Prima Products in Hand... next step?

Obviously, wash with Mystique.

I have sitting before me, Slick, Clarity, Swirl (which I think I'll wait to use when I have a polisher) and Hydro.

It's going to storm again in a couple of days, but I'd like to clean my little baby today when the sun starts to go down in the evening. After the washing, what steps do I then take with the rest of what I have?

Thanks y'all!

wash with your mystique and use Hydro while you dry for now.

Did you get any clay? If not, you'll want to clay the panels (if it feels
rough) with some Slick (or get some cheepo maroon bottle Meguiar's QD).

After your storm, you might want to remove the old wax with some
Griot's paintprep or that paint clenser minimaybee mentioned.

Then polish with your Swirl as needed if you have swirls.
Epic/ or watever wax of your choice at the end.

on my daily driver, i haven't polished the paint yet this season... just
wash and Hydro. looks great.

Good advice.
Just do the Hydro until you can do the works.
Also, you WILL want to clay. I have yet to encounter a car that has not been clayed that did not need it.
