1st detail...
This car is easy to detail, the paint is respectable and takes a finishing polish well. so here's the regimen I use, much shorter than what most people use, as the polymer is a wipe on product, no buffing,it self cures and the durability is 3-4 months and cures like glass. When others are trying to dig the white haze powder off their car, around the badges and in the cracks, I'm done and driving. Its easy and fast.
1. wash and Nanoskin prep towel (much nicer than clay) 2. Finishing polish: Menzerna 4500, white med pad with a Griot's CORDLESS orbital. (get one for Xmas, they are great!) 3. One coat of Backfire Crystal Seal - prob one more next wash,. all of 15 min. I put all my "how to" detailing docs in a dropbox if you want more info. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/acxkaf44c...VlC5djtQa?dl=0 http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3..._4150_1024.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...4f00dbcbf3.jpg enjoy! |
Looks very nice. I still haven't tackled mine yet, clay bar, polish, then good coat of wax.

Thank you for taking the time to write the info and share it on dropbox! I couldn't even tell you exactly what I do since I just don't think about it and just do it mechanized lol. I almost got the cordless Griot's orbital, glad you like it! I may just grab one in the future :D

You got me interested in using the nanoskin instead of clay so I looked it up. The towel is $47 and the sponge is $11. Is the towel that much better?

I hope the tintcoat is a little harder on you 2016 than my 2010. I ended up going with a coating for more scratch resistance. Did you use Iron X? |

I did not decon the paint ,but will do the wheels tomm with Sonax decon, and then carpro hydro2 the wheels . Love that stuff, drives sealant deep into the crevices by water....very cool. |
Would a reputable detail shop do a "first detail" if I asked? What they know what I'm talking about? I think I'd rather pay someone to do this.

When I get the car in the spring, I am gonna have SUN-TEK (Clear Bra) put on the front and have Ceramic Pro applied (With a paint correction). Then its easy to care for.
