Hi!
I was wondering, what steps, EVERYTHING, do you do when you do a complete all day clean on your car?
Wash, Wax, Polish, etc?
From Start to Finish?... and what kind of products do you use or recomend?

i first go have fun driving though puddles..lol then i was the car with "zip wax" and a old green towel, then i dry it off with a big huge thick towel, then i wax with whatever i happen to reach for first, i usually use 3 differant waxes...lol then it stays clean for about 2 days then its back to the start again...its never ending..worst thing is, when mine is at its cleanest it looks the same as most other dirty cars..

I give it a good wash with whatever you use... i like good ole turtle wax car wash, or meguiars deep crystal or whatever it is.... go over it with a claybar, and then 2 or 3 coats of your favorite wax... that does the trick

Well, here are the steps I go through:
1. First I take it to a high pressure car wash cuz my car gets VERY dirty. I go once over with the wash, then I go ahead and rinse it off. DO NOT USE THE BRUSH unless it's for your tires. That Foaming brush will totally scratch up your clear coat.
2. Next I chamois it off. I use a genuine cowhide chamois cuz those work the best.
3. After wiping it down I let it sit for awhile to let it totally dry off.
4. Next on the agenda is waxing...I use Carnuba Car Wax made by "Mothers." It's the best wax I've ever used. I think it even beats out the good 'ol Turtle Wax.
5. Last but not least I gotta get my tires lookin' good. I use Eagle ONE Wet Tire stuff. It works really good. Make sure you don't actually spray the stuff on you tires. This gets overspray all over your wheel well. Spray it on a rag or something and wipe it on.
There it is...gettin' your car looking like new in 5 easy steps. The steps may be easy, but they are time consuming.
