First time poster here...with a few questions. I posted on Autopia but the folks there gave no responses. Thanks guys. Anyway, I hope you can be of help.
I have some "enthusiast" detailing experience. Used Meguiar's for years and as of late tried Zaino products on various cars (especially my black Acura CL since it was new and it always looked great). Now the Acura is gone in favor of a new midnight blue Honda Pilot for my wife. I "inherited" her 2001 silver RAV4 on a temporary basis (meaning, the road to my new Corvette runs through a Honda dealership ).
The RAV4 paint is in very good shape, however it hasn't been waxed regularly and while still shiny, I know there is probably a layer of slight oxidation there. I will clay the entire car, but I'd like to know what you recommend to prep the surface for Meguiar's after I clay. Just needs a light cleaning and Meguiar's paint cleaner may be a bit too rough. Something slightly milder?
Also...anything to keep in mind about the Honda's new paint? The Acura had lousy paint and it was a chore to keep it clean.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
