Help with car detailing process!?

July 7, 2010 By David Bynon 1 Comment

Okay here is what I'm going to do to my black car:

1. Wash with Meguiars Gold Class Wash
2. Meg Clay Bar with the spray
3. Wash again with Gold Class Wash (is this step needed?)
4. SwirlX my whole car
5. Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax (do I need to? is this the right time to do it?)
6. Meg #7 polish
7. Gold Class wax

What do you guys think? Now my only concern here is if I should even use the cleaner wax? Am I supposed to use the cleaner wax before polishing and waxing?

cleaner wax you dont needd

cleaner waxes are
(very mild)paint cleaners/polish/wax all in one

and since you already have all those (swirlx,#7,gold class)
its pointless

and it would remove the polishing oils swirlx leaves behind
and would prevent #7 polish from contact with the paint.

and step 3 is optional,doesnt hurt either way

1.wash
2.clay
3.swirlx
4.polish
5.wax

i mainly use cleaner wax
in ares where you wouldnt want to do every step
such as door jambs, trunk jambs, etc..
