>>> Detailed S4 <<<

[2PUTT]

Found some detailing inspiration when I stopped by Phil's place this morning. I also did not feel like cutting my grass or raking all the leaves today. [:D]

I only had the chance to detail most of the car. I will have to finish up the rest tomorrow. Today's process took just under 3 hours.

1. Wash - AP Car Wash
2. Clay - AP Clay Bar + AP Detail Spray
3. AP Swirl and Haze Remover
4. AP Revive Polish
5. AP BSG
6. AP Butter Wax

Tool: Porter Cable with the 2 sided pads.

By buildup, I'm assuming by the edge of the bra and paint.

If I were to use a paste wax, I would probably either:

A. tape off the line with thin tape, if forced to use a paste wax.

B. Use a soft-boar hair brush to remove residue stuck.

C. Avoid using a paste wax, and use a synthetic wax/sealant instead. (Depending on location of bra)

[MaRsTaInAgE]

If you're careful you can use your fingernail to get the white buildup from the seam....or use a bodyshine with a microfiber and run it along the seams.

thanks for all the comments and suggestions. i tried using Q-tips with some AP detail spray. it worked fine.

so there is no point to put wax on your clear bra areas than, right?

they recommend that you wax the clear bra. it serves as a sunblock for the film.
