If you have any marring that you want to get rid of, then you should use a polish as step 4, that is assuming that your re-wash of step 3 included drying the car. And, depending on the polish used, you might be able to go right to your LSP (i.e., wax or sealant).



If you don`t have any marring, then I think you could just go with the cleaner wax and leave it at that or top with MPPP or the Gold Class wax.

Do you mean top with the MPPP or Gold Class wax after the cleaner wax?



Is the MPPP a wax?





I really would like a in depth of what they do.

No, its a sealant, which means it will last longer than carnauba wax and gives sharper reflections typically.

First off do you have a PC? If not then I would recomend a glaze to hide swirls instead of a polish by hand. And I would recomend Mothers Seal and Glaze (only one I`ve used) because it hides quite a lot.



Process if all by hand should go:

Wash (dont dry)

Clay (with wash solution when car is still wet)

Rinse

MPPP

Glaze - I`m not 100% shure about this order because of the sealant (sealant wont "stick" to the glaze) and I`m not shure how much it will hide after the sealant.

GC wax





I`m sure other, more experienced people will chime in to further help.

Actually, I don`t know if I`m getting caught up in the "glaze" nomenclature, but the MPPP would typically be a LSP unless you wanted to top it with a carnauba wax.



The "cleaner wax" should provide some cleaning action as well as some wax protection. Some people use it as a 1 step product and leave it at that. Most folks here tend to put more effort into the process. I don`t know what you have, and I don`t know how long the cleaner wax will last, but if you want more protection on the finish, then I`d top with the MPPP sealant or the GC wax or both (MPPP followed by the GC wax). If you top the MPPP with the GC wax, you may want to wait a day between the two to give the sealant time to completely cure. And with the MPPP, be careful on the trim as it will stain.
