Weekend Detailing PLan

So I am getting together with a friend to do some detailing on Saturday..

Here is my plan for my Pastel Yellow Boxster. PLease critique as needed..

1) Wash
2) Clay front fenders
3) Wash
4) Maguiar's Paint Cleaner (#1 in 3 step Deep Crystal System) for minor scratch and swirl removal
5) 50/50 Alcohol Wash to remove anything left on the surface

Next are the Zaino Steps

6) Z1
7) Z2
8) Z6
9) Z2
10) Z6
11) Z8

What do you guys think of this plan.. The car has virtually no swirl marks, but a couple of minor mini swirls and mini scuffs, which will easilly come out.

Mike

I think just claying the front fascia/fenders is a good idea to save yourself some time. It seems that the front end comes into contact with the majority of crap that sticks to the paint even after a wash(bugs). Maybe I'm way off but it seems that claying the whole car is alot of work for not much in return. I just picked up some clay so I will find out this weekend if all this clay hype is true. BTW I use Zaino too and I really like that stuff.

If you're gonna waste all of that time putting on Zaino, then clay the whole car. Don't skimp!

Post pics when you're done.

Talking

I have never used Zaino but it seems like a TON of work.

My process.

Clay the whole car
No need to wash again, as detailer spray will clean sufficiently.
Klasse All In One
Klasse Sealant.

Go to the Beach!
