Tomorrow I will be using my GG DA polisher for the first time! I'll be using a lot of new products, so I wanted to make sure I'm using them appropriately. Apologies in advance for any weird phrasing/typos my job is melting my brain at the moment.
Any advice or suggestions to speed up the process would be greatly appreciated.

(A) 2006 Honda Accord Grey (Two Stage Paint).
(B) 2018 RAV4 Metallic Grey

2. CG All Clean APC (or HondaBrite)
3. Wash (Mixture of CG HoneyDew + RainX car wash at high concentration for maximum lube)
3.a) Short & Long Handle Wheel Brush - Tire & Wheel Brushes (https://www.autogeek.net/tiwhbr.html)

4. CarPro IronX
4. Clay Rims

end;
Question 1 : What is the best way to clean the barrel without a wheel woolie?
[2]
Paint Decontamination: A,B,C,D (all)
1. Cheap Garden Pump Foam Sprayer (CG HoneyDew)
2. Hand Wash ( CG Glossworkz + ONR )
3. Dry Me a River + Platinum Pluffle
4. CarPro IronX
5. GG Synthetic Clay + GG Speedshine on Paint
end;
Question 2 : How much ONR should I add to each bucket?
[3]
Wheels & Windows: A, B, C, D (all)
1. Collinite #845 on rims
2. Clay Windows
3. Spray Away Window Cleaner
4. Clay Headlights (? - Would this be appropriate?)
end;
Question 3 : Should I apply Wax or SG to the windshield? I've heard Klasse AIO can be used for glass as well.
[4]
Paint Correction: A
GG DA 6 inch w/6.5, 5, & 3.5 in backings.
1. BF Compound for trouble spots w/LC CCS 5.5 Orange pad x1 (n=3)
2. GG BOSS Perfecting Cream w/LC CCS 6.5 White pads x2 (n=2) or 6.5 Green pads x3 (n=3)
3. Klasse AIO w/LC CCS 5.5 Blue Smart pads original style x6 (n=6)
4. Klasse SG by Hand w/Pinnacle Crystal Mist QD (Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze (KSG) Guide and Review | Ask a Pro Blog (https://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/klasse-high-gloss-sealant-glaze-ksg-guide-and-review/))
5. Klasse SG second coat same process as step 4.
end;
Question 4: This is the step I am most concerned about. Especially because I only have 3 orange correcting pads, 2 white polishing pads, and 3 green polishing/finishing pads. The vehicle is garage kept but has not been washed in over 10 years.

Waxing_1: B, C
1. Collinite #845 w/ GG 6.5 Red Pad (n=1) & Hybrid Power Finish Black (n=6)
Waxing_2: D
1. Pinnacle Souveran Paste w/ Hybrid Power Finish Red (n=6)
end;
Misc Products on hand but not discussed:
GG Best of Show Wax
CG Leather Cleaner
CG Leather Conditioner
Turtle Wax Dash & Glass (lol - maybe the Subaru will get this...)
GG Interior Cleaner (n=3)
GG Interior Detailer (n=1)
Autozone Quality Microfiber Towels (n=24)
Home depot Quality Glass Diamond Weave Towels (n=4)
EAGLE EDGELESS 500 16 X 16 MICROFIBER TOWEL (n=5)
DIAMOND 16 X 16 MICROFIBER GLASS TOWEL (n=1)
PREMIUM KOREAN 3 X 5 EAGLE MICROFIBER DETAILING APPLICATOR SPONGE PAD (n=2)
SPECTRUM 420 16 X 16 DUAL-PILE MICROFIBER TOWEL (n=5)
Generic microfiber circular blue pad applicators (n=12)
Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber (n=2)
Poly Foam Wax Applicator Pad (n=1)
Microfiber All Purpose & Wheel Detailing Towel, 16 x 27 inches (n=2)
MISC: Eventually the Porsche will get a polishing, I'm just trying to decide if I want to do Menzerna then Klasse twins or what, the Porsche is mine so it gets special treatment - aka, I have more research to do on the subject. The RAV4 will eventually get Klasse Twins topped with #845 once I figure out the clear coat on it. It looks like there something layered over the clear coat, or that the clear coat doesn't extend to the edges of the body panels.
Any advice or suggestions to speed up the process would be greatly appreciated.
