waxing my car.Help!have a question?

I have to do a major detailing to my IP coupe....what do you think are the best steps to take in terms of detailing the car. Plus what is Cleaner/wax? is it a cleaner or a wax? This is what I have in mind.....

1. Wash
2. Clay bar
3. Wash
4. paint cleaner
5. polish
6. zimol cleaner/wax
5. wolfgang sealant
6. NXT wax

I don't know if it will be effective...what do you think is the best approch to all of this....My car is in really bad shape...plus I will be useing a 6'' orbital buffer. Thanks All

NO NXT!!! Bad wax that has not done well in recent tests. It also does not last a long time.

The best and ONLY wax IMHO is Zaino. You can't do better period.
