Trying to get this process down

The more I read and study these forums the more I realize I didn't know much about detailing. Ok let me run this by everyone - 1997 white Grand Prix needs some TLC (some blemishes and swirles).

Wash
Use Clay bar (brand unsure - saw some Megiures at Wal Mart for $10.00)
PB White Diamond
Duragolss 105 or maybe Natty's Past Wax (Red) -Are these both considered LSP's
Spray down with some DG AW

Does this make sense is anything there going to cancel any particular process out? Is there a better alternative or an additional process that will help with the end shine? Hopefully I am catching on to the process here.
 
The Duragloos is a one-step and is not the best choice to go over a glaze like White Diamond.

Most clay bars are comparable and yes you should start with claying after the wash.

Then it's a matter of what the finish needs. Not all cars need the same process. I'm assuming you aren't using a machine so a product like White Diamond is probably a good start but understand it is meant to remove very little if any marring or swirls. It will however cover some up like make-up. Then follow with a true LSP (no cleaners or abrasives). The Natty's Red is the way to go if your two stepping starting with White Diamond.

The AW afterward is icing on the cake. I don't believe it is necessary but you might find that it works well for you.
