I'll try to do my girlfriends Jeep Grand Cherokee for the second time,everything will be done by hand,I'm really concern about the outside.

Here's what I have :

Maguire's Car Shampoo ( Gold Class )
Maguire's Wax ( Gold class liquid )
Maguire's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray
Maguire's Hot Rims /Cool Care All Wheel Cleaner
Rain X
Mothers California Gold Clay Bar System

The 1st time I only washed,no wax or clay,was too hot.Next time I want to be done right.Remember all this will be done by hand. :(
Am I missing something ?What would be the right procedure for the products I have.

Can you guys guide my on the step by step on this.

Thanks a lot
 
It would help if you had some polish. Based on what you have look for a cool place to work on the Jeep. Under a tree or garage. With the clay bar that you have get a spray bottle with ONE! drop of dish soap filled with water. After washing spray the soloution on a samll spot about 2 x 2 feet.Flatten the clay out and rub the paint. Wipe down the resdue adn repeat doing the whole car. Then if you do not have any polish which would be the next step, use your wax once you have the wax on the Jeep, spray the tires, off before you remove the wax to avoid over spray.
 
Can you guys please give me some tips,Am I missing something?Anything I could add or not use it.And a step by step ( if you guys can )

Thanks a lot
 
Based on th limited products you have and your limited experience, you might want to do a limited clean-up. After you have had some hands on experience and have done a bunch of reading, you might be more ready to move on.

(1) Washing with the GC shampoo is a good move.

(2) Claying would be next, but The clay might not be a good first project.

(3) Waxing with the GC wax will probably go well, too.

Just that simple procedure will probably make a tremendous difference in the appearance of the vehicle.

Not being a fan of wheel cleaners, high gloss tire sprays, or Rain-X, I would probably take them back and use the money to buy a good paint cleaner/polish.
Just my opinions, though.

This becomes even more a matter of opinion. For use by hand, I think Klasse AIO or S100's SEC would be my choice.
SEC would probably get the nod since it is less than half the price. You can get it at a Harley Davidson dealer for about $9.
AIO is more like $23.
