Hi dtomlin,
For a full detail (4 times a year or so) I typcially do the following:
* pre-clean engine, tires, and wheels....
1.) wash the car very thuroughly (adams car wash)
2.) dry the car (detail spray and waffle towel)
3.) clay bar on the back, front, glass, and lower side pannels
4.) swirl and haze remover / revive polish (brilliant spray glaze on windows)
5.) remove the clay / revive / and swirl and haze / spray glaze
6.) butter wax (very light)
7.) remove wax
8. ) metal polish #1 and #2 on the chrome
9.) clean the interrior and exterior rubber (VRT, leather conditioner, in&out spray)
10.) Glass cleaner
11.) drink beer
At each step I think, whats the point, and the it just keeps looking better and better. For maintnance its a basic wash / dry and maybe a metal polish #1 on the chrome and a quick job on the interrior.
