1. Maguiars Gold Class Wash and chamois
2. Mothers Clay Bar
3. Hose down to remove any final contaminants and Chamois
4. Maguiars Gold Class Polish and Wax.

I'll hit the wheels with some lovin as well. and give the engine bay a clean-up.

Default If you're going to claybar most people use dish soap/washing up liquid because it

will do a better job at removing the wax and grease and other contaminants. Also it is cheaper than the car wash soap. Save your car wash soap for when you have a nice coat of wax on the car.

Default Ditch the Meguiars polish and wax and use P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser, and One Grand

Blitz Wax. I'd also put a coat of 3M IHG between the clay bar and the polish.

Default

Wash with Dawn dish soap. Dump the chamois for a cotton towel, dump the Meguiars for P21S line.

Default agree, I dumped Meguiars for the P21S routine years ago

P21S paintwork cleanser plus either P21S wax or blitz one grand wax. much easier to use, far, far less residue, nicer results. make sure you use microfiber towels to remove, makes life much easier.
