Thanks to everyone for advice. My first detail went great and I'd advise anyone who's scared of using a PC and/or products, don't be - it's easy and you'll get the hang of it fast.
I did an NXT wash, small amount of clay, AIO, UPP, UGE.
Here's my advice for other noobs:
* Wash well! Take your time and do it right - maybe even twice because everything hinges on this step.
* Do the wheels immediately - I waited for some stupid reason.
* FULLY DRY THE CAR. Use a leaf blower, you'll be glad you did.
* When applying AIO/UPP by PC, use a small amount and don't turn on the PC until it's touching the car!
* To buff off, put a MF polishing towel under your pad. I don't know if this is taboo, but it went great for me.
* To do a whole detail including swirl removal is a huge task. I skipped this step and you can still see the swirls, but you have to look through the shine and I'll tackle the swirls at spring time. The steps I listed pretty much burned me out.
All-in-all the car looks awesome and I couldn't have done it without you guys! Thanks!
