lmost ready!
« on: 11 April 2010, 20:51 »
Hi guys,
          Going to be detailing my car this weekend, weather permitting. Been waiting on a few more products being delivered so now they're here am itching to give them a try. I have a few more questions if any of you could obilige

Claying - Can i clay the full car ( exterior ) bumpers, grill etc or just stick to the painted panels?

Jetseal 109 - Can this be applied on everything ( exterior ) again bumpers, grill, plastics & lights etc, and what about the windows/windshield?

Window seals/rubbers - these need cleaned up a good bit, what can i use to take the residue off so i am left wish fresh/clean rubber?

clay all painted surfaces,all windows and wheels.

jetseal can go on the paint obviously :wink: lights and windows except the windscreen( wax or sealant should never be put on the windscreen) not on black plastics either ie bumper plastic, painted bumpers are fine though :wink: headlights and rear lights are fine.

rubbers can be wiped down with apc on a cloth then wiped with a plain damp cloth to remove apc residue
