    First detailing as a hobby

    Hi guys,

    After watching detailing videos and reading this forum, I decided to do my first detailing on my wife's minivan.

    First I used Meguiars Wash plus. To clay the paint I used the Nanoskin handy towel with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash as a clay lube.

    Now the good part..I used a Griot's DA with a 5.5 LC orange pad and Griot's Fast Correcting Cream. IPA wipe to make sure there was no residue. After that, I used Griot's Finishing sealant and a LC black pad.

    Love those products! Absolutely no dust and very easy to take off.

    For Wax, I went with Collinite 845. Again, watched a lot videos and read a lot about how to use it. I was a little scare because some people's experience removing Collinite but that was not my case. Very easy to take off.

    Did a final inspection with Chemical Guys P40 Detailer.

    I'm really glad with the results and the products. Attached are pics of the minivan and my "detailing workstation"

    Looks great!!

    I also love Collinite products. And, anyone stating that 845 is hard to remove is crazy. Glad you weren't scared off by these inaccurate assessments.

    Good to hear you liked the GG stuff. Some of my personal favorites.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    You made some great choices and the results prove it. Collinite is a great product and I have never had a problem with application or removal.
