after wash, before polish/wax. If you use it before wash it's a waste as you're gonna grab all the dirt into the clay bar and just use that as grit to scratch the paint

Alright good cause that's what I do. I read somewhere that you should before you wash and it didn't sound right to me.

Car looks great! I like the EagleOne Nano wash & wax too, btw.Originally Posted by WOLFN8TR
Dish Soap to prep wash it. Mothers Clay bar kit-$20. Clayed the entire car then washed it again. Waxed it with Eagle One Nano wax-$18, stuff is awesome and so easy to use. It smells like bubble gum!
It amazing how rough the paint was. While using the clay bar at first it sounded like sandpaper. Not no more!

dish soap...yikes! do your paint a favor and get a quality body shampoo.
always wash before claying. You'll ruin the clay and do more damage to the paint if you do it before cleaning all the dirt off the paint.

Thanks. I really like the Eagle One products, I used their Mag cleaner on the rims and it works great.
Normally I would not use dish soap but I wanted to strip the old wax and get it real clean and ready for Claying.

I really like their Wipe and Shine quick detailer a lot. I've used the Wax as you dry, with pretty good results and the Nano Wax spray with nice results as well. For products that you can get at any automotive store, they're pretty awesome.
