This weekend, I want to apply a sealant and wax to my wife's 2015 Honda Accord. Although I wash the car every week, it is parked outside all the time so the paint will need some cleaning and prep work before I apply the sealant and wax.
I am a bit confused and perhaps overwhelmed by all the possible products and steps available to prep the car's paint. At the very least, I was planning on washing and claying the car prior to applying the sealant and wax. Two additional options I am considering are applying an Iron Decontamination solution to the paint prior to claying. I was also thinking of applying a paint cleanser after claying or perhaps using Meguiar's Ultimate Polish as a paint cleanser at this step.
Is an Iron Decon necessary if I am going to clay and cleanse/polish the paint anyway? Are there any advantages to using a dedicated paint cleanser as opposed to Meguiar's ultimate polish? I realize the answer may have a lot to do with the actual condition of the paint, which is in pretty good shape. But I am curious to hear your thoughts about Iron Decon, Paint Cleansers, and Meguiar's Ultimate Polish prior to applying the sealant and then wax.
Thank you,
