Hey all...



Previously I have worked with my BLUE Toyota MR2 pictured here:

(Small pictures, 56k OK, sorry no closeups)



The car looks 'wet' and VERY deeper in person, and I think it came out GREAT.



My process for the above was.



1. Dawn soap entire car.

2. Rinse with a lot of water to make sure all soap is off.

3. Claybar entire car.

4. Dawn soap entire car again.

5. Rinse again.

6. Dry entire car.

(Sat to dry until noticable water was gone but enough left to dry/spread and not leave streaks or spots. Used new cotton tell small movements/dabbing.)

7. Use Meguiars #7 Polish.

(Polish area then whipe off. I waited 10 minutes before applying the wax over the polished area to ensure that it was dryed/soaked up.[In case the whipe off didn't remove 100%])

8. Use Meguiars NXT Wax.

(Wax area, and let sit for 30 minutes, and then remove.. removes VERY EASILY)

(Hood didn't get #7 under wax, I did it at night and didn't have any)



(Later I topped the NXT with #26 for an even better 'wet' look not sure if this was 'OK' but it seemed to work - opinions?)



---------- Now the question ---------------



My car is now for sale, and I recently got my new vehicle a 2006 Blazin-Yellow Ford F250.

Now I`m curious if the above process will work as well on the bright yellow or if there is another method I should go after. I must say that I am VERY MUCH a perfectionist and have no problem spending multiple days on the vehicle letting it sit in the garage until I can start-up again/finish.

(The paint had some overspray that was removed by the claybar, but if I`m goign to put 10hrs into the car I would/will re-claybar to ensure 100% removal. So just because it's a new car I still believe I need to take every step.)



What should I do for this truck?
 
If you were happy with the results with those products then give it a try. If not there is a lot of info under product discussions.

I was happy with them for the blue, I just was curious if anyone had any suggestions for a bright yellow vehicle that may help it even more.
 
I just did a full make-over on my Cavalier using the following steps:



Wash w/extra strong mixture of Gold Class soap

Clay Magic blue clay

Meguiars DC Step 1 via P/C + polishing pad @ setting 5

Meguiars #9 via P/C + polishing pad @ setting 5

NXT liquid, P/C, finishing pd @ setting 3 (X2)

Collinite Insulator Wax, P/C, finishing pad @setting 4 (X2)



BTW in these pics the car is dirty, it had been driven in the rain the night before and not washed.
