Ok, for a black car I want to do these steps right?

P21S GEPC then Poorboy's EX Sealant, then top it all off with P21S Carnuba Wax. I have searched and searched on here and think this is the best way but I want to make sure. Of course before I do this I will clay and do I have to use a wax remover too?
 
2001civicex - The GEPC should clean the surface without the need for a wax remover. I think your plan will work well.
 
Well, the GEPC IS a polish, but it's SO mild it won't do much, if anything, for swirls, and I didn't notice any real filling ability either. Better use something sorta aggressive to really REMOVE them first. Maybe DACP or PI-III or any Griot's Machine Polishes you have around.
 
Ok wait a second. So I would strip the wax, clay bar, use Griot's polish, then p21s, then poorboy's, then p21s carnuba? And the black car will shine like crazy? I am doing another black Civic this week so I am just making sure.
 
NOT to butt heads with Jademonkey, but I don't find that clay strips wax or sealant to an appreciable degree :nixweiss A lot of it might have to do with which clay, what lube, how used, etc., etc. Lots of variables; experiences seem to vary. I just wouldn't RELY on clay to remove wax. BTW, Griot's claims that their clay, used with Spee Shine will NOT remove their BOs wax.



2001civicex- Jademonkey's sequencing is absolutely correct. You'll really like the results.



BTW, there are a lot of recent posts about REMOVING whatever's currently on the finish prior to using something new (and Griot's makes a big deal out of it so they can sell their Paint Prep). If you're using a SMR/paint cleaner/etc. this shouldn't REALLY be a big concern. It's just one more (very thin) thing being "cleaned" off the paint.
