ok, heres what ive gathered for a good detail plan

1. wash

2. clay bar

3. wash again to remove clay residue

4. paint polish

5. wax


my question is, where does cleaner wax go in this list or isnt it necessary?

 

the claybar takes place of the cleaner wax. You can use a car wash/water solution to claybar with, it's easier and cuts down on the leftover residue. Just do it in sections and rinse as you go.

 

Aye. With Clay & Polish you do not need cleaner wax. Cleaner wax is really mild.
