Again, BE SURE to break the towel in on the glass to remove the protective factory coating on it!

Fold it in quarters like the video shows, 1 side on windshield, 1 side on drivers side, 1 side on passenger, 1 side on back glass.

Rinse towel with hose or in a bucket with grit guard, then start on paint.

Be sure car has been washed, paint is cool to the touch, and your in the shade. No need to dry car after washing.

Use plenty of lube, spray a section around 2'x2' to 3'x3', also spray some lube on the section of the towel your going to use on the paint. Glide it across surface with only enough pressure to keep it on surface, very light.

You'll hear and feel the contaminates, as soon as it runs smooth, use a high quality microfiber to remove clay residue, I like RC Everest 1100's, but use what you like, as long as it's a high quality towel.

If the car has never been clayed before, flip it after each section to a fresh side. If it only has light contamination, you can use it for 2-3 sections before flipping.

Check your section after completion with a sandwich baggie to ensure all contaminates are removed.

If you drop the prep towel on the ground, take it to a sink and rinse well with warm water before continuing.

Once your done with polising the car, Do a wipe down with a 10% Isopropyl Alcohol/Distilled water mixture, or Carpro Eraser.

This will remove any residue you may have missed and ensure the powerlock bonds to the paint.

Apply/remove your powerlock. For longest protection with it, apply a second coat 12 hours after first has been removed.

Thank you so much! Cant wait to try it this weekend! I don't post or comment much on here but I lurk around a lot! I printed and used all the guides and suggestions you have posted. Scandata, Ccmadonna, bobby35ny, and others have shared so much knowledge!

I will purchase the All Paint Protection. Not sure why I didn't since I have everything else from BF. The only thing I don't really use is the Detail Spray, I think the Adams seems to work better
