The results you folks are getting with this process is amazing. Our ten year old Bigoot is in great shape other than the dulled finish, and since we're going to be putting it on the market soon, I need to get to work on it (or, more accurately, get the sixteen year old kids I plan to hire working on it!)
Obviously, Red Max Pro or Zep are the final step, but there appear to be a lot of different opinions as to the best way to prep. My rig probably has no old wax left on it, so I'm thinking the process should be:
1. Wash the rig thoroughly with Dawn.
2. Go over it again with Bar Tender's Friend, eliminating all black marks, etc.
3. Apply the Red Max, probably four coats.
Any other suggestions?
Because I wax our every year atleast 2 times and some 3 times I ready did the prep to the fullest. I guess your story is different but be sure to get any wax that is in the cracks or around doors where it would builld up. I brush each screw, I guess I brushed every spot on our 2 times. You might give it a TSP wash for the last wash rinising often. You will be a happy camper. I just did out dome satellite and all vents and the AC cover yesterday.
