recommendations in detailing process!

I really want to detail my car. I have done a fair amount of searching but i came across literally hundreds or either different processes or products for different cars. I give up!

Im just looking for a basic detailing for my car that will protect my finish and keep it look clean

As far as i know its rinse>soap>rinse>dry>Clay>polish>wax>sealant

Are the steps correct? What kind of products do you guys recommend for each step? any extra tips, sites you guys can point me too.

Anything is much appreciated.

You have the last two steps reversed. Also, wax is purely optional for a little added gloss. The polymer sealant is all you really need as a last step.

rinse>soap>rinse>dry>Clay>polish>sealant>wax
