Smile Need some question answered about detailing

I'm going to buy some menzerna SIP, 106FF , pete's 53 wax, jetseal 109.

Possibly more. My question is in what order do I use the above items.

Thanks for everything. And am I missing anything?

The proper order would be, Menzerna SIP, PO106FF, Jetseal 109, Pete's 53 (ideally 24 hours after the sealant has cured).

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Whats Menzerna SIP & 106FF? I thought the correct order would be..
1. wash
2. clay
3. wash again
4. seal
5. wax

What is the correct order? What am I missing.. Also with jetseal I should let it sit overnight before I wax? And how do you apply jetseal? Do you just apply like a hand wax and wipe off? Or do you let it haze overnight and wipe off in the morning?

Thanks in advance!!

1. wash
2. clay
3. wash again
4. seal
5. wax

That is the correct order if you do not plan on polishing. If you wanted to add polishing the correct order would be:
1. wash
2. clay
3. wash again
4. polish (SIP -> PO106FF)
5. seal
6. wax


What is the correct order? What am I missing.. Also with jetseal I should let it sit overnight before I wax? Not literally let the product sit on the paint, but apply it, remove it, then wait 24 hours before applying anything else. And how do you apply jetseal? Either by hand or with a buffer, same as how you'd apply any other sealant. Very thin applications with little to no pressure. Do you just apply like a hand wax and wipe off? Or do you let it haze overnight and wipe off in the morning? Apply, remove after a haze (~10 mins).

Thanks in advance!!
