Hey guys, sorry in advance for the long post. Skip to the last couple paragraphs if you want the goods.
To set the stage here: I daily drive my 2012 Race Red/White Boss and don't have a garage (soon to change in about 2 months). I live in Oklahoma which basically translates to having every possible weather combination possible throughout the year. Right now, it's hot but we are having a rainy summer compared to normal.
My question is: will my current kit harm paint, rims, etc? Current car condition is pretty good with only a ding or two and light paint swirling.
Current Setup:
Armorall Wash and Wax Soap (know it's not the best but seems to work)
Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Wax (not the liquid)
2 buckets (no grit guards one for paint and one for wheels)
Mitt for washing paint
Sponge for washing rims/wheels
Tire brush (never use it though)
Armorall Tire Gel
Super absorb synthetic chamois for drying
Hose with regular water and a decent nozzle for different spray settings
I only full detail with Wax once a year and it seems to work (my last 07 GT was black and looked pretty new). Especially interested in the polish before you wax technique as I have some light paint swirling going on and want to minimize or even eliminate it. Just looking for advice on things to change or consider adding if you guys don't mind.
Thanks for reading! This is the best 302 forum on the web hands down!
Sincerely,
Mason
