Clean inside door panel.

I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to say here.

And why do you use Lysol wipes on the car? I would think they’re better left for cleaning up the bathroom instead of your car.

Because I'm ocd. I thoroughly and perfectly cleaned every single square inch of the car - belt, inside glove box, behind steering column, headliner, etc.
 
Well, today's humidity is 56% and temp is 79. While tomorrow morning humidity is 88% and temp will reach 91 in the afternoon.

I will be detailing in my garage, but high humidity is bad for curing sealant and wax, right?

More often than not it does.

Hmm. Maybe there is something wrong with the way I'm claying?

Anyways, I will definitely wipe down the car with IPA to make sure previous sealant and wax are no long on it.

So... Should I wash the car after IPA wipe down...?

No. That would be working backwards. The IPA will leave a cleaner surface than probably any carwash.

And, similar to what Eldo said, if you're claying with say N-914 as a lube, you could wipe off and go straight to a sealant
 
There are countless ways to clean them. Here is mine:

For the part where there is grease and or oil, I use orange degreaser. I spray the hinges and then agitate with a soft brush that I spray orange degreaser into before starting. This just melts away grease and oil. I then use my pressure washer to rinse it all up. If no grease is left, I go to step 2. If some remains, I use a microfiber damp with ONR (I dunk it in the ONR bucket then ring it out hard), I tend spray some orange degreaser in the towel and wipe the remaining grease away. This product is just fantastic.

Once that is done, I use a quick detailer on a microfiber towel to wipe the entire area around the door. I also wipe the door panel (metal part inside the car).

I used to apply spray wax (D156) but I think that the quick detailer is protection enough for that area. You can always go bunkers and apply nano-ceramic coating or long duration sealant if it's your own car... will just make cleaning easier in the future.
 
Can I use Meg's Ultimate Quik Detailer to clean those painted parts? This is the same as regular quick detailers, right?
 
All quick detailers do the same thing. They are a cleaning product that is more effective than a rinseless wash but less than a waterless wash. They also contain some form of protection for the surface and lubricants to prevent damage during the cleaning.

Quick detailers can be used on dusty surface but are not recommended on dirty ones.

Ultimate Quick Detailer is a fine product. I use their Detailer line's equivalent and I love it.

That's not OCD. That's something else.
