Sounds like you're on the right track with your process.

Wash - Clay - Seal - Glaze - Wax.

Any of those can be omitted, but the ones you do need to be performed in that order for the best results.

I though wax was a sealant? :eek:kay:

Two completely different products, my friend.

Sealants are synthetic polymers that are designed for longevity. They chemically bond to your paint when applied and allowed to cure.

Waxes are your last step product (LSP.) The "ride" on top of your finish, giving protection and shine/depth to your paint.

If you want to go whole-hog, use a sealant for longevity, a glaze for jaw-dropping shine, and a wax to lock everything in and simplify the shine from the sealant and glaze.

This is what Machine Super Sealant, Brilliant Glaze, and Americana look like when used together:
