As you can see I enjoy using products from multiple manufacturers to create my perfect wash routine. I go through this twice a year to protect my car and just use steps 1-6 for a normal wash giving me the amazing gloss shine without needing to re-polish every time thanks to the High Definition Wax.

My next intention is to use a Nano-Coating (probably Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light with EXO) to compare durability and shine to my normal sealant and wax routine.
