Basically, our 2 month old black Chevy Avalanche and most of the cars I will be detailing, sit outside 24 hours a day. More importantly though, is our Av in particular. Living in Southern Delaware, I have become aware of some pretty nasty ourdoor contaminents floating around. I detail the car each weekend, and it usually looks very nice, but only great after a major clean-up. For instance, I washed & QD'd it this morning, and afterwards it looks great in the shade, but get within 5 feet of a panel in light, and all you can see is tiny spots, marks, and spider web marks. I use Klasse AIO mainly, and there is currently 3 coats of SG over that too. I am no longer using the SG, because I simply don't like the stuff. Nice slickness and beads water better than anything I've ever seen, but the shine sucks and there is no depth to it at all, even on black.
Basically, I'm in a bind. I would love to have the look of Souveran, but need something that's more outdoor friendly. That, and it's a little expensive (even though I've already spent at least twice as much trying other stuff!). I do however love the Klasse AIO, and the results I get from it. I'm willing to apply something every 2-3 weeks to keep the car looking it's best, and the guy from tacscar emailed me recommending that I put Platinum over the AIO to get the results I want. Should this work well, especially for a car outside 24 hours a day.
I want a carnuba look and ease, but also want black paint that's as close to flawless as possible. I like putting a little elbow grease into what I do, to get great results.
Oh yeah, to wash, I use Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo, a pure Sheepskin mit, and then dry with a water blade and the Absorber. Are any of these things part of my problem?
When your as anal as I am about these things, the results I'm getting can really make you mad!
