    Need some experienced opinions

    So I think this is the forum where this belongs, if not I apologize. I just got into detailing and I figured some of the more experienced members who know about more products could help me out.

    I have a red 05 Ram Quad cab, It is outside 24/7 I live RIGHT on the ocean, and right at sea level if that matters, my town gets right about 130 inches of precipitation a year, and the roads aren't maintained very well so there are tons of potholes and gravel and dirt is all over the road. My truck has tar, dirt, bugs, swirls, and light scratches on it.

    I want it to look nice and get rid of the swirls and scratches, and maintain the rims. Washing it every week or so is fine but I would rather not be doing more than that and a QW

    Now you know the conditions and desired outcome would you please give me opinions on what products I should use for the job? I had a general idea;
    pre-wash) tarminator and safe scrub b and t pad
    washing ) Auto bathe or a rinseless wash like BF rinseless wash
    Claying ) Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay "Special"
    Polishing ) Pinnacle twins and 7424xp combo
    sealant and wax) Detailer's maximum paint protector combo
    Quick wax) Detailer's Quick Wax
    windows ) glass scrub auto glass stripper (bogo)
    wheels ) P21S wheel cleaner kit

    Not trying to start a "wax war" I would just like your opinions on these products and how you think they work together, and in this enviornment. If you think another product would be better, or my procedures are out of order please tell me, I'm all ears thanks.

    If you really want to save time, I would suggest you look into a permanent coating like Opti-coat or Gtechniq C1. That way you won't need to wax EVER! When the paint becomes beat up, just polish off the coating and apply again. Perfect option.
    Wax On!

    Re: Need some experienced opinions

    thanks for the tip, I may not need to buy the polisher either as my aunt has one but she isn't sure what it is because she hasn't used it in a while... She used to detail pretty extensively on her Durango, her husband's truck, and my grandparents' cars...the more you know (:
