Please critique my process:
I’m new here. Just bought a 2018 model year car which appears to be in very good shape (it’s silver so harder to see swirls). I’m not a detailing fanatic but I would like to get the car started off right and keep it that way. Back in the early 2000’s I did get into detailing a little and therefore do have some old equipment (like my PC7424). After reading tons and watching videos, here’s what I’ve arrived at, and I’m hoping you all will give it a once over.
I want it to look good, but I don’t want it to cost a fortune and I want it to be easy to re-up every six months or so. Thanks in advance.

- Wash (I don’t know what the dealer put on it in terms of protection, so do I need some sort of aggressive-ph wash here to get it “back to zero?”)
- Iron X
- Clay
- Polish (should I use a good all in one or should a fine polish be good enough?) Which pad should I use?
- Something like carpro eraser to get ride of polishing residue
- Spray seal
- Graphene
- Some sort of quick detailer to enhance gloss?
