1. search - tons of info on this. i just did the whole deal on my car and loved it.

1. wash

3. wash

4. swirl remover

5. sealant
remove
6. wax
remove
i used the tropi-care sampler kit. really happy with the turn out car is really really smooth. would really suggest doin it in a garage to be in the shade. its alot of work so be ready. and once u start u have to finish it cause when u clay bar u take all the old wax off and really need to put a fresh layer on.

if this is the first time for u doin this which im sure it is. for one be ready for your shoulder and lower back to be sore. and it took me about 6 hours to do all that with some breaks in there. i also did all my rims and tires and glass.

do a search.

1st you clay bar the car, then I like to use a glaze. After that I wax the car. I apply with a orbital buffer and I cleaned up my paint by lightly compounding the car with my High speed buffer when I first got the car (3 years ago) to get rid of all the light faint swirls/scratches in the clear coat. It could use it again....

clay first (with the hose running on the car haha dont do it dry and throw a little soap on the clay)
I like Maguirre's NGX paste (wax) it gives a nice deeper righer look and makes all little scratches go away, i bought a little 5" orbital and use a microfiber cover for removeing the wax works great
i wouldnt polish my car unless the paint was older and needed to be brought back up
i also wouldnt use anything high speed like a buffing wheel unless your paint is old
good luck

4- Optimum Polish at 4500 RPM on porter cable with white polishing pad from Lake county
5- Red Moose glaze at 2000 RPM with blue finishing pad

Here’s what I usually do:

1) Wash
2) Claybar
3) Cleaner Paste Wax
4) 2 coats of Liquid Wax (I prefer Meguirs Gold Class)
5) Finish up with a quick spray wax
