    Confused about "middle" steps of detailing...

    I would also wash the car after claying to assist in removing any silicon within clay lube which could hinder any polishing stage. This is sometimes noticeable with the like of Megs Last Touch being used a clay lube.

I do know of a company who will expect you to pay in full when booking the job. I thought that was crazy but they dont struggle taking payment from anyone and that means...
