after you clay, you polish (either via hand or machine)

so yeah SRP would be fine. It's mainly a filler though so despite looking corrected the paint probably won't be for too long.

Sealing / Waxing comes after the polishing stage :)

after clay => a good rinse and a wash before anything.

For sealing i would say for you dodo juice red mist. For waxing something for warm colours such as dodo orange crush or supernatural

so the way you do it is

rinse car - snow foam if you have it
wash car
rinse
clay the car using a good lube such as born slippy
rinse
re wash
dry
seal
polish
wax

I would disagree with the above for sealing, Do Not use Red Mist before waxing, the solvents in red mist will not help with the bonding of the wax, it is used as a top up sealent on fully cured wax......You could consider Duragloss 111 as the sealent and then a wax on top, Dodo Juice is amazing but after every 2 or 3 washes then use red mist and it will give that deep gloss again.

i agree with you on this, and you should always polish before sealing
