BOUGHT aload of new cleanin gear....How we go about it?

I run out of car shampoo so decided to pop down shop to buy some more and went crazy buy some good stuff

give my focus a nice treat and give her a proper going over for once.

Ive BOUGHT lol:-
Meguiars NXT Car Wash
Meguiars Quick Clay Detailing System
Autoglym super resin polish
Turtle wax platium series precision car wax
Turtle wax platium series protective extra gloss (Already had these want to use it first)
Meguiars Water Magnet Drying Towel
3 tesco microfiber cloths and some normal cloths

My question is what is the best combination of putting this stuff on?

Where'd you bring them to?

Firstly, you BOUGHT the stuff, not BROUGHT the stuff

Secondly, this is what I propose:

Get two buckets, one with the right concentrate of NXT car wash in it, One with just cold water in it.

Wash the car starting with the highest point, working downwards, rinsing the sponge/washmit/etc in the water bucket after each use on the car (this stops you getting grit in your soapy water). Rinse the car (preferably with a hose on a very gentle sprinkle). Then dry the car using the water magnet.

Move on to the Claybar, claying the areas of the car that have "contaminents" that will not shift with water and soap alone. Be sure not to let the clay rub the car when its dry though as it will streak, so ensure you use the detailer spray enough

Then use the super resin polish (id apply it with your normal cloths assuming you dont have any applicators), working a panel at a time, letting the polish dry before buffing it off with a clean microfibre towel.

Do the above with the sealant (extra gloss).

Do the above with the wax.

Your done

(assuming you have no window polish/tyre detailer/trim detailer)

ok ok my bad on the BOUGHT!

I got a wool wash mitt as well. Do you have to rinse the car down after using the claybar?

So long as you towel the detailer off, then you don't "need" to, however it can't hurt to rinse and dry again
