My typical detailing process is:
1. Wash with Dawn (gets rid of old wax)
2. Clay bar
3. Wash to get rid of clay bar residue
4. Anti-swirl wax (slight abrasive to get rid of swirls in dark paint)
5. Wax (1st coat)
6. Wax (2nd coat)
7. Wax sealer (really locks a deep shine in)
....and that's just for the metal parts of the VX....
After all that Vicki ends up looking like an oil slick.

OMG!
I finally got around to using the Griot's Garage products that Bart used.
Oh dear Gawd this stuff is simply fantastic!
After the 3 step process, my paint actually looks different than I've EVER seen any paint before.
IF NOTHING ELSE, DO A CLAY BAR ON YOUR PAINT, IT'S THE MOST AMAZING PRODUCT WITH THE BIGGEST IMPACT, IMHO.
I put the detailed info and pics in another thread about Griot's Garage products to keep it all together.

Yeah, it really looks amazing when you are done. I need to give my VX another treatment with the deeper polish to see if I can remove the remains of those tree scratches.
