I don't find eraser to be completely necessary unless you're using a very oily polish... Can you use it before reload? Certainly! You can use it before any type of LSP if you really want to.

Oops, forgot to mention that... ragtopp was used to clean the top, and 303 fabric protectant was used afterwards.

Yep, but I've not had any issues with applying any sort of non-coating immediately after polishing. Heck, I've even tested a variety of coatings on my car without a solvent wipe down, and they still shed water 12+ months later.
I use an small amount of M205 on an unprimed pad when polishing. The residue left is minimal. Not a concern in this case for me.

Nope, no need to erase before using reload.

Congrats on the new space. I always enjoy reading about your work. Those b&w shots look beautiful, as does the finished car.

Traditioanl waxes and sealants don't require a solvent wipe prior to applying. Solvent wiping prior to applying a LSP is a relatively new step in the process that was brought along with the growing coating industry.
IPA or other solvents were typically used more for inspecting your correction results to validate your testing, but not necessarily for stripping the entire car prior to waxing.

Great job! I'm planning to use a similar regimen on my SL550 this morning. Curious about the Megs D300 though, can't seem to find that product -- is it like the M105?
