It's a solid routine, that's for sure. If you don't want to use 3 different products to clean the wheels, tires and wells, you can just use the Eagle 1 product, it'll clean all of the above quite nicely. But if you have the time and products, go for it. I personally find it to be a hassle to carry 3 bottles and necessary brushes around to each tire, when one bottle will work . I can't say that I've used Plastx with a PC before ... you may want to be careful with that. Once the polish goes clear, I'd stop the PC and wipe off with a towel to get optimal clarity.

Just did this myself with PlastX, it was simple and quick to do with the 3.5" pads, I also used 106ff. I wasnt really "careful" at all with the headlights and the polishing, didnt really think I had to be.

Link to my procedure and results are in my sig

Other than the simple green, because I dont really like it for use on cars, you'll do fine with the stuff youve got. Make sure to post pics of your results.
