Using Prima Epic?

So tomorrow I am going to give my MCS a nice little wash and wax. I ordered some Epic when DP had the sale last week so I want to give it a try.

I currently have a PC along with Finish and Amego in my inventory. My question to you more experienced is what would be the best combo/order of doing this? Would it be best to use Finish or Amigo first and then Amigo with a black pad?

I am all ears

Depends on condition of your finish. Finish first, if needed, then Amigo, then Epic.

Unless your paint is pristine, you're going to need something stronger than Finish or Amigo before you seal it up with Epic.

Even when my Coopers were just six months old (probably when they were one day old, the way dealerships treat them), they needed Swirl.

Pull it out in the sun and take a close look. If you see the kind of paint you don't mind sealing up, then proceed with your Amigo and then Epic. If you do that with paint that isn't smooth and nearly perfect, you won't be happy and you'll be doing it all over again in a few weeks. Well... I'm guessing you're as OCD as some of us since you did invest in the PC and Prima products.

Yup I am as OC as the rest of yall!

The black roof I was for sure going to use the swirl on because you can see it there. The rest of the silver paint is clean clean clean!

Thanks for the replies!
