Nearly kev,
Pre wash,
Wash 2 bucket method,
Clay,
Wash 2 bucket method,
Dry thoroughly,
Polish,
Redmist as a sealant,
Wax.
After 24 hours you can then add another coat of redmist to make the colour reallyyyyyy pop.

Red mist is a spray sealant....basically it adds a good long lasting protecton to the paintwork.
You can also use it after washing the car though to give the just waxed look.
