I needed some clarification on exactly how to utilize the products I plan to use when applying the CAR PRO UK coating system. Do I: wash and dry first, then use the Iron X decontamination followed by another wash, rinse, and dry then claying followed by compounding, polishing, using CAR PRO ERASE, and then applying the coating followed by CAR PRO RELOAD? I'm not sure of whether I have all of the steps I should use or if I might have some of the steps in the wrong order. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help in this and I thank you all in advance.Feed back please
 
Many people will use iron-c before their wash to save a step, just depends on how dirty the car is. Obviously, if it's caked in mud, the iron-x won't be able to reach the paint.

Many people don't bother doing a full dry before claying, just use a higher concentration of clay lube. Make sure jambs and mirrors are clean.

You can use car pro essence as your final polish and eliminate the need for an eraser wipe down
 
Thanks for the advice. It can save me some time and effort.
 
•Before claying:
-I do "The Baggie Test".

•Before compounding/polishing:
-I use a "Swirl-finder" (inspection light)...
(so I may make a more educated guess
towards what I'm going to start off with
when performing "The Test Spot").
