Default Winter prep

I got all my winter paint work done came out great i give the run down for any one else .
1 washed with mothers gold class car wash make sure you use the proper amount for it will strip you wax in the future. wiped down with mico fiber towel
2 clayed the really bad spots like the hood and front bumper and behind the wheel wells wipe with mico fiber towel
3 used #4 compound on all the light scraches at speed #7 on orbital buffer wipe with mico fiber towel use separte pad to apply do not soak pad in compund
4 used and polish to get the color out of the paint some polishes are better suited for diffrent colors so pick your wisely.#5 on buffer wipe with mico fiber towel do not share towels use separte pad to apply do not soak pad in polish
5 used poor boys cleaner sealant ant speed #3 or 4 dry to haze wipe with mico fiber towelalso do not share towel use separte pads to apply do not over apply sealant.
6 use collinite wax and set speed on #3 on buffer dry to haze and wipe with micro fiber towel do not wet the car for 24Hrs can re apply wax after the 24hrs for extra protection
All pad are subject to what kind of buffers your using and waxes polishes and sealants.
Hope this helps you guys during the winter months
