The mother`s Ultimate Wax System is the complete package.



0. Wash and clay car.



1. Apply Pre-wax cleaner (this will both lightly polish paint and chemically clean it).



Mothers California Gold Pre-Wax Cleaner prepares the vehicle`s paint for wax, glaze, or sealer by cleaning out impurities and smoothing the top layer (http://www.autogeek.net/motcalgolpre.html)



2. Apply Sealant and Glaze (Makes the paint look wet, fills in/visually reduces any defects)



Mothers California Gold Sealer & Glaze comes after Mothers Pre-Wax Cleaner but before Mothers California Gold Carnauba Wax. Cleans and smooths auto (http://www.autogeek.net/motcalgolsea.html)



3. Apply the Mother`s NF carnauba over the fully prepped surface.



4. Reapply S&G/NF Carnauba whenever you want more gloss. As these products are non-abrasive you can use them as much as you like.



------

If you feel the paint needs more polishing that the Pre-wax cleaner provides, then something like Meg`s SwirlX/UC or Turtle Wax premium rubbing/polishing compounds (not the stuff in the tubs) will be helpful.

thanks for replying!

my car is still pretty new but have minor swirls and scartches on it. Also I have the Auto Armor paint protection ( kind of like paint sealant) done to my car when i got it new from the dealer. So is the clay bar and polish gonna remove the Auto Armor thing?

And do i need another sealant to replace the Auto Armor thing?

Thanks again

The auto armor stuff is a scam basically. And if you decide to go the sealant route, you can`t use the Sealer Glaze with most of them on the market due to the oils in the product.



Does your car still bead water like fresh wax or sealant is on it, if no beading is occuring, of minimal beading, the auto armor is toast.

Try 303 Aerospace instead of Armor All. It`s a superior product.
