A few questions from a novice.

OK so Im not stranger to detailing my car but im deff no professional and usually use stuff youd normally find at pepboys/autozone. Here is my question what are like general descriptions of the following and what order do I use them in. Like what does each product do.

Glaze?
Wax?
Polish?
Sealer?

Which is better liquid or paste?

autogeek.net is the best place for info in my opinion, plus they have an online shop to buy products and it explains what each is best for.

Autopia and Autogeek are both great places for tech.

I bought the whole Optimum schpiel (Compound, Polish, Sealer) and was using Natty's Blue for a year or so. My buddy just got Klasse AIO (All In One) and on a black car it freaking blew away what Optimum's stuff did for his finish. He used some other stuff for glaze (Moosewax?) and then finished with Natty's as usual. Freaking insane how it shines.

i just got some Natty's Red and am gonna try it out when i get it.

I just have this horrible, dreadful feeling, that what I'm driving here, is an ending.
