whiplash willy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Here is my current plan for preping my car for my OC2.0 applicationPlease give me feedback on my current plan to prep: (Diff products, additional steps, anything) Car Paint Condition Before Prep: My 2012 VW Golf will be about 2 months old by the time I have time to apply OC2.0. I am not sure what the dealer has done with the paint, but so far it is flawless. I park it in the garage and hand wash it every week. I have done nothing to the paint but wash it. 1. Wash normally, and use Power Clean (3:1) to get the tough areas like the rocker panels that my have grease and road tar. Rinse well. 2. Clay Bar the entire car (Including Plastic headlights and tail lights that I will be applying OC2.0 to) 3. Light polish of any scratches or swirls (Likely won’t have any) (I have Menzerna Polishes, and a Porder Cable DA buffer) *After Claying and possible polishing, I don’t know if I should wash the car again, or just move on to my step 4. 4. Use CarPro Eraser Intense Oil & Polish Cleanser to remove any clay residue, or anything else 5. Apply Opti Coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiplash willy Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 I do want to coat my wheels, and will try to if I have time, but the car body is my first priority. If I do the wheels, I will completely remove them and coat everything! I am not a fan of Dawn washes, so maybe I will use Optimum polishes so I can skip that step. I am becomign a big fan of Optimum products, and will be switching over to them when I run out of my other stuff. (Opti-Bond Tire Gel is the first Optimum product I have used and instantally turned me into an Optimum fan! Awesome stuff!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfections Detail Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 All of the new formula compounds and polishes are amazing, you won't be disappointed, I've been a longtime menzerna user in my business and still have a ton of it laying around, it's just hard to use it once you've tried the new optimum offerings.
