Claying and AIO steps

[Pennypacker]

May I please get some advice on the correct claying/AIO procedure? I already have a glaze, sealant, and multiple layers of wax on my car. I want to use clay, so should I clay with all this stuff already on my car then apply the AIO, or should I use AIO first, then clay. If it's the latter, then do I need to use AIO a second time after claying to proceed to the polish/glaze/wax steps? I've never seen a procedure outlined where someone went straight from the clay/rinse process to polishing.



I'm not sure if it's true, but I have always thought that claying should be done on a paint surface that doesn't have anything on it, which is why I'm confused. Also, I'm not sure if clay is meant to take off waxes and the like, a job for which AIO is specifically designed. Thanks in advance.

Claying is more than likely going to strip off all the products that you have on the car right now... I would just wait a bit until they all start to deteriorate. In other words, why ruin a perfectly good LSP setup?

anyways, the process is wash/clay/AIO. If you're going to be polishing out defects though, save AIO until after you polish, aka wash/clay/polish/AIO/LSP
