ok brandon, i'm gonna give this a shot...starting with a filthy truck and a diy carwash at the spray station, tho. i guess my results may vary, but it's pretty clean. will the "wax" stuff in the spray-on make a difference...should i just mitt it with simple green and duragloss #901 cwc and then continue, or can i start as-is?
here's my shopping list...
simple green (got plenty)
clay magic
mequiar's water magnet
optimum compound+p/c 7424+pad kit+backing plate (can these be purchased otc or must they be ordered? i'm bored today...home sick and whatnot)...not going by hand, lets just say i have a lot of "defects"
in the paint...
vroom microfiber for excess compound removal
mezerna final polish II or duragloss #652
clearkote red moose glaze
duragloss #105 total performance polish (sealant for paint & windows)
sooooooo...can i get all this stuff otc at advance or pepboys or lowes (with the exception of the moose and pad/backing parts)...and the pads, can i substitute stuff from lowes or wherever rather than the ones from
autogeek...i'm definately in to instant gratification
, tho i'll definately get this stuff from the geek rather than lowes since lowes seems to be going a bit downhill these days
.
and...can i do this process over a couple days...i think the claying part is gonna take forever
. my truck is FILTHY. but im also not going wheeling for a few months and snowboard season is like "bring on the road grime", so clean and gunk-repellent would be great.
thanks brandon
