Hows my yearly car care program?

[SOG35]

Just want some opinions on how I can improve on my yearly car care program. Please note that this is only for the exterior of the car. I have a black G35 thats about 2 years old. Its in great shape, just some swirls and minor scratches here are there. Any suggestions on products or procedures is greatly appreciated!

Once a week = Wash car and rims, dress tires with eagle one spray, spray wheel wells with tire foam = two bucket method with Megs Gold Class or QEW, dry with waffle.

Once a month = scrub tires with simple green, dress exterior vinyl with Vinynex, clean wheel wells with simple green then dress with eagle one tire shine.

Every other month = seal with EX-P, only one layer.

Twice a year = clay, cut pad SSR2.5, polish pad SSR1, EX-P.

When needed = AIO for glass and plastic lenses, metal clean chrome.

anything I'm missing? suggestions? thanks!

Looks great! I might put AIO in your polishing routine as a base for the EX-P. And add a QD that fortifies your protection, maybe 4*UGE

thanks for the suggestions!
so if i do incorporate AIO it would be =

SSR2.5 (trouble areas)
SSR1 with polish pad
AIO with polish pad
EX-P by hand or finish pad

or can i skip the SSR1 step? I'm thinking that i need SSR1 to get rid of hazing left by 2.5. I'm assuming the AIO is a chemical cleaner not an abrasive.

I wouldnt not skip the ssr1 step. You have it absolutly right it gets rid of any hazing and yes aio is a chemical cleaner and not an abrasive. I guess im just repeating what you said but i agree with you.
