Default Skip polishing and do everything else?

As much as I would love to give my car the full detail...I am not very comfortaable with the polishing part, I want to have much more time to do it...would it be a problm to just skip the polishing part? and just wash with dish soap, then clay bar, then glaze then wax?

Absolutely not -- That is all I have done with my car so far..

A detail doesn't HAVE to include a polish.. It will look great, take your time with the claybar and you will be very impressed after you wax.

Not so sure about the glaze in there -- I would just wash/claybar (rinse), dry, and wax/seal. -- Use something like NXT 2.0.

lol...well i decided just to polish it (and skipped the glaze cuz i couldn't find any at Napa or Kraigen...just polish)...thanks for the help though i figure I doubt it's been done at all really before and it looks amazing cmopared to what already looked nice...the claybar made a huge difference too...I am planning to post up some pics very soon...but yeah i used a Du Pont wax and it works great...but who knows when that's used up i'll prolly just try the Meguairs 2.0 since i've been hearing great things about it.
