Awesome, thanks guys.  I just got the rinseless wash over christmas and have only tried it out once but am still a little concerned about not wanting to push the product to do too much.  Thanks for the responses!

I wouldn't worry about the initial presoak with rinseless. Also take out your step #3 and just go straight to claybar.  No need to waste detail spray and time drying the car when you are going to make it wet again with whatever your choice of clay lube is.  Squirt it right on top of the water and go to town claying.
 
For #5, you can do a quick rinseless wash as well if you would like and hold off on the alcohol wipedown until after you polish if you wish to do so.
 
Revive gets done before the Liquid paint sealant.  Any paint correction is always done after wash and claybar, then you add on your waxes/sealants/glazes.  
 
Personally I think that is too many waxes/sealants/and glazes topped on each other and could potentially dull all the shine a bit instead of bring it out more.  For durability I would go Brilliant glaze and then liquid paint sealant and hit it with H20 every other wash after that.  Or for shine and show I would go with Brilliant glaze and then buttery wax.  Side note: Some people like to put glaze on top of their waxes/sealants but I prefer it under since glaze has small filling properties.  Either way works and is correct, just whatever floats your boat.
 
Other than that, you seem to have the process down just off of the quick glance I took.  Go for it and put up pictures 

Mine is doing the same.  I just try to be more careful with it and not squeeze by the handle too hard

Awesome I will give it a shot.  Thanks

I tried out the new car wash wedge today as it finally is sunny this week and not raining where I live.  I think I am going to be the first one to say that I am not sure I am a huge fan of it but on my next wash I am going to give it another shot just to make sure.
 
Pros:
Easy to hold
Releases dirt with absolutely no effort
Holds a decent amount of water
 
Cons:
No where near the amount of suds using a wash pad gives you
The foam cuts need to be straightened after washing
Does feel like it glides across the paint as easily as a wash pad
 
Like I said, I am going to try again to see if I get different results next time but as of right now I am just bummed about the lack of suds this puts on the paint.
 
Here is a pic after the wash!(No Vrt on the tires yet)
 

Take an old rag or something next time and spread the product around evenly and you will be all good.  Spray, leave it there for a minute or so, wipe off/spread the excess around.

Thanks a lot. That worked.

Not sure but I believe the forum discount code is "SHINE ON".  I could be wrong on that though

Ask if they have used all the supposed best wash medias out there to compare the sea sponge to.
 
Here's the problem...
 
Too many people throw around the word 'best' that are not qualified IMO. It can't be THE BEST if that person hasn't used nearly everything (realistically) in a specific category. It's ok if a person says "It's the best ________ I've used", but then that's when you question them and ask how many other _______ have they used.
 
...and by qualified, I mean someone that has used a lot of different products. You see this kind of "best" stuff on car forums a lot. Irritates me.
 
Someone once told me that _______ is the best shampoo ever!....they had only used 3 shampoos at the time. Now how is that person qualified to say a specific shampoo is the best?

While the bottle of DS makes me happy, the MF towel on the GROUND!! makes me cringe lol.

I throw all m towels together in the same load and haven't come across any issues

Its OK... I'd be parked over there with you.... but probably on the opposite end of that lot just in case of door dings

Most will tell you to seal first but I always glaze first.  It is a solvent so it will take away oils on your paint plus it has fillers in it so it will make any imperfection less noticeable.  I glaze first because glaze is taken off very easily and I would rather protect it and make it last longer than having it washed away.  Also glaze does not effect the sealant sealing to the car and has no effect on the longevity of the sealant so to me it only makes sense to glaze first if you are going to use it. 

Mike, you're rationale is very correct.  This is why many seal, glaze, wax... in order to preserve the glaze shine.  I don't think they'red be much degradation using it the way I suggest.  I'm questioning which wax I'll use as I have Americana, Patriot, and Desire.

Thanks Adam,
 
Don't have this issue yet but I know its coming.  But I can say from first hand experience better on the car then on your person.  Seagull got me at San Diego Sea World.  Not nice

I would think that the best way to apply sealant would be to bare paint, so I'm not sure I would want a glaze underneath personally.  (I don't use glaze at all.) 
 
However, I certainly understand the logic used by hockyballer above.

Most people seem to e a fan of detail spray but it is not the best in my opinion.  I love the car shampoo and brilliant glaze!

I personally just fold mine into 4ths and then put them away in my tubs, Doesn't make a difference though so fold them however you want!

Looks amazing and I am not usually a fan of gt500's! Awesome work

No, you're right.  When it comes to carnuba waxes, the paste will most commonly last longer and give better visual results over a liquid.  Where Adams buttery (liquid) wax shines is its ease of removal and the fact that you can apply it in direct sunlight.  
 
If you want Daily Driver protection, ALWAYS go with a sealant.  I like a base of sealant on clean unprotected paint, topped with either Patriot or with BG and then Patriot. 

All of us here on the forum always back Adams for a few reasons.  Their customer service is absolutely amazing and are always willing to help and put the customer first, their products are extremely easy to use and produce amazing results, and they are backed by a 110% guarantee so if you don't like the product then you can send it back no questions asked and get a little extra for the trouble.
 
Personally I have just started using Adams products and I use them for all of the reasons I just said plus the fact that they have one product for each job and are not like some companies who make things confusing by putting out 4 or so products for the same thing.  In my opinion that is confusing and makes me wonder about the quality of the product if it takes them so many products to get one job done.  Another reason why I stay with Adams is because of this forum.  People are always willing to help out with any issues you have and are always willing to share their input on things.  Really the products will sell themselves once you try them and everything else is just a bonus, that is how I look at it.
 
As for your question about the wax, if I recall correctly the paste wax will last longer then liquid wax will but I could be wrong at that so anyone can correct me if I am wrong!

Well Mike, you beat me to it! But great information! We both are completely on the same page!
 
Ryan,
 
I just polished my camaro on Sunday. Here are some before and after pictures of my hood to show you what polishing can do.
