I have a few questions from the detailing sticky submitted by Brandon.
Which compound is recommended, Optimum compound or the Optimum Hyper compound and is there really any big difference?
Also if I was to do the wash at my home what is a good rinse method, my water is hard water from the outside hose, however I have soft water in the house which could be used in a bucket. Brandon quoted this before,
"If you want, you can start at the diy carwash, but use your own stuff. Also, do the final rinse with the spot-free. After you do your "big" detail at the diy carwash, I would reccomend not going there and getting someting like Optimum No-Rinse wash (waterless wash you can do in your driveway in about 15min)".
Also what is snappy? Used for cleaning the pads but what is its real name?
Do you use one pad for each step of the detail process also?
Almost have all the items together, and ordered a PC kit today.
One last question, I live in the very hot state of AZ, it hit 110 degrees today. Is it not recommended to do any of the steps of the detailing process above certain temperatures? I know the clay for instance says to do in the shade and on a
cool car. If after I wash my vehicle is moving it into the shade of the garage cool enough?
Thanks again for any responses, really wish I would have started this at least a month ago.
Peace out
