Calling Juztang, the one and only person I'd trust with my new paint job.
Well its been long overdue, but I finally got my car painted in october, and besides quick detailer it hasn't seen anything yet because its been sitting in the garage for winter. I just need a full advice on how to deal with this, the car is grabber blue and white two tone. I need advice on what products to get off you, how often to use them, what order to use them, etc etc the full run down hehe. Wax?Glaze?Polish? hehe thanks in advance.

To get the best possible finish I would go with the polish, glaze, and then a carnauba wax.
For a good polish you can't go wrong with either Optimum Hyper Polish or Meguiars M205. Then I would use my OD Wet Glaze next followed by my Wet Obsession wax. This combo will look excellent on your color.
You really only need to polish every 4-6 months. The glaze and wax is just personal preference, I like to layer both for extra depth and wetness. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Ok sounds good, should be placing an order soon. How many coats of each should i do and do I have to wait awhile between everything before moving to the next step. I plan on doing a full overhaul when winters over. What about washing technique and the wash?

You only want to use a polish every 4-6 months as needed. As for the glaze and wax, you can apply as many layers as you like, it is really personal preference. Also, there is no waiting between applying products, you can put them on right after one another.
For washing the car you could use Optimum No Rinse and do one panel at a time and dry or you could use conventional washing method and use Optimum Car Wash, both products are awesome. I would use a good microfiber wash mitt like the one I carry. Also,you want to use high quality microfiber towels to dry with. My Amazing Dryer is really popular with my customers, the Ultra Premiums and Super Fly towels are also very popular to dry with as well as taking off wax and polishes with.

Yes, you got the order down correctly. Yes, your paint will be cured, so the products will be fine on there.

Lightening fast shipment, thats amazing. Well I'm gonna attempt the process today. So, polish, glaze, wax. Now I see the polish came in a squirt bottle can I use all these products by hand? I really do NOT wanna try using a buffer cause I never did before.
