Default Black A4 and a noob at detailing. Can I do Menzerna IP > P21S GEPC > Klasse AIO...

Or do I need to do the Menzerna FP prior to the GEPC?

Basically I am looking to take care of my car but not spend my life on it.

Here is my usual routine...

1. Zymol Cleaner
2. Klasse AIO


Now the car is 2 years old and has fading, swirls and watermarks. The pain is looking less of a deep black and more of a lighter black so I know these weaker waxes arent helping anymore.

Here were my thoughts for taking care of her this year.

Something I have been thinking will do the job but would prefer not to do due to it being finacially and time consuming...

1. Menzerna IP
2. Menzerna FP
3. P21S GEPC or Zymol Cleaner Wax (already own)
4. Klasse AIO (already own)
5. P21S Wax

I'd like to see what steps I could cut out or if I am just completely off on this stuff. Here is what I would like to do instead or would like your help on telling me what would be best...

1. Menzerna IP
2. P21S GEPC or Zymol Cleaner Wax (already own)
3. Klasse AIO (already own)

I am wondering if my second idea will work. What do you all think? Again, a black car that is looking a bit poor now.

Thank you in advance.

cheers! Mike

Default Use IP followed by FP and then top with P21S. This should do you well in the summer months

Only downside is the durablity of the P21S. The car will look great using this method

Default

Thank you sir. Perhaps I could substitute the P21S for Klasse for durability?

Default you can use them all together if you choose, I would honestly use Menzerna FMJ after IP and FP

or another high end sealant. On black I have had success with blackfire also. I used to use P21 but I was waxing every 2 weeks to keep the level of shine I desired so now I use it only on my fathers and my grandfather garage queens.

Default 2nd, I just did my S4 with those products, and the thing looks like glass.

Once you get the hang of the PC (thanks to S4 Bloom & LIS4 and others). It is idiot proof. I do hate pollen.
