Would you recommed this order?

1. wash
2. clay wax
3. liquid wax
4. sealant

Thanks boss
Sealant replaces wax, but sure you can use them both. Though a basic rule is that always the sealant first, then wax.
However, most liquid "waxes" are actually more sealants than real carnauba waxes.

Haha! It wouldn't be possible to wash the car outside, the water would freeze immediately.
I have a priviledge to wash it inside. The washing hall is a separate building so that's why there are few outside pics taken before the polishing + waxing.

The temperature is nice -15°C at the moment. Ideal weather to keep the car clean and shiny even with lots of driving .

Thanks Gav!
My winter tyres, studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, are one of the best winter tyres ever made. That's for sure...

The sun just and just escaped from me... well, anyway:
