I have questions as I prepare for my spring cleaning and thinking seriously about ceramic coating my car for the first time, do you use Iron X each spring to decontaminate the paint...even after you use a ceramic coating?
My current twice a year routine:
Wash
Clay
Heavy cut compound to remove scratches (specific areas)
Medium/low cut compound over entire vehicle to smooth out paint
Polish paint to get as much shine as possible
use a sealant (Adam's Paint Sealant)
All this takes me about 8-10 hrs and kicks my a$$ even using my DA but I know pro detailers can do it in a matter of 3-4 hrs if not less.
I'm thinking of buying Iron X to make claying (my least favorite job) easier/faster
What else can I do to make it faster/better.
Going back to ceramic coatings, do you do all these steps twice a year to keep the finish tip top like I do now? What steps do you need to change? I guess I've avoided ceramics because I don't know how to care for them.
