I wash dry
Clay if needed
Polish
swril remover
glaze
wax
This is the order that I have followed for some time and always get teh results that I'm looking for. The one ting to remeber is use good products. Megs, 3M, etc. Dwayne has some great stuff to offer
I have been using P&S Car Care Products for polish and wax. They have been in the biz for 30 years.
Swril remover I use 3M or Ardex, and glaze I use Imperal hand glaze by 3M.
I have some poorboys stuff on the way right now that I'm going to be trying. I also use Klasse for one step applpications.
3M is a glaze that I use before the wax to get that extra pop in the finish. It really can be seen in the dark colors, such as the black BMW that I drive, no wait the one the wife drives and I get to clean.....LOL
