I was referring to the question the great Junkman gets all the time. In the vid he mentions it and then goes on to explain what you are talking about. I was showing that I was paying attention.

:o

He wasn't serious, he was making a funny. ;)

using different type of brands to wash/wax car
 

I've used the mothers clay bar kit and its awesome. Definitely recommended. Get plenty of detail spray.

Definitely wax after claying.

Brand wise, I prefer Adams Polishes and Griot's. http://www.griotsgarage.com/category/car+care.do

Best tip I can give is to get good microfiber towels. The blue Griots towels are amazing. Only wash the towels with other microfiber.

Adams polishes has very good instructional videos. They are good quality aren't too long.

using different type of brands to wash/wax car
 

There are 3 tips I've learned from the adams videos:
1) It's ok to let the soap dry on the car (if not in direct sunlight). Once u rinse it will come off. (I used to rush around rinsing and washing the car not letting anything dry).
2) If claying -- after you wash, instead of drying the car right away, mist the entire car with detail spray and then go straight to claying. The detail spray only leaves slight residue which comes off as you clay the car.
3) You can clay the entire car at once. As you clay, skip buffing the detail spray residue off. After you're done claying, wax over the detail spray residue. This way you're only buffing once. (Assuming no sunlight)

So you save lots of time by not drying and buffing multiple times... I'm not sure if you can do this with ALL brands. I have done this on my black Z with Adams and Griots and the results were awesome.

I'm sorry but that would look like crap under plenty of light. Adam likes to take shortcuts like buffing with a compound and then buffing right behind that with a polish, WITHOUT removing the compound first. That is a ridiculous way to do paint correction and the only reason he sells that method is to sell products to people who may not want to spend the time that it takes to do paint correction correctly. That's just one of the reasons I quit helping him out. I'm not going to sell a lie to anyone who is going to quickly realize that there is some work involved in paint correction when you are using a safe polisher like the PC.

I've done it both ways. If you're in a pinch, it doesn't seem to hurt.
