I have a black aussie Ford Falcon that hasn't had a good clean in a little while. I am about to undertake a full by hand beginning to end all-weekend detail on it and wanted to get a view on if my process is correct and if there any views or comments from anyone.

Please note I don't have the budget for a machine polish or a snow foam lance/power washer - it'll just be a good old by hand process.

Will Buy:
Bug tar remover
2 buckets
Wash Mitt
Clay bar (meguiars)
Paint restorer (dodo lime)
Absorbent chamois
Polish (dodo)
Synthetic Sealant/Wax (tbc)

Process in order

1. Wheels
2. Rinse
3. Bug tar remover on sticky bits
4. Rinse
5. Wash/Clean
6. Dry
7.Clay
8.Paint Treat
9.polish
10.Wax

Would you agree with this order? Any thoughts on if any parts are missing or not required?
