I would pick a different "polish" i use a machine so i would have to research a good hand polish

what the fu@k is glaze, LoL.

Think of it as your so called "filler" various companies make them...Poorboys, CG, and Menzerna to name a few.

what is a sealer

Jetseal 109 for one....Menzerna makes one too as well as several others. it is a synthetic protection for your paint

and gimme a wax thats easy to apply and take off.

Souveran Pas Wax from Pinnacle

Thanks again.

alrighties, its looking like im going to have a buy a shi@t load of that online...and those turds dont ship cheap lol, im in canada.

ill start doing some more independant research on those products and see what i can grab at the canadian tire / walmart that are the equivalent to what you mentioned above.

Thanks again.

For someone doing everything by hand, I'd skip the polish step: wash, clay, seal. Get a buffer at some point, or get the car polished by a pro, but don't try to polish your car by hand.

wash
clay - you can skip this if your paint surface is really smooth!
polish - by hand, i would skip this
seal
wax

[Haywire]

so again, wash, possibly a clay, good seal, good wax... Mind tossing in your names, specific products like J-sud did for reference.

[OtherAggie]

I'm new too, but here's the stuff I'm happy with so far...

WASH: Chemical Guys Citrus Wash, P21S Total Auto Wash
CLAY: you're in Canada? holy crap!! GET RICCARDO!! (and send some to me!!)
SEAL: Chemical Guys JetSeal is easy to use and looks truly awesome
WAX: CG 5050, heard good things about Natty's so I'm trying that next

There's a code on Autopia for free shipping from Autogeek too... you'll have to search and see if that one works to CA. Or try eShine.ca for stuff, maybe shipping is cheaper. GL!

[BK]

Everyone has his own favorites, but I'd recommend:

Wash - Zaino Z-7 or Poorboys Super Slick & Suds
Clay - Clay Magic Blue
Sealant - Zaino Z-2 Pro
Wax - Poorboys Natty's Blue

I recently redetailed my car after about a year and a half. Prior to last Tuesday, my car had about 12 coats of Zaino, but of course overtime, the shine goes away. This is what I did/do:

1) Wash the car with Dawn dishwashing soap
2) Rewash with Zaino Z7
3) Clay with Zaino Z18
4) Wash again with Z7
5) Apply 1st coat of Zaino Z2 with ZFX
6) Buff
7) Apply Zaino Z8
8) Apply 2nd coat of Zaino Z2 with ZFX
9) Buff
10) After applying as many coats of Z2 as I want, I finish with Zaino Z6 spray.

Any reason why you are applying Z8 in the middle of the process and Z6 at the end? Z8 is spray sealant just like the jeff werkstat trigger and Z6 is considered Zainos QD. If anything you should apply z2, buff off, wipe down the car with Z6 to make sure everything is wiped off, then go on applying z2 and then just finishing with Z8.

Forgot so say what i would use

Wash - CG CWC or Dawn or NXT wash for your first time. Just anything that is harsh to strip whatever is on your paint off to prepare it for new sealant and wax. For maitenence washes i like Gold Class for OTC or i hear CG Maxi Suds is great as well.
Clay - Clay Magic Blue or Zaino Z18. Both are supposedly pretty good as far as not marring the paint. I've heard that Meguiars Blue is known to mar the paint more easily then Clay Magic Blue or Z18
Sealant - For duarbility, i'd go with Zaino Z5. For superior shine, no doubt i would use jetseal
Wax - CG 5050

How long before you can apply wax after you use the seleant?
