Default Few questions by detailing NEWB

My awesome wife is going to get me a PC for my b-day, and I've been doing a lot of research on autopia also. Just wanted to see what you guys think. I was going to use Lake country pads and the products and pad colors listed below. My 01 SS has some pretty bad swirls and just wanted to know it this is too many steps, or does it look ok.

Meguire's M105 with orange pad, then Menzerna Power Finish PO203 with white pad, then Menzerna Nano 106FA with gray pad, and finish it with Menzerna Finish Glaze 115CQ with gray pad.

Thanks in advance guys,
Austin

The above steps looks ok except you dont need to use the glaze,I usually go m105/orange pad, m205/white pad, and menzerna po8rd on black or grey pad and seal it but thats just me.

Those are great pads and those are great products.

I had a great link for another how-to with Megs 105/205 combo and LC pads on a DA. But here is a good pad comparision chart.
