Hello,
Well, I'm going to detail my mom's 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe for her. It's silver and currently has 25k miles. Anyway, the paint looks to be in great shape. I honestly don't see any swirls/scratches. I know that silver's hard to detect imperfections, but so far it appears to be ok. So, here's my method to detailing it - any thoughts/advice would be great!
1. Wash with Optimum No Rinse
2. Clay with Megs Smooth Clay Kit
3. I'm not sure what to do here. I don't visually see and swirls/scratches. The paint appears to be shinny, even with no polish/wax of any kind currently on it. I do own a G-100, which I plan on using. I also have a lot of polishes including, M80, M83, Swirl-X, Paint cleaner from my smooth clay kit, etc. Should I skip this step and go righ to applying a sealant? I was going to use Fourstar Ultimate Paint Protection. I was then thinking about applying some Megs #26 (liquid).
Will the #26 make a bright silver car look better? Or is this primarily for darker colored cars? Also, will I achieve a better end result applying the #26 with my G-100 and a W9006 finishing pad vs. by hand?
Any thoughts would be great!
Thanks,
Jeff
P.s. How long do I have to wait between the sealant and the #M26?
