    Sometimes :p

    Other times it can be a nightmare....but at the end of it all, when the car gets it's protection put on, and it's wheels out into the daylight, it makes it all worth while! :D
    It's great standing back and think...DA-YUM, it looks good! :cool:

    Say for instance;

    I fully detailed my car about a month ago (rinse, wash, rinse, de-tar, wash, rinse, clay, wash, rinse, dry, 3 layers of SRP, and a layer of AG EGP). If I want to wash my car again now - what's my best plan of action?

    Do I want to remove the sealant, polish again, and seal again? or do I just snow foam, wash, and rinse?

    I dont want to do the whole process again (yet) because it took me the bones of a whole weekend to do. The car still looks very shiney and very well, it's just a layer of dust on it really.

    No you don't want to remove it! That's supposed to last as long as possible.

    If you're going to snowfoam, use a diluted foam and when washing, use a small amount of shampoo. The less of these 2 things you use, the less chance there is of stripping anything off.

    Also do a panel at a time and don't let the shampoo dry in or it will remove everything.

    In future, you'd be better doing one coat of SRP and 3 of EGP. Polish offers no protection. 3 layers of EGP should last a good while.

    Yeah but 3 layers of SRP will fill ALL THE HOLES including the panel gaps :D

    So if i give it a light snow foam and clean... dont suppose I can top it with another fresh layer of egp at this stage? maybe even a wax?

    You can top it up with any protectant/sealant/wax you want but it may not be necessary. When you hose it down for the final time, you'll see what the beading is like but I would often apply another coat of wax for the craic whether it needed it or not :D

    Just don't use polish because that will be a waste of time and will make sheeeeet of your protective layer.
