1. wash
2. dry with NEW microfiber cloth (this is essential to avoid swirl marks in your paint job -- NEVER re-use a microfiber for your paint job)
3. clay bar
4. repeat step 2
5. wax
6. repeat step 2

If you go to a car wash, make sure it is a TOUCHLESS wash...Mothers or Meguires both make excellent products...
