Use Deep Crystal system paint cleaner before or after?

Do I use Deep Crystal system paint cleaner after the washing/drying and before polishing?

 

[BigAl3]

wash

clay

deep crystal paint cleaner

pure polish *optional*

wax



*note* this is a very mild paint cleaner and may not remove light-medium to heavy scratches, but do a test spot and check your results...

you mean after washing? if you'd like you can dry the car off, but make sure to have plenty of qd/lube as you clay the car, so it doesn't stick/marr the finish. make sure to knead the clay to expose a clean side as it becomes contaminated during the process...

um, yeah, sorry

I meant before claying. i should dry the car off first before claying so that there won't be any dry water spot right?

yes, you can dry the car off before claying (some on here don't do it, it's personal preference as you'll be spraying qd/wiping it dry anyway), but make sure to wipe off any excess qd/lube with a high quality microfiber towel as you go along, and feel with your hand on each section you've done, as the surface should feel like brand new glass afterwards...
