    Cool Back to basics

    OK, this is what I have in mind.

    Clay Prep
    HiTemp Light cut x 1
    Klasse SG x 1
    Trade Secret x 12

    After having the car for about 2 years now, I wanna see how my OG combo holds up. Pics later tonite or tomorrow.

    Sure, it`s shiny, but how smooth is it, and how does it look in direct sunlight?

    Don`t you think it would be a better idea to put down something before the SG so it can bond better? One of the reasons for AIO is to clean off the oils from the polish. And do you plan on doing 12 coats of TS tonight??? I didn`t think so, but you never know. I would just think that putting on more layers of SG before Trade Secret would be better and then going for the wax. But, whatever floats your boat.

    Faster isn`t better. BETTER is better no matter how long it takes.

    Your prep sounds fine to me, but I agree with Jngrbrdman about using AIO and more layers of SG then TS. Then again I like AIO and SG, so I my have a biased opinion. I look forward to seeing the pictures when all the layering is done.

    Have you AIO`d today?

    How long did you wait in between coats of T/S?
