I plan on doing the following to my car this weekend. It is still nearly brand new with no swirls that I can see.

No garage means that I will have to do this in sections as I won't have shade until 6 PM, so maybe a panel or two a day :cry:

Use Megs APC and brushes on the wheels, tires, and wheel wells at the coin op - spray off any dust while there.

ONR using two bucket method once I get it home.

Clay the paint and wheels.

I don't think any correction will be necessary, if it is I will use the Wolfgang twins.

I will be using an HF DA to apply the following (I ordered a 5" backing plate and LC 5.5" flat foam pads, and a 3" backing plate with Griots 3" orange and red pads):

Start with XMT 360.

Then DP Sealant, followed by Collinite 845. I will also use the 845 on the wheels.

I will do a test section with Megs #26, not sure what the 845 will look like.

Does this sound like a good process? I will also be doing the interior/engine bay, but those are not bad at all. The paint isn't bad, I just want to protect it.
 
Congrats! (and I thought my first order was all I needed...not so much :D )

Looks like you have a good plan to me - definitely send up some pics! :xyxthumbs:
 
Awesome! Enjoy your stuff and take your time. Nothing sux worse then when your in a rush and you have to end up doing it 2x.

I know better than to think 1 order is enough.

I've already placed 2 more with AG lol! Those should be here Thursday.

I will definitely be posting pictures.
