nothing really wrong...

i first would wash and then inspect- are you sure that the car needs to be clayed and polished?
and just what are you polishing out? your process would get just about anything- but how bad are your swirls?

you dont want a synthetic to protect the paint? (not required, the p21s will work, but just not as long- i like p21s over a synthetic)


and the next to the last step is to stand back, admire and then take some pics so you can post em up here.

last step- pm me for the badge that you will have earned!!

Ive got a few scratches here and there, but there is a main one on the bonnet i don't think i can get out with a ROS it looks pretty deep.

I currently have some meguiars wetlook sealant, and about 3 coats of p21s wax.

The swirls are pretty bad, it looked good the first time i polished it, but a few weeks after in some medium to strong light you can really see the swirls and cobwebbing.

I must say after reading and seeing pics of your car wanabe, you've convinced me Z2 is what i want on my car.

Im planning on using Z2 later down the track when i get my hands on the whole Zaino kit. But for now i think ill just use p21s wax, i wash and wax my car pretty often so i think it should be enough to last.
