Cleaning.........Again
Guys, just got some meguiars through the post. I bought the shampoo and a polish / wax product. Then I have also got the meguiars carnauba wax. Will I put the Carnauba on after the wax/polish or before. I sit worth getting the clay kit ???

Just didn't know if it would be worth a go over with the clay kit or not.

best routine i have found with previous cars is this;
i) wash the car as throughly as possible.
ii) use the clay bar to get rid all of the little impurities and ****... (makes a massive difference).
iii) then use the carnuba wax.....
works well for me.

I would guess you apply the Carnauba last though

You don't have to use a clay bar all over the car (unless you really want to) - it is really going to be the high impact areas - bonnet, wings, front grille etc. It's not a 5 min job, but it won't take you all day either and it does make a big difference to the finish of the car.
