Default Have I got this right for the big detail? Need a few answers...

1. Meguiars Gold Class wash and chamois dry
2. Mothers Clay Bar
3. Meguiars Gold Class wash and Chamois dry
4. Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax

Anything else I should throw in there?
Is it really necessary to re-wash after clay bar?
Should I go a glaze B4 the wax?

Ta for any assistance.

Default some ideas

1) You don't have to re-wash after clay bar IF you use a highly concentrated mixture of the meguiars car wash soap/water as your lubricant. Infact, DO use this instead of quick detailer (waste of quick detailer). Mix 2x as much car wash soap per water as you would to wash, pour in spray bottle, and go to town. Spray each panel frequently and the bar. It's CHEAP to use car wash soap/water, so keep the surfance slippery wet ALWAYS. Onces your are down, you can just hose down the car. Re-washing isn't necessary, although some still prefer to do it.

2) Glaze/polish. Depends on how old the car is and if you need it. It isn't going to do any harm. So something like Meguiars #7 (considering you have all Meguiars other stuff would work. Apply it after clay bar and before wax.

THere are other products aside form Meguiars to consider, as well as other Meguiars wax as opposed to the liquid. But I figure you already have this stuff, and it's good stuff, so no need in just throwing away money.

Default The only Meguiars item I use is the detail spray when I don't have my One Grand Show Off - ->

And as I have mentioned, I am not a big fan of clay bars. But if you have a good touch and like the result, go for it.

Don't forget a good supply of cleaning cloths, a boars hair detailing brush, P21S Citrus cleanser for the rocker panels, Flitz or P21S Finish restorer for the exhaust tips...yadda, yadda...

I have a small cart that I wheel out to the cars to detail them.

Default I used to use Final Inspection/Quick detailer. How do you think it compares to Show Off...

Since I trust your judgements
