What do you think of my detailing regimine and product choice?

I'm research my new weekly wash, detail regimine.
A regimine that's not going to take me all day.

- Wash (weekly)
- Griots detailing clay (when needed)
- A layer of Klasse Sealant (twice a year)
- Finish off with 2 layers of Pinnacle Souverän™ Carnauba Paste Wax (touch up after every weekly wash)

What do you think?
What is your simple regimine?

I would add that you may have use some type of polish periodically (one or twice a year)because it is black and the swirls will drive you crazy.

I really like Sonus green clay personally. But I agree that you need to put a polish in there once or twice a year, to alleviate swirls.

Also good choice on Wax, i really like it :thumbup:

You should try Chemical guys Jetseal 109 for sealant too

for a good Polish Try Menz PO106FF with a buffer of your choice

check out the results i got on a car ( i have all the products listed i used)
