    steps you take?

    whats your usual layout for a complete exterior detail, in what order i.e.

    clay
    polish/glaze
    wax

    what products do you use during each step and if you like to add any other steps or products feel free

    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
