I've claybared very recently so no need to do that again.

- BMW Shampoo with Gilmour Foam Gun & Sheepskin mitt
- Dry with sheeting method, leaf blower and mf ww
- Optimum Compound with PC7424 and Orange Pad (on areas that need it)
- Optimum Polish with PC7424 and White Pad
- Duragloss 105 TPP with PC7424 and White Pad
- Duragloss 951 Aquawax spray-on with microfibre

Or should I use the 105 for the next few weeks, building up a few layers before I use the 951?

I have never used DG 105, but I would recommend using a less/no abrasive pad such as a black or blue pad instead. Two layers should be sufficient, and if you use the aquawax every wash your paint will be well protected since aquawax adds protection as well.

Good advice, thanks. And yes, I'll be using the AW after every wash.

Your process is fine just use the blue or black like said above. Two coats of DG105 should be plenty of protection and Aquawax to maintain every other wash. Great stuff!

Go Gooners!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And here's an "after" shot at a local meet...

Very pleased with the results. Needs another coat of 105 next week and then I'll start with the AW.
