Prepping/Maintaining a Black Porsche - BIG ORDER!

After a lot of reading, ive narrowed it down to this process for prepping/maintaining a non-metallic black Cayman S. Thing is I need to order the products (mostly from autogeek and some from pakshak) and have them delivered by a friend before the car is delivered. I thus need to order EVERYTHING Ill be needing at once! So hopefully u guys can tell me if im ordering anything unnecessary or replaceable by another product.

Products are:

Polishing:
Menzerna 106FF and IP
6.5" CCS Pads

Glaze:
Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze
Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze

Waxing/Sealing:
Optimum Opti-Seal
Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax

QD:
Clearkote Quik Shine

Claying/Washing/Drying:
Stoner Invisible Glass
Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine
Optimum Car Wash
Clay Magic
Various cobra MF towels
Optimum Tire Shine
EuroW Sheepskin Mitts
White and Black Shmitts

Tools:
Porter Cable 7424 with 5" backing plate
6.5" CCS Pads (do i need 4" as well, just in case?)

Interior:
Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer
Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Combo
3 Pack Blue Microfiber Pad

Prepping Process:
Wash
Clay
Wash
Menzerna 106FF on White 6.5" CCS Pad using a Porter Cable
Vanilla Moose
RMG
Pinnacle Souveran (wait 24 hours)
Optiseal

Am I good to go?

The Cayman is a nice looking car. 4" pads are nice for tight hard to get to places.

I meant to introduce myself but couldnt find a special section for it! :P

Ive been reading these forums for a while after doing lots of thorough browsing on autogeek.net, my recent obsession with detailing started around 6 months ago when I was looking forward to buying a solid black Porsche Cayman S. With lots of people making a fuss on the horrors of black paint, I looked into detailing and after a bit of reading I fell in love! I thus plan to order some products and practice a bit until the car hopefully arrives in September or October.. This forum looks like a small and friendly community,
so I guess ill be sticking around here for a long while :P

Cheers

I think the two glazes are slightly redundant, but otherwise some sound design.

VMG=hand polishing, RMG=machine polishing

Welcome to the addiction, first of all that is a fine, fine vehicle you purchased. Congrats on the the purcahse.

Sounds like you have done your home work my friend, well done. You will find the 106FF to be a good product and the Optimum line up is good too.

So looking forward to your pictures of your new baby.

Thank you ... I cant wait till the car arrives myself! hopefully I can spend sometime acquiring some detailing skills, before I get to touch the car :P.. Should also be a good way to kill time!

What do you guys use as a wheel sealant? can optiseal protect the wheels for long?

Duragloss #101 and after each wash use DG #951 to keep the gloss and protection up.

We used to run some Porsches, still have our SC for track. Heard from one of the guys that somebody was dropping in a modded GT3 engine into his Cayman.....should be a fun car LOL.
