Sounds good! I'd definitely skip the megs step1 and AG SRP steps though, especially if you've already clayed the car.

There are a few swirls that need softening. Megs and AG will help that

You'll be wasting your time!
Clay, Klasse & Collinte is the perfect combo.
Wash and Clay - Cleans and decontaminates.
Klasse - Masks, shines and seals.
Collinite - Seals, protects and further shines!
Step 1 is a con, does no more than a clay or basic wax/polish cleaner.
SRP does the same as the Klasse, but the Klasse does a better job!
Just my view on it

Cheers mate Id like to think ive got a goodun
I occasionally visit tidy vag and so vag, but im mainly on here 90% of the time.
