Default That's about it.

I started with a wash with Dawn to strip wax and really make sure that everything was clean (all the panel seems and such). Then the clay magic. This step took a little over 2 hrs but 1 hr alone on the back bumper, the rest goes quicker. Make sure you use lots of lube. I used the entire spray bottle that came with it and some leftover Mothers detailing spray. You can substitute water with soap in it as a lube as well. After the clay I washed again with normal car wash soap to get all of the clay/detailer residue off.
Then the polish and wax. You may need to wait a day between coats of wax. Some types of wax say that you shouldn't apply another coat immediately.
Oh yeah, and one final step... post pics!! Everyone likes to see clean shiny TTs
