This is what I do:
1. Wash car with Gliptone
2. Clay Car with Mothers
3. Wash again
4. Wax w/ Gliptone Cleaner wax
5. Wax again with Gliptone Show Gloss
6. Polish with Zymol
7. Sometimes I get more crazy and Polish with Liquid Crystal as well.
8. Wipe sweat off my brow step back and admire for 15 to 20 minutes, then go cruising.
Some people say that I am suppose to polish before I wax, but I am happy with the results with my steps. I feel Polish should be a final coat seeing it is a gloss enhancer and seeing wax is more abraisive than polish why not make polishing your final coat. So that is what i feel and that is what i do.

1. wash with maguires gold class car wash 2. clay bar with mothers 3. use maguires 3 stage clean/polish/wax Works awsome you can actually hear how much cleaner your car is when you run your finger over it!
#13
i use turtle wax too!! the new platinum one. i used to use mothers and meguires, but turtle platinum gives it a much better shine and with the detailer. i cant even see the swirl marks =D
#14
I use Mothers to wash, then Meguiars gold to wax. Works well, though I was thinking of checking out Zaino...
BTW - I picked up Letherique last year for my seats, and man, it did a great job.

I use the regular TurtleWax, it says it 'Cleans and Shines' on the bottle... so I guess I better not Wax every week.

I bought some of the blue Zymol that you can buy at WalMart, cost about $12. Is that what most of ya'll use? I am not at all impressed with it, but maybe I did something wrong... Is everyone who has used the "regular" zymol satisfied with it?
