today i washed it utilizing the 2 bucket system with gritgaurds. rinsed using the sheeting method. did not dry it. i applied chemical guys butter wet wax to the car while it was still wet, the wax pushed the water off the car. did one section with the BWW and immediately buffed with plush microfiber towel i applied it with a a microfiber applicator. after the car was done i could not believe how good this wax is. you can apply it on a wet or dry surface. upon inspection of my work all i could say was $#@#$%$. it looks better than showroom. My car is a 2013 star fire pearl GS 350 F-Sport. the shine is ridiculous for a light colored car. Chemical Guys Butter wet wax is the truth.

Sounds like a hell of a day.
I am looking at the products you used and just out of curiosity, why did you use three different waxes/sealants and two different tire gels? That must have taken alot of time.
I usually keep it simple, after a thorough wash and degreasing, dry the car and use iron-x on it, which cuts clay time at least by half. Then go straight to wax or sealing if you are not using a machine to do any sort of correction. As unexciting as it may sound, I found out that to speed up the detailing process, you just have to do each car the same way and take the same steps throughout the process.
Good luck next time!
