Definitely don't wanna waste money on things I'm not gonna use or mess anything up. So, no IPA for me and I'm considering just ditching the glaze all in all. My paint I wouldn't consider "dry" It's been up kept since the day it came off the lot in '91. To save money and possibly just not needing it, I'm ditching the glaze and p21s both probably.
How's this whole process sound for a whole detail?

Wash with Dawn.
Dry.
Clay.
XMT Swirl Remover
Menzerna Polish
DP Paint Sealant
Natty's Blue

None of the things you planned to use should mess up the car if used properly. What is the color and make of your car?

You might want to start a topic on the best products for single stage paint before you place your order. Mike will probably offer things to ponder.

I was a big fan of Megs #7 years ago and I also keep prewax cleaners around. Both should help reduce the need for aggressive polishing. SS paint especially reds and blacks always seemed soft to me, and you can't put it back on once you remove it.

Keep some IPA and odor free mineral spirits (High VOC) around. Sometimes one or the other quickly removes surface contaminates (like tar) that are PITA to remove with clay. Both are cheap.
