Getting set up, I`ve done my research, direction and what am I missing?

First off, excited to get started here and detailing in general. I`ve decided I want to take active interest in keeping our cars in well above average condition, but also have modest expectations as the current fleet are daily drivers that reside outside while at work or away from home.

We we have a black 2012 mustang GT and a white 2007 trailblazer SS.

Here he is a list of items that I think I want to proceed with. I am most familiar with Adam`s products and will use my current inventory up.

Here goes.

GG 6" with a Meg`s 105-2015 setup. Both cars are swirled and need correction. Not looking to make them perfect, just way above average.

Decon will be a Carpro poly shave block and iron x

ONR will be used for lube, WW, and RW.... Open to other ideas here.

Hydro 2 - I`m a little hesitant as I will doing this in my driveway in the wee hours or late evening to avoid sun.

Maybe use Adam`s new wet sealant product or the the occasional spray wax as a topper/maintenance item?

i want to keep this very simple, economical, and most importantly easy and time sensitive.

What at did I miss or should consider?

Welcome to Autopia. I think you`re on your way! I (and others) could recommend hundreds of products as we all `love the ones we`re with`. But the truth is that applied carefully, many/all of the product offerings today do a pretty good job. There are a couple of caveats. A last step product (LSP) can only shine it`s best when the paint is in good condition. So cleaned, clayed and sometimes polished is needed to produce the best appearance.
For the LSP, it can be a choice between shine and durability. A Carnuba wax may produce the best shine while polymer polishes, sealants and coatings provide the best durability. In any case, a well protected paint makes routine maintenance (washing) easier as stuff just doesn`t stick as easily. I`ve noticed (with my layers of Duragloss sealant and Aquawax) that I seem to get a free wash whenever it rains!

Good luck and keep posting!
