What should i be doing?



Exactly what was suggested for darker colors directly above (and quoted below).

I think ^^ plays a huge role. Do you want the most longevity? Do you want the most depth?


For T-Red, I would recommend:
1. thorough wash
2. thorough clay
3. Menzerna Final Polish II (to remove swirls/scratches)
One of the most recommended
4. AIO (to clean, polish, seal)
Good bridge to next step
5. Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection (sealant)
6. Natty's Blue ("topper")

I'll be using this combo this weekend on the above 95 green Accord.

If you want fewer steps:
1. thorough wash
2. thorough clay
3. AIO
4. Klasse SG
5. S100/P21S

Use a good detailing spray. The difference between even Meguiar's QD and Zaino's QD is dramatic. I've tried about 10 different kinds and alwasy go back to Zaino Z-6.





NXT is a solid all-in-one, but doesn't have the longevity.

Using just an all-in-one is not what's best. No all-in-one will give you what individual products will. You want something to represent each step to give you the best. Polish, cleanse, seal, top. Maintain with a quality QD.
