    First things first: since my back has been bothering me I don't have a lot of energy to devote to detailing my car and my wife's SUV so...

    I started detailing my car for the big spring push last week. It is a 2010 Lexus IS350C in Ultrasonic Blue Mica. I've done the following...
    ONR wash (btw, LSP is way gone now since last fall)
    Iron X treatment (did this last Monday).

    Was about to clay it but time and energy got in the way. My original plan was to clay, polish/correct/ and Opticoat each panel at a time as I could. Now I'm thinking of claying it and slapping some Optiseal on it and postponing correction etc till later.

    Bottom line correction: what are the big drawbacks of doing one panel at a time over say a period of 3-6 weeks? What would you do if you were in my situation?

    TIA,
    Tony

    I honestly don't see anything wrong with doing one panel at a time... if that's all you got time for, it's better to do one panel a day, but do it right, as opposed to spending a day on the entire car and rushing it...

    Tried the rush job before - definitely no fun waiting for LSP to haze at 11pm and that's when I had a garage ;)
