Default It's all about prep.

First a pick of the tahoe after a trip around the block in the rain. The tahoe has Natty's blue on it from a 2 months ago, washed weekly. I'm not comparing the natty's to the cg, only illustrating the amount of moisture out there in many of my morning drives.


Next are the shots of the Audi with cg 5050 on it. this is after driving the wife in this morning for an hour, then making a quick trip around the block.






The process is as follows,

Wash,
clay,
compound edge 2000 green pad with menzerna ip I hit trouble areas twice, Trunk, fenders and lip of hood.
Polish edge 2000 blue pad with menzerna FPII 1066ff I hit the trouble areas twice for chitz and giggles
Seal edge 2000 blue pad (i have seperate for polish and seal) menzerna FMJ

Wait 9 days because of work,home, and life.

wash
buff dry
Seal with edge 2000 blue and menzerna FMJ

wait 6 days because of life work and home.

wash,
buff dry
Apply chemical guys 5050 wax with polishing pal and blue pad. Wipe on wipe off method.

picture of the car from this last weekend.
