1. Wash Car
2. Clay bar (using wash suds)
3. Quick detail spray to clean off clay bar remnants
4. 3M rubbing compund
5. Quick detail spray again (as opposed to simply toweling off??)
6. Paint cleaner
7. Quick detail spray yet again
8. Polish
9 Quick detail spray yet yet agian
10. Duragloss wax/spray

Done!!
Whew!!

Any chance of getting this done in less than an hour ?? Just Kidding

What about OTC products for the tires and rims? I have the Meguiars Hot Shine but it stains my driveway.

Thanks again.

Tire shine stuff generlly sucks! But some OTC stuff works pretty well IMHO! Most of the spray-on foam products clean the sidwalls and produce a deep black appearance without the annoying glossy shine. They still will leave streaks on your driveway...do it in the street! Have fun and experiment...ther are 1,000 opinions on this topic.
