Manual - don't use Dawn. It's a bit hard on the clearcoat. All you need is a standard wash, the clay bar will take care of stripping the wax.

Another vote for Optimum Opti-Seal.

4. 3 coats of Liquid Glass baked in the sun as per instructions.
5. 2 coats of Meguires wax.

It's amazing when it's done and it resists the industrial fallout nicely.

I'm a Liquid Glass user too.

I use NXT 2.0 every other waxing.

Don't know if this is getting through LG to the clear coat.

Think LG needs mineral spirits to remove it from the car ( been a long time since I looked at a can, thought that was the removal directions ).

I did another car today with opti seal and the key to it seems to be putting it on really thin. Then if you have streaks, wipe it down again with a QD spray and it evens right out.

I think now I prefer CarPro CQ UK edition. I like it better than Gloss coat or Opti Seal

You have to remember, everyone uses the same substances to formulate their products, what is different is the purity/concentration & price.....typical retail names are much more expensive per ounce than commercial lines....which typically hold up better and "work" better with much less effort!

BAF & 3M are my top choices...……..
