I drive a 2004 Arctic Blue Pearl RSX. I am totally anal about my car(lol). I have always thought I knew what I was doing and I think I still do! LOL. Anyways I just purchsed the Pinnacle-Wolfgang Kit from this great site. I forgot to orded pads for my orbital. The car usually gets waxed 3-4 times a year. I have never clayed it. I haved, and will be using my orbital on it again once I order some CCS Pads!
I am wondering if I should:
1) clay, swirl remove, paintwork polish enhancer, deep gloss paint sealant, then souveran?
2) polish, seal, then souveran?

I was only going to do #2. I just would hate to go through all the steps if it wasnt necessary.Tough question due to no pics, but just hoping for some suggestions.

"I am pretty anal about my car". Change that to "totally anal..." and do #1. Seriously though, if the car has never been clayed, you need to clay it. So if you don't feel like doing #1, do -
3) wash, clay, polish, seal, wax

Thanks fellas. I actually just had one side of the car repainted thanks to a guy running a red and hitting me. I think I am going to 2500 wet sand the entire car. What should I use for a polish. Would it be safe to use the Menzerna SIP, then go to the WG Polish Enhancer, then WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, then Souveran? Or is there a step I should add or skip?

You said you were only going to polish and wax and now your are going to wet sand the entire car? Thats a huge difference. Hope you know what you are doing. Good Luck!
