Same process as the rest of the paint, except no machine used. Polished with essence by hand. Then coated and reload.



Thanks for all the insight everyone. I enjoy the small group of (sick) detail enthusiasts in here.

Other than that hydrofoam occasionally, ech20 gets it done.
For a garaged car, I'd agree Glen.

Mine isn't so it gets more dirt on it, as well as road film when it rains.
Using Reset for a year, I found considerably less wash marring over the year, because it removes most everything before I actually have to touch the paint.

After the year when I did my annual polishing, I had to do a Carpro Trix decontamination, and 2 APC washes to remove the Essence, Reload, and Hydrofoam that remained on the surface, so it definitely didn't strip the protection off.

But if my car was garaged, I'd mainly do rinseless, as it wouldn't be nearly as dirty.

In fact I would probably get an air compressor and use this "advanced rinseless" pre-wash as shown by Gary Dean, who invented rinseless washing. You can go to the "update" by going to 11:00 in the video.
