^ AGREED
Some clay products introduce marring or micro-marring. Inspect the paint when done.
Again as Reflections Detail stated above I agree, It is always best to remove all residue.
Sometimes I rewash. You can use diluted IPA spray. I prefer to use Eraser before applying the LSP.

Also to answer the op question about getting a "full detail" you can plan on setting aside at least $500
I know that seems really high but consider that it would take a pro detailer 15+ hours then the hourly rate seems appropriate. To make it seem reasonable think of a lawyers hourly rate.

Honestly, I would look into doing it yourself. Once you do an actual detail, you'll realize how much money you can save. I guess to me it would be only worth it if you never had a weekend to set aside to do this and have the money.

I used just the collinite and the shine is fabulous but my truck is new and the Ruby red has metal flake in it. But even being new I could tell what a difference it made immediately it's been a little over a month I guess and still shines like the day I applied it.
I'll never use any other brand or type, also didn't need a buffer as the stuff goes on easy and comes off just as easy, the buffer would speed up the process but it didn't take long by hand.
