Process
Wash the car with a wax free shampoo and rinse off
Use megs quick clay kit
Wash the car again and dry using a terry towel or similar
Apply step 1 and buff off once dry but dont let it bake on
Apply step 2 and buff off once dry but dont let it bake on
Apply step 3 and buff off once dry but dont let it bake on
Add a layer of hard wax then buff off once hazed, add as many layers as you like but adding the hard wax prolongs the finish.
Step 1 helps fill or mask any swirls and helps prepare the paint for polish and waxing
Step 2 creates a deep gloss coat and also helps with swirl reduction
Step 3 creates a protection layer and helps protect the finish.
you dont have to clay or use hard wax but it gives a better and longer lasting finish, also the wax gives a wet look to the car
