Re: in what order to use products
Karlos,
Take a look at this thread on the 5 step paint care cycle
I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
Remove swirls my friends.

Re: in what order to use products
Generally speaking, it's as follows;
1. Wash car
2. Clay/clean paint
3. Cut with Ultimate Compound or equivalent
4. Polish with Ultimate Polish or equivalent
5. Wax with Ultimate Wax, Gold Class etc.
6. My favourite, MAINTAIN. Love driving around in a car that's super cleanKeeping your car immaculate is a reflection of yourself.

One thing I do is after washing is ALWAY follow up with a mist/wipe down of Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax. Known as a Booster Wax which is good between that occasional hand wax.
A well maintained car should only need hand wax every 1-2 months, maybe less. Based on my exp.

You would want to use your products in this following order.
1) A through wash of your car
2) Clay bar the entire car, using Ultimate Quick Detailer as a lubricant (or something equivelent)
3) Deep Crystal Polish
4) NXT Tech Wax 2.0
Good luck and be sure to post some pictures when you're done!

Re: in what order to use products
Here's what the 5 Step Paint Care System Says:
"Using a true “pure” polish is an “optional step” - you don’t have to do it. Pure polishes are safe for use on fresh paint - if your vehicle requires a trip to the body shop following an accident or other damage, you should not apply a wax for 60 to 90 days following the fresh paint job as the paint needs to "breathe" and fully cure. You can, however, apply a pure polish during that time period to enhance the gloss."
I always usually do, it only makes my car have a more mirror like reflection, and adds gloss, but if you didn't it sounds like it's quite alright. Next time you do a clay, try to polish and see if you like the results better or if you see any much of a difference at all.

Re: in what order to use products
Meguiars best protecting sealant/wax would be the Ultimate Wax now.
But the order and prep steps are still the same.
Wash
Clay
Paint Cleaner/Polish
Wax
Wax
If you are looking for the durability, I would go with two coats of the same product, but some people like to mix and match a bit. Usually synthetic followed by carnauba.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue
