Just a few questions i need answered.

1) Is this the right order for a full detail job?
  1. Wash
  2. Clay
  3. Polish
  4. Wax
If not please help a bortha out.

2)
I got my car washed today, i was going to do all of it but didn't have enough time. Should i re-hand wash my car quickly tomarow before i go ahead with this?

3) Would it be better to do ALL (other then wash) in my garage, because of the sun? or wouldn't matter that much.

You are good to go. Clay your car first. You do not need to rewash. Polish your car, then wax. As for the sun, it is your worst enemy. Make sure to do your car in a cool, shaded area, either outside or in the garage. The sun causes waxes and polishes to set up too quickly and dry before they have a chance to interact with the paint.
