Are you looking for a place to order all that? There are several places you could go. Your list has a little overkill in the paint cleaning department. You don't really need the AIO in there if you are going to use all those other swirl removing products. In fact, you won't really need the GEPC either. The clay and the 3M products should take care of everything for you.



If you still want to use AIO then I would use that after all those other things. Follow up AIO with SG for best results on the SG. Something that I do is follow up AIO with Platinum UPP. You can get that at premiumautocare.com probably along with the rest of the stuff. Using UPP sort of eliminates the real need to use a carnauba topper for that deep wet look that we all know and love. Its up to you though. I have UPP and SG layered on top of each other under half a dozen layers of carnauba right now. You could always try that. SG will last longer than Platinum, but who is going ot wait for a product to wear off anyway? You'll probably be out there adding additional coats every 4 to 6 weeks anyway just because you can't stay away.



For help on clay I would suggest the eBook. Or just a search. Or just spray some lube on the surface of the car and glide the clay back and forth. Its a pretty simple process. A real no-brainer. You'll figure it out the second you start to use it.
