The trouble with detailing is that once the wash and decontamination is out the way it all comes down to personal preference, alot more than it does with the earlier process'. Some say its either wax or a sealant with some saying sealants lasting longer but waxes giving better results, some use both. Some just use polish, some use glaze, some people use both. Its all personal preference.

What I do is;
Wash, 2 bucket Method, I used to use AG Bodywoak Shampoo Conditioner but last time I needed I some I bought Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo which I prefer to AG's
Clay Bar with Meguiars Cly Kit
Polish with AG SRP or Meguiars 3 stage system
Wax, if I don't use meguiars 3 stage system I either use stage 3 of the set after the SRP or AG Aqua Wax

I prefer the Meguires wax tbh as it gives a better finish but if I'm in a rush I use the aqua wax as its quicker (and smells good). Most people wouldn't probably rate much of what I use or how I do it but I don't really get the time or space to do it properly. Anything I've linked to above is just so you know the products I'm on about.

Heres a couple more guides and FAQ's etc that might help or confuse you more  :signLOL:

I've always been impressed with Megs Gold glass wash (when it's really dirty) or AG wash (when its only a little dirty) for keeping the shine throughout the year.

I clay with Megs, polish with AG SRP (really great stuff) and wax with Colinite 476S - that keeps the polish in and the water beading for 6 months minimum (and doesn't cost silly money)  :notworthy:

If you buy a touch up pen set they normally have a clear coat touch up too.

+1 for megs gold class.

I can recommend Dodo Blue velvet too (not the plus I didnt have the extra ££!)

Once clayed and waxed you will notice a big difference in how easy it is to clean the car in future.

Smooth as glass!

I'd recommend a quick detailer each time you wash. It will top up the protection the wax gives and provide a lovely glossy depth. I use Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical on my black car and it is awesome - probably my favourite detailing product.

Lovely Wax.
