I've had more than a few nice cars, but I've always just washed and waxed. I've researched on this thread and bought some stuff from SMP, but I've still got a few questions...

I know that you wash before and after you clay bar the vehicle. I bought some Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze and some Carnuba Moose Wax. Do I have to wash again after I put the hand glaze on? It's supposed to remove the stuff the clay doesn't get, so I just wanted to make sure whether or not it's supposed to be washed off or just buffed off like wax. Below is a list of stuff I bought. Let me know if I forgot anything. I'm sure there's always more, but I want to make sure I have the basics. Thanks!

You don't really need to wash after you clay. You apply the Vanilla Moose and remove it with a microfiber towel. Foam applicators work best for the Carnauba Moose Wax. Both are wipe on wipe off products. You can let them dry to a haze, but I prefer the wipe on, wipe off technique.

Cool. Thanks!
