Default car cleaning help

hey all

Just hoping some1 could give me advice on cleaning me car, Ive got zymol shampoo and polish, a maguires klay kit and some proper wax. Obviously I shampoo car well first, then clay whole car when Iv dried it then polish, Is there no point in the wax after and is there another product to put on before the polish and after the klaying to seal it in or summit,

Any help or tips would be appriciated

Cheers

Clay will remove all the imperfections on the paint, including the protection, so it will need to be sealed with a wax after. Make sure you use plenty of the lube with the clay or it will mar the paintwork.

Dont be scared of the clay, just remember to keep it lubed! Itll be worth it!
