Default Tell me if I'm using the right detailing products in order? (using Meguiars stuff)

After the washing, clay bar, and wash again I would like to know if this setup would be ideal for a novice detailer.

1) Meguiars #2 Fine-Cut Cleaner w/ Lake Country’s CCS Orange Pad (light cut)

2) Meguiars #80 Professional Speed Glaze w/ Lake Country’s CCS White Pad (polishing pad)

3) I'm thinking about a final polish of some sort, can anyone recommend me one?

4) Meguiars NXT 2.0 Tech Wax w/ Lake Country’s CCS Grey or Blue pad.

I would like to stay within Meguiars or OTC products. (my local autopart stores have a pretty good supply of Meguiars products)

If someone can advice me I would greatly appreciate the tip

#2 IMO has similar cutting ability with #80...just a little more aggressive...if you can find #83, that would be much much better...

then you could do #83 then #80...

for number 3, you can do #7 Show car Glaze

I don't think you need to wash again after claying.

+2 for this step. Its what I do except I substitute Menzerna FP II in place of #80 since I haven't picked it up yet
