C-quartz on new car advice

[watermark]

Hey guys, looking for advice on my new car.

Just bought a 2013 Ibis White Audi S5. I've decided that I want to apply C-quartz, and as I've never done an entire car, I was hoping for some prep advice. My prior car was an Alpine white BMW 335i, and I only polished and waxed it, so I'm a relative newbie to semi-permanent coatings. I'm fairly comfortable with the application methods for C-quartz, but want to make sure that the prep is perfect. Luckily the car was not washed prior to me getting it, so it's about 95% swirl free now, I just don't want to screw it up.

What I have:
* CarPro Fixer
* Optimum Hyper Polish
* Menzerna SIP
* Menzerna Super Finish
* Flex PE 14-2 150
* PC 7424XP
* LC pads (all colors)
* IPA

I'm just looking for opinions on prep steps, buffer speed, passes, etc.

Thanks.

If the Car is in new condition follow these steps

Wash
Clay
Polish
Eraser
C-Quartz

Before moving to C-Quartz make sure you are happy with the current condition of the paint. If not start with a med grade before going to heavy than follow with polish etc. Remember less is more
