Ask a detailer

**spikester7878** · 10-19-2015, 05:10 PM

As of today I am a new sponsor for LTXtech, and have been the owner/operator of autoocd.com for a bit. I have over 10 years of detailing experience, and decided to make it my profession. So if you have any detailing questions give me a shout on here. I can offer tips about many detailing processes, and provide information about products I have used so far. Also don't be afraid to give me input as I always enjoy input that can help me learn something new.

Just reuped my sponsorship. I think I might change this thread a bit and make it part how too as well. As always feel free to ask any detailing related questions. I might also start doing product reviews since I am always trying out new stuff.

The biggest thing with any detail is the prep work you do first. The real key is minimizing swirls, and removing contaminates (Iron removers/claybar). Wax is the last step (well second to last if you use a detail spray). I never really bought into the color specific wax or super high dollar wax being better. My personal favorite is Chemicals guys Petes 53 because its super easy to put on and remove, plus it smells pretty good. Dodo juice is also a good brand for waxes. This being said Wax preference is highly subjective as are most products in detailing. I honestly don't use much wax anymore since I started using carpro reload. It will give you better protection and the same pop as wax, but uses silicon dioxide which is a form of ceramic coating. You apply it as you would a typical spray sealant. Spray on the towel, then do a cross hatch pattern with the towel to ensure complete coverage, then buff off.

The Porsche and Ram are waxed traditionally. I used reload on the SS and GTO

If you're looking for an off the shelf product Meguiar's and Griots waxes are pretty good and can be purchased at autozone (Griots is the harder one to find Megs is everywhere).
