M21 + M26 Question...
So.. I did a full detail on my S2000 this weekend.. Everything went great!!
(it's a 2005, silverstone... always been hand washed using the 2bucket method, so baaaaarely any massive swirlage or cob-webbing... just a few miscellaneous fine-scratches here and there.. nothing major, or any regular everyday person can spot.. just stuff I know. LOL)
I ended up wrapping up my full day spent on my car, on saturday, with giving my car a single coat of M21.. unfortunately, as much as I wanted to leave her in the garage until I could follow up that coat, with a final coat of M26, I couldn't.. I had to drive about a 100miles for a family emergency.. When I ended up getting back home sometime yesterday (thankfully, everything with the family was alright.. false alarm), I quickly went to town on my car with some very delicious UQD.. used two seperate microfibers. One to wipe down the surface after I sprayed the UQD, and the other to buff off any additional residue, to leave a super clean glossiness to the finish
Now comes my real question.. I STILL really want to hit my car with a coat of M26, and really don't want to wait a whole other month or two, until I give my car a full detail day treatment.. lol..
Is it safe, for me to apply M26 to my car, of course, given that I UQD spray my car down first, to start with sort of a 'blank' and clean canvas..??
Here is how my detail day went:
-washed car (2bucket method, gold class shampoo/conditioner, wool wash mit)
-clayed just about every smooth surface on my car (using the megs clay bar from the clay bar kit, and regular QD)
-used DC1 paint cleaner as well, just as a precaution.. (applied with megs foam hand applicator, and removed using the two microfiber cloth technique)
*noticed that because I was still hungover from the night before, I ended up taking a little more time prepping everything for a few good different polished I wanted to try out on some spots... but instead, almost ran out of time... hence, why I resorted to the next step*
-hit the whole car with M07 Show Car Glaze, because as previously stated, I was starting to run out of time to detail my car, and really get rid of some of the cob-webbing and lighter scratches... instead, I decided to just hide them for the meantime using M07..lol (again, using my two microfiber cloth technique)
-and finally, I topped it off with M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0
Doing just the above, made my car look PHENOMENAL. I mean, for a silver car, I've never seen my car look this good since I bought it brand new back in 2006! Actually, probably even better!
Just some friendly input and advice would help me out much!!!
Thanks guys!

Then give it a good wash and come back with another quick coat of #21. Now when you get "older/wiser", you will discover that on a silver (or white) vehicle an application of ColorX every 4-6 weeks is about as good as it gets.
