Do you:

Wash, polish, clay, wax

or

Wash, clay, polish, wax

Heard someone saying the other day that claying after polish is better as it gets rid of all the crap that polish leaves behind

Wash clay polish wax

And yes it's reusable you are always kneeding it when it gets dirty so cleans itself.

How can you not use them properly, they are for removing tar from the paint.

For that price, I might actually be converted to washing my car

People rush it, and miss a lot. They think just a quick rub will do, when in fact you have to keep going over untill all is smooth.

Your best buying a kit really. You need the detailing spray as a lube for the clay. Otherwise it wont work and will catch on the paint.

I found I used nearly a whole bottle claying the golf though.

I do it in this order, wash, clay, polish, wax, sealant
