Noob here, does this sound like the right way?

Hi All, I'll admit I'm a noob here but here goes:
Please don't flame me...I've been reading my butt off...

I am going to get a PC 7336 in the next few days. I am trying to detail my my 2000 Silverado. I bought it with 91K miles and it has 102K miles now. The paint is in good shape except for some cobwebbing (due to me washing it without the right mitt probably). It is a medium grey color so I'm thinking of the following:

Wash
Clay (which I've done before)
ZFX-2 with the PC, due to the cobwebs
AIO
Klasse Sg (as necessary)
natty's Blue as a final coat

Am I heading in the right direction? Here are some pics of my truck that I used the McGuires 3 step on. All by hand (thought I was having a heart attack the next morning due to the arm numbness....)

That is certainly the correct order for the products you have there and that should all work nicely together. I have seen excellent results from the acryllic sealent Klasse SG on that colour (well, a very similar BMW colour of steel grey), and the Nattys would add a little bit of nice depth to that.

sounds good
by zfx do you mean zpc?

and the sg will give you durable protection so that is a necessary step

Isn't ZFX just the additive that makes their sealants cure faster?

Yeah, I think he might mean Z-PC.

Maybe you can apply the AIO before the polish?

Opps, I meant SFX-2 not ZFX (sorry about improper Zaino reference)

sfx2 is nice stuff to work with
just remember to put the sg on very thin multiple coats ensure uniform coverage
