Right OK. I own a Red Corsa B. I'm planning on polishing it tomorrow and was hoping you guys can help me get the best results. I have purchased the Meguiars Claybar Kit today, as Clay Bars seem to be recommended on here so i thought id give it a bash. Anyway, I'll write a list of what cleaning products I have and hope you can give me the best order to get results.

Meguiars Claybar with Quik Detailer and Cleaner Wax (comes with Clay Kit)
Meguiars 3 Step System (Paint cleaner, Polish and Carbanuba Wax)
I also have T-Cut (probably irrelevant lol) and I think I may have some AutoGlym Polish, not the SRP one.

So Does anyone know a good order to use the products in to give the best results? I know Claybar will be first. Thanks for your help!

Wash
Dry
Clay
Wash
Step 1 - paint cleaner
Step 2 - polish
Step 3 - wax

Stand back and admire, keep it well waxed and won't need much in way of polishing!

When you say wash after the clay? do you mean sponge and shampoo again? then dry..

You don't really have to dry before claying or wash before the paint cleaner.
