I tried to read about this on this forum but was able to find it without reading through a ton of pages..

I am pretty good with detailing cars but want to make extra sure I do this right. My car is a 2001 silver M5 and the paint is about flawless.
I bought a clay bar kit and am about to claybar the car. I don't quite understand the process with all the different waxes for a good condition paint. This is what I am thinking, please tell me what I need to do different or different types of wax if I am wrong..

1. Wash and dry
2. Clay bar
3. Wash
4. Sealer Wax or Cleaner wax??
5. Carnauba wax...
6. quick detail spray wax..

Thanks in advance. I want to get a real nice shine on her for a big car show.

I too have Silver paint and it is almost flawless. This is how I have done it for years.

1. Wash with P21S Total Wash. Rinse thoroughly.

2. With a bucket of warm water and super suddsy P21S Shampoo I soap up a panel and then use the clay. I do the whole car this way. Then rinse thoroughly.

3. Wash one more time, again with a fresh bucket of T21S Total Wash. Then dry it.

4. Tape all the black off with blue painters tape.

5. Polish with P21S Paintwork Cleaner

6. Lastley, I was with P21S Concours Wax. This is not my daily driver so I use the P21S. For my X5 which is a daily driver I use One Grand Blitz Wax which lasts a long time.

I can to this entire process in about 5-6 hours (I take my time and pay attention to details)

Opps.... #3 is P21S (not T21S).
