Yep totally agree. Polish for shine, wax for protection. The more wax the more protection and the easier it is to wash, plus you get the lovely beading of the water.

Usual car washing for me anay way is:
Snow foam (depending on condition of car)
wash two bucket method
rinse
dry with drying towel or if claying i don't bother
if claying wash again
dry again with the drying towel
polish
wax
If you don't use your car leave it a couple of days as long as still clean and dust free and wax again to build up the layers.

Truth. Although a quick blast over with the detailing spray that comes with the clay should remove dust etc ready for another wax.

Thanks for that guys just ordered some of this , http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/r...-cleanser.aspx
Mer actually says leave the car wet or if its dry apply with a damp cloth. Thought that was a result as drying the car is usually the most annoying and often leaves marks etc.

if your really lazy autoglym aqua wax isn't bad, was car, then apply the wax straight onto a wet car. works well if you need some quick protection.
