0 Team Adam's Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thats perfectly fine. You'll want to do a quick wipe down before you start waxing to address any dust or things that might have settled on the paint overnight. Also, remember if you are not polishing you will need to remove the clay residue going straight to wax. So this would be a case where it would make sense to wash, clay while wet, then rewash and dry in preparation for the wax the next day.

0 valente Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 The car its going to sit outside,so I was thinking to do the clay today and wash it again tomorrow before doing the wax.By that I mean polishing it first than doing the wax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 valente Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 OK,so I messed up.I did the severe swirl remover and then the swirl remover (oenge pad).I did not do the fine machine polish I went straight to the machine super wax.Should I start over or just finish it Its just my older van that we don't drive that much anymore.I just want it to look decent while we are driving down to Orlando.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mike690001 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thats fine for now. In a couple months, you can do a pass of machine polish to make it pop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you weren't going for 100% perfection then there is nothing to worry about, and I'm sure it already looks a lot better than it did before you started. No reason to have to start over.
