Need to get my dads car (E-class) nice and clean for a wedding next weekend. Was after a bit of advice as to what I should do? I'm thinking:

1. Wash using Autoglym shampoo conditioner thingy
2. Allow to dry (should I use a cloth to dry or just let it dry naturally?)
3. Polish using Autoglym super resin polish
4. Wax using some Meguires spray wax thing we have lying around
5. Hoover/clean interior

Don't really want to buy any more products as we already have these at home, although if I need to buy a claybar or a special cloth for drying then that is fine.

Should I bother claying the car? There are a few bug marks on the bonnet and front bumper, or is there a better way to get rid of these? Also, I've never used claybar so don't want to mess it up.

Simplicity is the key, don't want to spend more than 4 hrs really.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will give claying a go.

Is it ok to use that Megs wax after applying Autoglyn srp?
