The decision wasn't that hard to make.
When my wife asked me if I wanted to go and buy a baby shower gift with her at the mall or stay at home, well, I made the only choice a car guy could make. I decided to hang with my "mistress." my Stelvio TI.
After all, it was a balmy 82 degrees outside today in San Diego (or 28 Celsius for our European friends.) and their was no way, I wanted to be at a store looking at baby clothes, lol.
After hand washing my car, I went to work: started with Griot's pre-wax cleaner solution that prepares the paint. Then I clay the paint using Griot's Speed shine to moisturize the surface while claying. Finally, I seal the paint with SONAX Profline sealer spray using one of their sponge applicators.
Guys, this sealer is the bomb. You don't need to bring out your orbital polisher, just use clean, soft, microfiber towels to rub off after use. Since it's made in Germany, it's quality stuff and you'll love the way it lasts.
Other notable items used:
Wurth cockpit care (low gloss satin sheen)
SONAX plastic care (Exterior) - this spray is expensive, but well worth it. It last 2-4 car washes in most cases and leaves a muted not gaudy luster to the exterior plastic molding around the car. Trust me, you'll throw away the Armor All junk or 303 Aerospace Protectant sprays which disappear at the first sign of moisture.
I used other products for the interior leather and tires but more on that later, adios amigos!
