Also, would you mind critiquing my initial order and my thought process for using it:

EcH2O 1L 27.49

Total 415.05 - Ouch *(See Below)


Process for using
1)Foam Lift Presoak
2)Pressure wash Lift and as much dirt and other "stuff" off
3)Descale bucket wash to remove any mineral deposits
4)Tar X wipe down
5)Reset Wash to remove Tar X
6)Iron X wipe down

Would you agree with my purchase and process?

* also, does Carpro US/Sky's the Limit ever have 10/15/20% off sales like some of the other detailing sites? I could definitely use one with an over $400 initial purchase, lol.

This is what I would recommend.

Process for using
1)Foam Lift Presoak
2)Pressure wash Lift and as much dirt and other "stuff" off
3)Foam Descale and leave on the surface
4)Wash with Reset
4)Tar X only needed if there is tar. Skip if there is no tar.
5)Rinse if using tar x
6)Iron X wipe down and rinse or use ironx as a clay lubricant with a clay towel. Rinse once complete. Will save you time from step 7
7)Reset Wash to remove Iron X and use wash as lube for clay (concentrate will be higher than usual to add to lubricity of wash for claying)
8)Ultracut Compound with cutting or polishing pads I already own
9)Eraser to remove Ultra Cut polishing oils. OPTIONAL
10)Use Reflect or Essence but not both. There is no need to as they are both finishing polishes.
11)Eraser
12)Cquartz UK or SiC Coating
13)45 to 60 min later, second Cquartz UK or SiC Coating

Thank you. I noticed you said foam with Descale but not bucket wash with it. Does Descale not perform well as a bucket wash or just cleans off mineral deposits better in foam form? Again, thank you for your reply.

Reset will neutralize the acidic nature of Descale. You are essentially doing a 3 pH wash.

That makes sense, thank you.
