After doing some research I've decided to go with the Meguiar's products. They seem pretty decent. So here is the list of things I will be doing in order using the products listed. Please let me know if I should do anything else. I'm a rookie when it comes to detailing so don't be harsh on me

1. Washing

2. Cleaning/Prepping: Claying - Meguiar's G1016 Smooth Surface Clay Kit

3. Cleaning/Prepping: Buffing - Ultimate Compound for Buffing:

Q: Will this is enough to clay 2 cars?

4. Protection: Wax/Sealant: Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 (18-Ounce Liquid)

5. Maintaining: Quick Detail/Wax

Thanks guys
you will get a couple of cars from the clay bar kit, just dont use a wash soap as the lube. It will break down the clay MUCH faster than a QD or a dedicated clay lube.


you will want a second polish after the UC. The gloss will not be at its optimal level after a compound

the wax is fine, expect to get about 6 weeks or so out of it, so be prepared to wax monthly to ensure you are always protected!
