help.... is it da right order?

sorry if it's a repost..... i read all the thread about the order in the past... but still don't get which one is right....
anyway.....
1. wash /dry
2. paint cleaner (Meguiar's seep crystal system step 1)
3. clay bar (Meguiar's quik detailer+ clay)
4. wash/dry (do i need to wash again?? this make me confused)
5. Sealant (Klasse SG)
6. wait an hour Sealant again (Klasse SG)
7. Wax (Meguiar's Gold)
8. wax again (Mothers Carnauba)

i know the clay megic is the best clay but i can't find any in Canada... i'll get the mothers clay next time. Meguiar's Gold and Mothers carnauba ( i don't know is this good or not.... i'll try) i'll get the P21s after i finish the mothers and Gold... Thank you for the help~

1. wash /dry
2. clay bar (Meguiar's quik detailer+ clay)
3 (O). wash/dry (do i need to wash again?? this make me confused) -optional, but I wouldn't
4. paint cleaner (Meguiar's seep crystal system step 1) OR/AND Klasse AIO would fit here
5. Sealant (Klasse SG)
6. Wait at least 24hours for Sealant again (Klasse SG)
7. Wax (Meguiar's Gold)
8 (O). wax again (Mothers Carnauba) - no need for this wax again unless you just like rubbing your car.

my hood with this process;
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Meg's ColorX
4. AIOx2
5. SG waiting for another layer of SG
6. plan to top with #26 once a month or so until Fall

Correct. The only time where claying would not be first (or even done) would be a heavily oxidized vehicle.

can anyone explain why i have to wait 24 hours to put another coat of Klasse sealant?
this question is stupid but i just wanna make it clear....
after i apply the 1st coat of sealant do i just leave it on for 24 hours? or just rub it off?? i know i have to rub it off but is it better to leave it on for 24 hours and leave my car in da garage? sorry for the noob question

You need to let it "cure" for 24 hours before applying another coat. You don't have to leave you car in the garage and can drive it, but you'd need to wash it again before applying another coat.

For Klasse application and removal you can apply it to the whole car and then start buffing it off where you first started on the car. Then you leave it for 24 hours before applying the next coat.

Good lcuk and post pics when you're done.
