Mind elaborating a bit as to what's the order of your application and/or how/what's your usage on all those products?
Since UMW Toyota are selling their car with polished and waxed finishing. So I just keep wax on it every time after I wash my car to keep my car always under the protection of wax.
I just ignore what other people say, like wax our car for every 1-2 months or even 3 months. I just wax my car every time after I washed my car. So just pick a free day such like Sunday or public holiday. Wake up early at the morning, then get prepare myself 2 bottles of snow foam cannons. One bottle for pre-wash snow foam shampoo. Another bottle for car wash shampoo.
I'm using Chemical Guys Honeydew snow foam for pre-wash and Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax for main wash. The dilution for Chemical Guys is 30ml+470ml clear water=500ml and Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax is 100ml+ 400ml clear water=500ml.
Starting from pre-wash, after I spray Chemical Guys Honeydew snow foam on the car body, I will switch to Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax then prepare a wheel brush, tire brush, detailer brush and a bucket of clear water. I spray some Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax on the wheels (rims and tires) then start clean up the 4 wheels with my brushes.
After I clean all the wheels, it should be around 10 minutes. Now I will switch to water jet nozzle to spray and rinse off all the shampoo.
Now is time for preparing the second round. Firstly, I wash and clean all the brushes then pour the dirty water out from the bucket. Then wash the bucket and grit guard to make sure no more sands inside the bucket. Then refill with clear water again into the bucket.
The second round is preparing a wash mitt and microfiber drying towel. I'm using Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt and Posh Care Water Gone microfiber drying towel. Put the wash mitt into bucket and put microfiber drying towel inside the car. Since I'm using the foam cannon method, so I just skip the two buckets method. Since wash with foam cannon is faster and easier than the buckets method. Just refer to above, since I have two snow foam cannons. One for pre-wash another one for main wash. This time I switch to my Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax shampoo and spray the shampoo part by part. Then wipe the car body part by part. After done wiping per section, I wash my wash mitt with clear water on the bucket then continue to wipe on another section. Just repeat the step until all the parts of my car body was done wiping.
Now just switch to water jet nozzle to rinse off all the shampoo.
Ok, the washing part was done. After I done dry off my car with drying towel. Now is time to pick which wax/sealant to use. Actually the car has full of wax on the body because I keep wax my car every time. I just want to layer up the wax/sealant to my car body.
First reason to layer up wax/sealant on my car body is to protect my car body and to prevent fine scratches such like swirl marks. Second reason is because I want to top up the wax layers to increase the glossy level. Third reason is I want to keep my car like 99% like a new car. Forth reason is to prevent my car to stick contaminants and always keep my car body looks clean.
My orders as the followings
1. Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax
2. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax > Meguiar's Ceramic Detailer
3. Soft99 Authentic Premium Wax
4. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax > Meguiar's Ceramic Detailer
I just repeat the orders above for every time after I wash my car. Carnauba wax helps to increase the car glossy and ceramic wax (sio2) are using for wax sealant purposes such as to protect and prevent the carnauba wax being washed off from my car body.
