    I'm basing my answer on the assumption you didn't need to polish your car. Since you already have two layers of wax on your car, it might be best to wash your car twice w/Dawn or some other dish soap. This will most efficiently strip the wax you just applied and leave you with a clean surface for claying. Then do the following:

    Clay
    Wash w/ Gold Class
    2 coats Wax

    That's what I would recommend if you want to do this today. But if you want to be more efficient, you should order some Klasse AIO or similar product to clean your paint before you apply wax. But if you really want to put in some work today because of nice weather, there's nothing wrong with that .

    Let me try to give you the steps to a full detail (sorry if I miss something, it's been a long day at work):

    Wash
    Clay
    Wash
    Paint Cleaning (optional depending on amount of oxidation in paint)
    Polish (Pad/polish combo dependent on severity of swirls/oxidation/hardness of paint)
    Clean with AIO (e.g. Klasse)
    Seal (w/synthetic sealant or carnuba wax, or synthetic sealant topped w/ carnuba wax)

    I'm not sure how much detailing you have done, but let me just give you one last warning: once you start, you will be spending a lot of $$$$ in search of the perfect shine!

    Re: Clay after Wax ?

    holy ####....no need to use dish soap...wash your car, clay it, polish it, protect it...

    wash
    clay
    polish
    protect

    the nxt is my choice over carnuba...carnuba just doesnt last very long...no need for multible layers of nxt because it has a cleaner in it that will remove the previous layer...i do however use the nxt spray inbetween washes....

    go get a bottle of good polish, i wouldnt use glazes either....

    Re: Clay after Wax ?

    let me clear it up for you a little more...no dish soap, save that for the dishes....clay and polish will remove any wax or sealant you have on the paint...

    you can clay and wash in one step as well, so save yourself the step inbetween...wash a section of the car, then rinse it off, soap it up again, clay it, rinse it....dry the car, polish, then wax, or sealant...nxt is a sealant...

    Re: Clay after Wax ?

    This can b a option for wat u have.
    wash
    clay
    wash
    u can use a glaze next but u need to top it with a sealant or something that doesnt have any cleaners or abrasives in it or u will just strip the glaze right off.
