Do I have this order/steps correct?

So I want to wash, clay bar, polish, and seal my car [in my parking garage, hence the ONR wash].



-Pretreat extra nasty areas with P21S TAW

-Wash with ONR using 2 bucket system [sheepskin mit for paint and MF mit for wheels and dirtier areas]

-Dry with WW MF towels as I am washing, as per ONR instructions

-Clay with Clay Magic blue clay bar and S&W as clay lube

-Wipe down with AW mix

-Polish with Flex using 106FF

-Another AW wipedown [do I really need to do an AIO? Is so, how would I apply it? - Seems like a lot of extra work compared to a AW wipedown]

-Seal with JS 109





How am I? I don't really care to put any special LSP on top of the JS. My car is white and will look great just being super clean, smooth, and Jet Sealed.



Thanks!
 
Process looks good. If the 106ff gets all the defects out then stick with that otherwise step up to something stronger. If you finish with the 106ff then an AIO won't make much of a difference on a white car. Have fun.

Well when do I need to do an AW wipedown?

Welcome to Autopia!



What do you mean by "an AW wipedown"? I somehow suspect you might not mean AW= AquaWax :think:



FWIW, I'd probably want to do AIO myself.

Alcohol [isopropyl] and water. I have read that at some point this is a good thing to do to remove any possible surface sealants, wax, etc. to prepare the car for a new coat of sealant and maybe polishing. That's what I need clarification on if anyone can help me. :wall
 
Do an alcohol wipedown after you're finished polishing. It removes the residue from the car and preps it for a sealant/wax
 
ProPedderKustom- Having given it some thought, I think I'd go with an IPA/Prepsol wipe; 106FF can really surprise you by concealing stuff you'd swear was really gone. If you were using another polish I'd probably say to just use the AIO.
