Never used lime prime before, just wondering for tomorrow do I clay then lime prime or the other way round?
 
Lime prime is an alternative to super resin polish, so its after claying.

(Prewash)
rinse
wash
rinse
(clay)
(rinse)
dry
(polish)
wax or sealant

bits in brackets are if optional stages to a normal wash.

It's an alternative to SRP as long as we are talking about the process steps I think :)

So your Lime Prime is a heavy cleaner that you can use to make the paint slick and clean again before putting your wax layer on. Wax bonds best to a clean surface.
If you feel like you don't have to clay, but you want to put a new wax layer on, you can use Lime Prime as well to remove old wax layers and other dirt and obtain a clean surface :)

i used this on my friends car today and i thought it was good to use with esp in this weather, really easy to put on and take off. I've got loads of layers of polish, wax and so on on mine and i will use this soon

can you put sealant and glaze on or is it one or the other? also tell me what the diff is between them please

Some glaze's and sealants don't work well together. This is especially when you have an oil-based glaze (ClearKote Red Moose) with a sealant without cleaners (Like Mothers FX spraywax).
A glaze based on acrylics will most likely work. (Poorboys Black Hole)
