, V34 polish, V36 polish, Menzerna SF4500 ultra finish, then Klasse Sealant, then Collinite Wax at the end! The finish is FANTASTIC

Now back to the question I want to ask... I have a 2002 Honda Accord which I want to detail but do I really want to spend the whole days (9 Hours) to do all that? So is there some kind of short cut or product that you guys would recommend?

I will still do Foaming, and Iron X, just thinking about doing 1 polish step, then sealant. What do you guys think?

Any help will be appreciated

Well, you could use a cleaner wax instead of doing paint correction and see if you like the result.

Otherwise you could do a glaze+sealant and save 1 step. Paint would not be corrected but defects would be hidden...

What do you guys think?

Do you plan on spending 9 hours on both interior/exterior?

Picture will be up soon!

And nope, thats why I want to know is there a short-cut lol

And I guess, the short the steps I take, the less of a result.

IMO there is plenty of short cuts (cutting corners) but this will only bring down the quality of the potential work.

It all depends on what you want in the end result.

Citrus Wash Gloss
-> Clay
-> D151
-> Opti Seal!

You could use an All In Polish would save you lots of time.

I was thinking short cuts like skipping the bumper lol, woops. My apologies

I think some Meg's Ultimate Compound from a local store would probably make a huge improvement. Then slap whatever Collinite on top and call it a day.

This. Ultimate Compound is a great product for defect removal and finishes down quite well. I think you would be happy with this choice.
