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! :P

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 8)
