1st time using clay - Advise

[frohbego]

Just stocked up up on Meguiars detailing products.

Clay (kit also comes with Cleaner wax)
Deep Crystal System Polish
Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner

My question is after i use the clay should i use the Cleaner wax or the Paint Cleaner??? And what order if it makes a difference.

Also i prefer to do this all by hand. is that as good as using a buffer?

Any other advise would greatly be appreciated.

After claying you'll want to use the paint cleaner and then the wax unless you only want to use one product then use the cleaner/wax as a paint cleaner does not offer any protection, just cleaning action.

The human hand cannot produce as good as results as a tool like the PC/G100 because your hand will get tired while the machine will not. Besides that, your hand means 4 pressure points the size of a penny pushing down on a pad while a machine will offer uniform. pressure over the entire face of the buffing pad.
