Dawn wash is not necessary, any car wash will do and do a better job at that! I would go ahead and hit it with PI-II because SMR is nothing but fillers. PI-II isn`t abrasive enough that you need to worry.

^^^ What Greg said.



Just be carefull no to introduce new swirls on all those 50/50 wipes. If you work well the product, no need for that.

Skip the SMR - nothing but fillers. I`d hit it with the heavier polish. I`d use a glaze after the polish and before the NXT. It`ll look awesome!



On a side note, I like Meguiars Speed Glaze and an orange pad for light swirls that you show.



Or, if you have, Menzerna Intensive Polish with a compound pad, that`ll work nice



I don`t like any 50/50 wipe. If you use the right product, pad combo and technique, you shouldn`t really need it.
