First proper detailing
Hello everybody!
First of all I want to say that my first language is not english.
So I have detailed my car many years, but I never had use polishing machines. This time I plan to buy DA Polisher ( DAS-6 PRO Plus) and detail my car properly. I have read and watch a lot of videos how to machine polish car with DA. I have found out that DAS-6 PRO Plus is beginner friendly and really capable polisher.
I talk all my steps I have to take and looking forward your advice if its right. So I´m living in Estonia and we have really cold winters (can go up to -30C / -22F) and summers ( +30C / 86F). In winter we have a lot of snow and on roads are used salt. Previously I have used Carnauba wax but it wont last long, because I have to use chemicals to eliminate salt and asphalt (iron / tar) from car. This time I want seal my car with CQUARTZ UK (two layesr on car and wheels).
I plan to buy 50ml kit, is it enough for Audi A6 (C7) saloon - 2 layers?
Steps I take:
- Apply IronX and TAR remover - afetr few minutes pressure wash
- Wash the car two bucket method (with dirt quard)using detail brushes. Using CarPro Reset shampoo
- If needed repeat Iron x and TAR and wash it again.
- Dry car with microfiber towels and air.
- Then I use clay block and clay bars with claylube. Is it necessary to wash the car again?
- After that masking with tape the sensitive areas.
- Measure paint thickness and mark everything on car diagramm (4-8 measures per panel).

I´ll start with less cutting polishes and look what works best for me. I don´t have deep scratches, only swirls and light scratches. After that I plan to use CarPro - Reflect High Gloss Polish and after that CarPro - Essence Gloss Enhancer. - Then I use CarPro Eraser - Intense Oil and Polish Cleanser.
- Then apply CQUARTZ UK small sections at the time (working temp. 15-20C)and wipe down after few minutes. As I understand I have to apply second layer before one hour? After hour of second layer I use Reload spray. And park the car to direct sun light for faster healing. I would´t wash the car for next 7 days with shampoo and fist 48 hours avoid water.
Thank you for your time and I hope to get a lot of feedback
