Re: Someone Learn Me How To Do This :)

my question is what the heck is a

Clay Bar, see here: http://www.zainobros.com/files/z18.htm

Glaze, prime example: http://www.properautocare.com/3mimhanglaz.html

Glazes are bacially oils, designed to fill in scratches and be waxed on top of, they are generally used with carnaub waxes but not used with synthetic polishes.

Polish: Polish is an all over the place term, it can either be an abrasive polish like: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/e...er/output_html

OR a durable polish that is not a wax like: http://www.zainobros.com/files/info.htm#anchor20946

Fine Cut Cleaner, again this is an abrasive polish, prime example would be: http://www.autogeek.net/megsno2fincu.html

Wash first, then clay. You'll probably need to wash again after that to get the clay residue off. Then glaze and polish. Wax should always be the last step if you are using a carnuba based product.
