Sorry for the delay, it's actually my day off and I'm doing what car guys do... I'm working on a car...

Okay here's the order to use the products, I noticed you don't have any clay, if you do, clay the car after washing, if you don't then move right on to the paint cleaner after washing.

In order,

1. Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
2. Deep Crystal System Polish
3. Deep Crystal Wet Look Polymer
4. Deep Crystal Carnauba Sealant

Use the Quick Detailer Mist and Wipe for removing light dust in-between normal washing and waxing.


You can use your orbital polisher to apply all of the above products, but in each step you should use a new/dedicated bonnet as you don't want to cross-contaminate your bonnets.

You can use your orbital polisher to remove both waxes, but you should only use a clean, dry bonnet made for removing wax, otherwise just remove the wax as well as all the products by hand.

For the Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and the Deep Crystal System Polish you want to apply these products to a section at a time, for example a fender, or half a hood, work the product in well, especially the paint cleaner, then remove any excess.

Paint Cleaners and Pure Polishes don't need to dry, simply apply, work-in and then remove.

for the two waxes, apply them in the order listed, work them in well when applying them, and the allow them to dry until they swipe clear. Remember, you only need to apply thin coating, a thick coat just wastes product and makes removal difficult.

Here are three threads to read that will help you to understand the project you are about to undertake.
