Looks like you are off to a good start!

Add a couple of ounces of APC to the wash bucket to remove remaining wax. It is always a good idea to get the paint as clean as possible before starting a full detail. Old wax/sealant can clog the clay and pads so removing it will allow the products to work to their full potential.

Is that Bucket #1 (in the 2 bucket method)?

 

Also thanks again mc2hill for the info!

With the 2 bucket method one bucket has the wash solution and the other has clean water. So the APC would be added to the Adam's Car Wash Shampoo in the wash bucket.
