Hello, this is my first post here.



I've read many guides on this site and other sites about how to properly clean my new car. I believe I got the majority of it but I am a little confused on whether or not I apply Aquawax and then S100/P21S or S100/P21S then Aquawax. Which way do I do it?





Also could someone just look this over and tell me if the procedure is correct?





1) Wash the car (Optimum No Rise and Shine)

2) Claybar the car (Claymagic or Ultimate Detailing Clay for nicer cars)

3) Polish (Sonus SFX1,2 and 3)

4) Pre-Wax (Klasse All-in-One followed by Klasse Acrylic Glaze)

5) Waxing (Aquawax and than S100)?



I understand the wheels, engine bay and interior just fine. So ignore those parts for now.



The new car in question is a 2007 Volvo S40 (just got it last week), and I will be getting a new C6 this August. So I want to practice on the Volvo so the Corvette comes out perfect (or as close to it as possible).
 
1) Try both ways, it wont hurt that combo. If you do aw-p21s the carnuba will spread a little easier. Also, try going AW-P21S-AW. You also might find that you like the look of p21s untopped. It really depends what you think looks best. Either way will work.



2) Procedure looks good, just make sure you polish in the correct order from most abrasive to least abrasive. Finish with the finest polish. Additionally, KAIO, KSG, AW, and s100 are all kind of LSP's. IF you want max protection you could go that route you listed. If you will be waxing often (1-2x per month) with the p21s you may find that you like the look of just KAIO and s100.
 
Whenever using carnauba, I use it as a topper for polymers since I like its look better. So I would do a thin coat of AW, let it cure overnight, and top with S100. In fact, I am planning on topping my 2-day old AW coat with S100 or NB just this weekend myself.
