Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. Washing the wheels. Use regular car soap and a dedicated sponge, brush and bucket. This ensures you won’t transfer metal particles to your paint. You can also use the decon iron remover first but I prefer to use the iron remover while spraying the entire car down.
Step 2. Remove tar, sap or any other large contaminants that may transfer or smear from wiping your wash mitts over them during the car wash.
Step 3. Wash your car. Use a couple wash mitts to spread things a lot and remember that using two buckets helps keep your mitts clean. Rinse your mitts often so to not contaminate you clean soapy water. I use a ph balanced car wash soap which is listed in the product list.
Step 4. Dry your car in preparation for the iron remover. You can use shop air or clean microfibers for this.
Step 5. Stage 1 decontamination. Spray the iron particle remover on the entire exterior surface of the car and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Use water to rinse but make sure to spend extra time on trim and any area the solution can hide. You need to get this all off the car.
Step 6. Stage 2 decontamination. Dry the car after rinsing the iron remover and bring the car into a room temperature garage or room. Spray a clay bar lubricate or quick detailer on the glass and rub your prep mitt over the glass to not only clean it, but break in the mitt as well. After the glass is complete do the same this to the painted surfaces.
Step 7. Wipe the car down with a 25% solution of rubbing alcohol and get ready to polish.
Step 8. Prep you polishing by spreading the compound evenly.
Step 9. Pick out a 2x2 section of the car and first rub the compound on the pad on that section. After its spread turn your machine on and start polishing. Work back and forth in a grid motion and keep your pad flat on the surface. Use very light pressure and allow the machine to do the work. After about 5 passes, wipe the section clean and inspect with a paint inspection light. You are looking for fine scratches in the clear coat. Repeat until you are satisfied with the clarity. Depending on the color of your car and how far you want to go, you may need to move to a second stage with a finer pad and/or compound.
Step 9. After polishing the entire car, wipe it down one more time with the 25% rubbing alcohol.
Step 10. You are now ready to apply ceramic coating. Again, work in about a 2x2 section for this step. Wrap the supplied application sponge with the supplied black suede. This is included in the new Avalon Kings Armor Shield 9 ceramic coating kit. To prep thee suede, use about 5-6 drops of the coating. Apply an even amount of coating to your 2x2 section and act quickly. Use a grid pattern to make sure you’ve covered all of the surface. Refer to the temperature chart on Avalon Kings site but about 1 minute works well in a room temperature environment. To speed things along coat one section and while its drying coat a completely different part of the car. Just remember what you’ve coating. After coating the entire car let it dry for at least 4 hours before driving. Wait 24 hours before driving in the rain.
