I purchased a detailing kit from autogeek which contains the following:
Pinnacle Souveran Wax
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer
Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz

I'm planning to detail this weekend and wanted to confirm if I'm following the steps in correct order:
1. Wash car
2. Clay it (I bought the Mother's clay kit)
3. Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer - I'm plannig to use a terry towel to apply it since I heard it is more effective in removing the swirls?? and will use microfiber to wipe it off.
4. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant - will use microfiber to apply and remove
5. Pinnacle Souveran Wax - again, will use microfiber to apply and remove.

I wasn't sure if Sealant goes before or after wax, so please let me know.

Thanks.

I highly doubt you're going to be removing any swirls with the paintwork cleanser, but your routine is correct.

*I* would apply the sealant and wax with a foam applicator.

orly?
I'll have to check out the local stores then and get a buffer. I know PC is good, but is there any comparable alternative which is available locally?

I've heard someone here mentioning ryobi at home depot....there were some mixed reviews for that.

If lowe's has the PC still, BUY it!! They have been on clearance for a while now... and people were getting them as low as 30 bucks!

Thanks.
