    Re: Exterior paint correction start to finish

    There are threads all over this forum to help you. Just go around and read all the sticky threads. If you are new to fully detailing exteriors then I would understand the process and why it is done that way. This is how I do exteriors:
    Clean wheels, tires and wheel wells
    Wash (2 bucket with grit guards and a microfiber mitt)
    Dry (microfiber waffle weave and blow out the cracks with compressed air)
    Decontaminate (remove fallout, tar, etc with iron remover and clay)
    Wipe down with ipa
    Compound to remove defects
    Polish to improve gloss and remove any haze from the compound
    Wipe down with ipa
    Then a last step product of your choice wax/seal/or coating

    Good luck.

Really just starting out. Haven't had a major exterior job yet and truly don't know the process. Plan on buying a machine polisher and starting from no experience. Need all the tips and help I can get
