Detailing Car Today - NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

Hey guys so i bought a bunch of stuff from chemical guys and just had a quick question on which way to use the products.

So i will be doing the following

1 - wash car
2 - Clay bar
3 - Dry car

Here is what im confused about, i bought there quick detailer v7, black light polish and black wax.

Do i use the black light first and then quick detailer v7 and then the black wax? Or do i use the black light, the black wax and then the quick detailer v7 at the end? The v7 comes as package with the black light but the black light also comes as a package with the black wax, so im kind of confused which way to use them. Please help!!

No wax always goes on in the end, i know that much. For this quick detailer v7 though, ive seen chemical guys how to videos and they applied the black light polish and then the v7 and it called it done but didnt mention anything about wax BUT in another video on steps to detailing they say to always use the quick detailer at the very end...lol

Quick detailer is in between polishes and waxes. It serves as a quick and easy method of keeping your paint in great condition!

You don't need to use it after a fresh wax, as it is made up of liquid wax and other ingredients!

Polish is a finisher like the quick detailer, but only used when paint needs a refresh. Quick detailer is used after EVERY car wash if you want to keep it shining. If you clay you use quick detailer.

Steps:
Wash
Clay if you want (breaks down bad surface grime)
Polish (freshen paint)
Quick wash (spray down and lightly wipe with cleaning sponge etc)
Wax.

So i guess its like this

Wash
Clay
polish
wax

Then for your weekly car maintanance wash you

Wash
Quick detailer

Then once a month if you want

Wash
Wax

Then once every 6 months or so depending on condition

Wash
clay
polish
wax

IF you will use quick detailer, I would touch up on wax, b/c some detailers will remove wax.
