Interesting note, this upcoming weekend I am beginning the absolute largest assault on cleanliness and perfection on the car.

Steps are as follows:

1) Use dish detergent soap to remove all wax when washing car.
2) Dry with chamoi.
3) Claybar the entire cars surface (Mother's claybar)
4) Wet sand with 2000, 2500 and 3000 grit sandpaper by hand (will take several hours).
5) Re-wash car and rinse well.
6) Heat can of wax by flame (makes the wax really adhere to the paint when it's warm and the paint is cold) and apply three coats.
7) Polish the paint with polisher and buff with orbital buffer.
8) Seal the paint.
9) Clean everything else (shampoo and steam clean the interior, clean the wheels, door jams, underhood, etc.)

I'll take pictures. It'll be at least a two day fiasco...depends how much time I spend wet sanding.
