    Re: Order for detail process

    Not sure if somebody said this yet. But why don't you clean the trim.
    Then tape it up polish the truck
    Then apply whatever to the trim. Do it slow and neat. Anything that gets on the paint use spray wax to remove.

    Clean the paint
    Clean the trim
    Tape up the trim
    Polish the paint
    Remove the tape from the trim
    Apply your wax to the paint (do not remove immediately - 845 will need a while to set up anyway)
    Whilst the wax is setting up/hazing, dress the trim (any that lands up on the paint is sitting on the wax residue which will then be buffed off anyway)
    Remove the wax residue once done



    Just a last thought.... Collinite 845, has, in my experience, never stained any trim white, and I have even purposefully used it on black trim for protection (wiper cowel, window rubbers etc).... this goes against what Collinite say on their website, so bear in mind there may be some kind of trim out there it will stain....I don't know.

    My question is why are you putting Iron-x on the tires instead of the wheels? Have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

    Not sure why I wrote that. Probably just getting mixed up with what I was writing. The Ironx would be for the body and maybe the rims, but certainly not the tires.
