Order, Order, i'll have a ham and cheese on rye

Ok, strange title (stooge flashback) but I have a question of what order to use with my order. I ordered my Banana gloss already and waiting impatiently for it to arrive. I Amigo'd an Epic'd my 05 MCSC in February.

Here's the question: Should I....

A) Go ahead with the full detail next month as I planned which includes strip wax, clay, Amigo (maybe swirl), Epic, and now Banana Gloss

*or*

B) Just slap on a layer of Banana Gloss when it gets here and wait another month or two before doing the full detail. I guess if I did this and really liked the BG I could skip the Epic all together.

Thoughts, especially you testers out that that are already familiar?

Since it's been about 6 months since you applied Epic, it might be a good time to do a complete overhaul.

Here is my plan on using BG,(which I just found out will be here Monday) My car has many different test areas on it right now, some Amigo/Epic, some Swirl/Amigo/Epic, some just Epic, some left over Banana Gas sample. I would now like to do the whole car Swirl/Amigo/Epic and get it back to a twice a year cycle, but I don't want to do this before mid to late fall, so that I have maximum protection on for the winter.

So what I plan on doing is Amigo/BG sections of both MINIs over the next week or so. This should get them into the fall when they will get the full treatment. I plan on going over Epic with BG also, as I will be able to do this in almost any weather during the winter.

Oh, I will clay before any Amigo applications.

That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it
