Thanks, Jameson
Jameson,

Your process looks complete and on point. The purpose of the alcohol wipe down is to remove any previous layers of protection or if you do it after a polishing step, to remove excess polish and potentially any fillers that the polish left behind to reveal your true clear coat. With your plan it isn't 100% necessary since you aren't using it after a polish. Between the clay bar and the polish you won't have any remaining protection on your paint.

For application, standard foam applicator pads would work just fine. Remove each product with some paint safe microfiber towels. Pace yourself, hand applications with that many steps will definitely take a toll on your body if you haven't performed a detail that large before.

Keep us posted on your results, it sounds like you've done some research already and you are on the right track with everything.

Good luck.

George
