Car Detail help

This might be repost (if so can someone add the link)
Sorry I am really noobie with car detail.... Can someone give me clear understanding how to detail your car...

1. Clean/Dry
2. Clay
3. Polish (light cutting)
4. Sealant
5. Wax (hand wax?)

is that the right order? also, do you have to glaze your car?

For some basic understanding on how to properly detail your car, check out our Auto Detailing Guide. I'm also putting together a comprehensive step-by-step writeup with photo's and video of a Ferrari detail I just did.

Your process is correct. You don't HAVE to glaze your car, it's optional. It will help add additional depth and gloss and sometimes can fill in some imperfections.

If you have any specific questions on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
