Quick OCD/Detailing Question

[bigchez]

I've got the car in the garage spotlessly washed. Can I clay and polish/seal/wax a panel a night, or do you need to clay then wash then polish?

no reason why you can't, but why not just do it bit at a time? I had the teg in the garage for ages, I clayed one day, T cutted the next, polished the next, waxed the next and sealered on the last day. It didn't catch fire or anything...

That's what I wanted to do, except do a panel at a time - say the bonnet tonight, and clay, polish, wax.

Guess I didn't word it very well - what I meant was does a panel need washing after claying, before its polished? Only I don't want to have to wash the car like 10x just to get it clayed!

You need to wash the car after its clayed, thats why you should just do the whole car at once. Panel at a time will be a headache. Just do it stage at a time instead of panel at a time.

Cheers, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
