Wash and dry car. I clay it once a year or so, and the directions above are good. Just follow the directions on the box and you'll be fine. (When they say use lots of lubricant they MEAN it) Then...3M swirl mark remover to get out the bigger imperfections that inevitably show up, especially on a black car, followed by.. Menzerna final polish II, then Menzerna glaze to finish the prep work. I use Maguires High Tech Wax, two coats of P21S, and finally a misting of Maguires detail spray. All of this generally takes a couple of days to do. Don't rush through it and you'll be fine. When I finish, WOW it looks brand new...01 with 56K, driven all the time. Unfortunatly, since its a dark car, it only looks that way for a short while. Buy dayummmmm does it look good when its freshly detailed. Most top brands of polishes, glazes and waxes do a pretty good job these days. But just remember, its all the in prep work that goes into it BEFORE you apply these products that makes all the difference.

Have fun with it
