In the next couple of weeks Im going to really start detailing my truck again, Im fairly new to the waxing/polishing, and it will be my first time clay baring. I plan to due everything by hand since I do not have a buffer and have no experience with one. I have alot of spider webs and swirl marks in my clear coat that I want to remove badly. I plan to purchase and use in this order:
1) Wash
2) Clay Bar kit w/ quick detailer lubricator
3) Scratch X
4) Gold Class wax or should i go for NXT?
How does this procedure sound? Should I use a polish right after the Scratch-X step or is Scratch-X considered a polish? Im mainly concerned about removing all the swirl marks and spider webs but also leaving a brilliant shine and protection. What is the best way each application be applied with? What I have so far is: microfiber towels, terry cloths, 2 foam applicator pads, polishing cloth, a detailer mitt, and big chamois.
Secondly, I usually always go through the automatic car wash first, (pull in and makes two passes around with soap, then two with high pressure water, and then finally spot free rinse) There is no buffers at the end or any drying just a simple pull in. I was wandering if this would be the best way to wash my truck before I detail it? Once I get it detailed should I keep going through the automatic car wash or wash it by hand? I want the wax to stay on my truck for as long as possible and I hope theres nothing against using automatic car washes? I like them for their pressure and seem to take more stuff off than pulling in a bay and spraying off by hand.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions, Im a freak when it comes to keeping my truck clean
