Have PC and Products... Am I ready to go to town?

Ok, I've purchased the PC and products and thought I'd ask for any comments/suggestions for my specific situation before I do this for the first time:



Car: 98 Neon - Cherry Red (with decals down the sides) which has been abused (never seen a wax or polish and is full of swirls and a few significant scratches).

Pads: Sonus DAS

Polishes: Sonus SFX-1 and Zaino Z-PC



I still need to read more about proper PC use, but here's what I'm planning on. Do the entire surface with the more abrasive SFX-1 and the orange pad maybe taking an extra pass or two on the scratches. Then hit the entire car again with Z-PC and a green pad to essentially level out and clean up what's left from the rougher SFX-1. I imagine I'll have to take care to avoid the decals down the side. Hopefully, it won't look too dull around the decals. I'm thinking that those dull areas might just blend in. After polishing I'll be applying the Zaino line of protectants (Z2/Z5 with Z8 in-between).



Does this sound reasonable? Do you think SFX-1 and Z-PC work well in combination?
 
to save a lot of time try getting some of that blue masking tape from your local hardware store and tape off the decals' edges. this will allow you to get closer without ruining the decals - although i think they're pretty safe
 
Thanks for the tape idea Armand. Will definitely give that a try!



To the Admins - my apologies as I've double posted this thread (here and in University). Please don't hesitate to delete either one. I attempted to post this thread last night while the site was experiencing some down time and didn't think it worked. I tried again this afternoon when the site was back up posting in University instead since I realized that's where I should be posting anyway since I'm still in the "noob" category. My bad :-(
