I am kinda of new to all this detailing. i have most of the basics down but want to what order do i apply my waxes and cleaners.

Wash
Claybar
Re-wash
4Star Paint Cleaner
SSR-1
4Star UPP *3 or 4 coats
(maybe a coat of Natty's Most likely not)

Is this the correct order?
Should I sub something elese?

The SSR1 will look almost like a glaze, except no oils to interfere with the bonding of UPP. I am assuming the 4* cleaner you are refering to is the Ultimate Paint Cleaner ... if so you can use it in the order listed or right before applying UPP. I personally like the look of UPP directly on top of SSR1 on light colored cars. I think once you apply 2 or 3 coats of UPP, you will like it so well that you won't want to top it ... that will also enable you to apply more coats of UPP in the future.
Just my opinion!
 
Good products
If you have a swirl free car..(hummm) wash, clay, 4 star cleaner product (not Wax), 4 star UPP
leave it on for about an hour, apply thin coat, then wait 24 hours, qd car or wash again, put another UPP top on...
should look great..

I think I am more concered about what goes first the SSR_! or the paint cleaner? I just used the whole system without the SSR-1 about 2 weeks back. I want to re do it this weekend with SSR-1. Will I need to use the cleaner again, how often should I use paint cleaner every wax? Or use it about every 6 months or so
 
You don't have to repeat the paint cleaner as SSR1 should be fine with UPP on top. You could definately repeat the process with the paint cleaner every 6 months or as necessary depending on what maintenance you do in between then and now.
