Extra Tips for Red LCR

[NickLCR]

I've always been sort of into detailing, will often spend the whole day every month giving it a good polish and wax. All I want now is a decent glaze for that extra deep shine.

My process at the moment is;

Rinse
Snowfoam
Rinse
Wash
Rinse
Dry
Super Resin Polish (either 1 or 2 coats)
Collinite 476 (1 coat)

What glaze do you reccomend squeezing in between the polish and wax? And any other tips on the red beast?

Something like DoDo juice Lime Prime Light would make a good step between the SRP and Wax.

Lime Prime Light was designed as a cleanser but makes an excellent glaze as well.

Or, try DoDo Juice Lime Prime and delete the need to use SRP so often.

Lime Prime is a cleanser with very light abbrasives in it, by hand it wont remove any clear coat but does make the paint silky smooth for the wax application.

Also, to deepen the lustre of the finish go for 2 coats of wax at least 48 hours apart.

Edit: Actually, thinking about it. Colli 476 is a pretty durable wax so you shouldnt need to be reapplying every month. Try something like DoDo Juice Red Mist Spray Sealant or Zaino Z-8 spray sealant, this will give you an uber deep shiny finish without the needs to strip and re apply wax (which you are doing when you use SRP.

I've read about Red Mist, only read good things about it. Do you just use it like a quick detailer, spray on wipe off? Easy as that?

Red Mist is awesome!!

Yes its just a spray and wipe product basically. Use it after waxing for a bit if extra shine, or between waxes to give it that just waxed look.

Very nice results.

Red Mist (original) is fairly easy to use and is a spray on, wipe around then buff off product. It evaporates really quickly though so you have to use it on a small area, if you havent spread it around or buffed it off in time it can smear. An extra spray sorts it but it can make it difficult to use.

Red Mist Tropical is the same product but contains slightly less solvents and doesnt evaporate so quickly. It was originally designed for hotter countries but can be bought over here as it works just as good and is easier to apply.

Just dont apply red mist after you just waxed the car, wait 24-48 hours after.

Yeh I've been reading Detailing World, I'll probably just use Red Mist after the washes where i'm not polishing and waxing.
