Hey folks, new around these parts, but thankfully found these forums
I'm hoping I can trouble some folks for their thoughts - the vehicle I'm looking to work on hasn't had much care over the past 10 years. In looking through the various information here (there's a lot of it!), here is my plan so far:
(1) Wash - probably a couple of times, using Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner.
(2) Prep - due to neglect, I'm definitely going to clay the vehicle. Follow that up with Ultimate Compound. There are plenty of blemishes on the paint, light scratches and so on, so the third step here I'm planning on Scratch X 2.0
(3) Polish - was thinking of Ultimate Polish, but I'm not sure if the vehicle has a clear coat (1998), and I'm not sure if that polish is the right one to use (as opposed to the Clear Coat Safe Polishing Compound)?
(4) Wax - this is where I'm really unsure... I know there's Carnauba, Ultimate, and NXT, and I'm not sure which of these would give the best result?
All work is being done by hand, time and effort is of no concern, the desired result is the best possible.
Many thanks for anyone's thoughts or opinions on (3) and (4), and suggestions or corrections on any of the above!
