1. No precleaners are needed if you polish first right? (only use Pre cleaner if you are just looking to reapply sealent and wax?)

2. What to do if you want to add more wax? (seal and wax? or remove old wax first?)

1. Wash, clay, polish, wax. Dont need a pre cleaner or glaze. Even if you dont polish, you can still wax, just make sure to wash it first, so the paint is clean.

2. If you want to add another coat, then just wash the car first.

2. just wax and nothing else?, and if I feel I need to reglaze do i use the pre-cleaner?

1. If you want to use a glaze, then it would be... wash, clay, polish, glaze, wax. But remember, you really only need to clay twice per year, so if you've already clayed the car, then dont do it again, unless you're using Pinnacle ultra poly clay. But it probably wont need it.

2. If you feel you need to reglaze, then just wash the car, glaze, then wax.

You dont ALWAYS need to clay, polish, and use a glaze. All of that depends on the paints condition. I dont know if you saw the detail I posted, but all it needed was wash, clay, and XMT 360 w/ edge blue pad. I could of used a wax ontop of the 360, but as you can see from the pictures, the 360 gave it a great shine.

Can polymers and waxes mix? If I were to use the CGs instant wax spray (as a booster between washes/waxes) will that be alright when I use Souvoran on top?

Im sure itll be fine. But lets say tomorrow your planning on putting a coat of Souveran on. Just wash the car then put on the Souveran, dont put on the instant wax spray THEN the Souveran.
