Order of detailing

[LETHALxLS1]

Is this the right order of doing things?
1) clay bar
2) polish
3) glaze
4) wax

???? I am pretty sure it is but wanna make certain. Thanks

That order sounds right to me, but I'd wash the car first and do paint sealant before the wax. That's what I'm doing right now.

wash with palmolive to remove all the old wax first ?

Wash it good with a good dish cutting soap before you do anything else.

also i heard dawn dish det. is the best to use.

ive heard not to use dish soap because its not good for the clear coat... and to just use car soap and clay bar because the clay bay will remove the wax without doing any damage... and make sure to add a wash step in front of the clay bar to get all the major pieces of dirt and contaminants that are on the car off so the clay bar will have a longer lifespan

In a nutshell it is correct
There are a few little steps in between, like doing a wipe down of IPA 50/50 after claybarring, and polish. When you polish by machine, you really don't have to use dish detergent to remove anything. The polish in itself will remove anything clean off the surface. You may only need to use dish detergent, if you're not polishing, and want to do a fresh coat of wax. Me personally not a fan of dish detergent to put on my car, or a customer's for that matter...
