Wow Juztang, you wash, clay, light polish, wet glaze, wet wax and Opti Seal? That's 6 steps. I don't want to spend that much time doing my car. What's the best 3 step way to get the best shine and protection? How about wash, clay and Opti Seal?

Well I claybar my Saleen about every 6 months. It is garaged and only out on weekends and for car shows. I do a 3 step process around every 6 months too. Most of the time I just do the Light Polish, Wet Glaze, and then the Wet Wax. Every once in a while for some extra pop I put the Opti Seal on since it is so quick an easy to do. I really like to put the Wet Glaze on before car shows too.

You can do wash, clay and OS, but I would still throw a polish in the mix toget the best possible looks. The polish is one of the more important steps.

Personally I really like the deep and wet look of a carnauba and I like the extra gloss and durability from the sealant. You don't really need both, it is really just a personal preference.

Light Polish, Wet Glaze and Wet Wax would really bring that red out. Red is a great color that can look dripping wet. Do that 3 steps and you'll be happy with it. Let us know if you decide to get it and post some pics!
