How to detail White Skyline GTR with Poorboys products

I am about to try out my new Poorboys products on my white Nissan Skyline GTR. The paintwork is in pretty good condition. It has hardly been driven since the last time it was detailed (about 3 months ago). Last time it was detailed, it was done with the motheres 3 stage process.



There are a few minor scratches and swirls here and there.



I have a PC with some lake country foam pads as well as the pad that comes with the PC.



I have the following products at my disposal.



* SSR2.5

* SSR2

* SSR1

* PP

* PWC

* EX-P

* Nattys



Could someone please comment on my suggested approach, as well as suggest some starting speeds for the PC.



1) Wash car with Meguiars soft wash gel (this is all I have and I don't mind it)



2) Clay bootlid (seems to be the only part of the car with fallout)



3) SSR2.5 with LC cutting pad on the entire bonnet and wherever there are scratches and swirls



4) SSR2 with the white pad which comes with the PC on all areas done in previous step



5) SSR1 entire vehicle with LC white polishing pad



6) PP entire vehicle with LC white polishing pad



7) EX-P entire vehicle with black LC finishing pad



8) Natty's on entire vehicle. Should I do this by hand with a megs foam applicator or can I do with a black LC pad and PC?



Will I need to do anything to remove the old (mothers) wax LSP before I use SSR1?



Thanks so much in advance
 
Here's what I think:



SSR 2.5 / cutting pad

SSR 2 / white LC polishing pad

PwC / white LC polishing pad

EX-P / black LC finishing pad

Natty's by hand



You should be able to skip SSR 1 if you do a good enough job with SSR 2, and what you miss will be picked up by PwC, which I would use over PP since you are using carnauba LSP's anyway.
 
If the scratches/ swirls are only minor then the SSR 2 should be more than enough to get them out with (can't comment on what pads to use though as I've never used LC pads, only Meg's pads).



Product wise I'd go:



SSR 2 + a polishing pad

PwC + a polishing pad

EX-P + a finishing pad

Natty's by hand



Should look great when it's done! :)
