Critique my process

[dsl1]

I am about to place an order for hopefully everything I need. I just want to check to make sure this sounds good before I place it.





Exterior:



Wash:



Optimum NRWS and spraying down areas before from a spray bottle. Two buckets using microfibers



Dry with waffle weave



Clay:



Meguiars Quik Clay with Detailing Spray



Polish:



Pads I am buying: Excel 4in Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue. 6.75in P2 pads Orange, Green, Blue + a regular 7in gray pad. 3in and 6in backing plates.



Poorboys SSR 2.5 using 4in orange pad. The car has plenty of swirls and scratches.



Poorboys SSR 1 on 6.75in green pad to remove anything left over from from the 2.5



Poorboys EX-P on gray pad. 2 coats? Or should I do this by hand?



Natty blue using foam applicator. How long should I wait after the EX-P to apply the natty blue?



Trim with Mother Back to Black: Should I do this before the wax?



Tires with Meguiars Hot Rims





Anything to watch out for? I'm excited :2thumbs:

Your good to go. I would wait at least 24 hours before applying Natty. I usually do the trim after I do the paint, but that's me. Good for you, have fun.

Is the car drivable during those 24 hours? Do I have to wash again after the 24 hours before the wax?



Thanks!

Yes, you can drive your car. It depends on how much dirt/dust gets on there. If there is alot then wash, if not do a QD. I usually wait about 2 weeks, to absorb what the sealant or whatever I just put on looks like, then I just wash and apply whatever.
