Question on Detailing... Ok, ive waxed and washed my car numerous times. Now i want to do a full-detail, I recently purchased Mothers clay bar and Showtime detail spray, Meguires Scratch X for my swirl marks (car is black) and i have Gold Class Clear coat Wax.
My question is since i have never clayed or detailed a car to the full extent...what should be my steps in appying these products?
Thanks for the advice..

It gets alot more detailed than that especially on a black car.
1. Wash/rinse
2. Start clay barrng the car. Tip use car soap as the lube. Its faster and its safer and you dont waste all that showtime.
3. Use a cleaner wax first and then the scratch X then a sealer/glaze/polish.
4. Wax. Microfiber towels and a orbital buffers work the best for step 3 and 4.
5. With a microfiber towel use that showtime and wipe down the hole car.

yes I reccomend a polish in between there multiple coats of turtle wax ice should work good since its so easy to apply and then you use a good wax on top of it hope you arms won't get tired in between all of this
