One wash with Dawn to remove all old wax, so forth etc. I just clayed like 2 weeks ago so I am probably going to skip this step, I may wash 2 times just to be sure, anyway on to number 3 dry vehicle and use Meguiar`s Body Scrub, then 3M Finish Restorer, Meguiars #2 polish, then #7 glaze, then build up several layers of #26 yellow wax! Does anybody see anything wrong with this or have any recommendations? I am getting some Zaino stuff in a few weeks so should I do thos for now or should I just wash it and wait 2 weeks for the Zaino???? Please let me know if u see any flaws with doing this or if u have any recommendations! Thanks!

Dope, its all a matter of preference and technique.....
If your happy with your results, stick with them, take mental notes, then try some different products...Use your original results as a baseline and see if theres room for improvements elsewhere with those other products....Dont be afraid to buy other stuff, its all part of the learning curve.....
Just remenber, theres always a product that will meet your needs, and if there isnt, adjust your technique until your product works for you......

Will I be doing any damage by using the techniques described above or more or less the products described above?
I think between Body Scrub and Finish Restorer it`s a bit of a toss-up. Which is stronger? :nixweiss Try a section with each and see what you think. I know Body Scrub sounds tough, but remember that it is a retail consumer product...
Skip one of the Step 2 Polish (Deep Crystal stuff right?) or #7 - they are redundant.
If you have Zaino coming in 2 weeks though I`d just wait before starting polishing...
