Hi and welcome to MOL !

Looks like you are off to a great start !

As far as your process goes:

1. wash/dry
2. clay bar
3. paint cleaner
4. glaze 7
5. carnauba wax
6. nxt 2.0 wax

Step #4 above is really an optional step these days because of paint technology. A pure polishe like #7 was really designed for earlier style paints. That said, many people will still apply it, while others will skip it. If you do choose to use it, it is definitely in the right order

Steps 4 & 5 above...You probably don't need to buy both ...We would recommend choosing one LSP (last step product) and applying 2 really thin uniform coats. If you like a carnauba style of wax, Deep Crystal Step #3 or M26 would be a good choice. If you like the polymer / synthetic product, then NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 is definitely the product for you !

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
