Think I've finalized my list, advice??
Although I've always taken meticulous care of my car and it's paint I was a student and was a Meguiars / Mothers "lower end" detailing product user. Now I want to change that and use quality stuff and have been trying to decide my lineup for the last few weeks. Here's what I have it down to, please let me know if I'm missing anything, have something I don't need or should go another direction in any category. Car is an Estoril Blue M3:
Wash: PoorBoys SS&S or Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss (not sure yet) Clay: Pinnacle Ultra Poly and Lubricant Polish (Abrasive): Menzerna FPII or PO85RD (paint is in amazing shape, is this necessary before the AIO??) Polish (Chemical): Klasse AIO Glaze: ClearKote Red Moose Glaze Sealant: Klasse SG Wax: PoorBoys Natty Blue (but also considering P21S Councours Carnuba) Rubber/Seals: 303 Aerospace Protectant Any help or advice sould be great. Thanks.

Spend more time polishing - that is what's really responsable for how your paint looks.
I assume you have a pc? After AIO skip the rmg if you are putting sg on top. Can top sg with natty's.

list looks good so far but believe me it will not stop there lol i invested over 1000 in detailing in about a month. of course im doing it professionally so i have a lot more products, but I would recommend Nattys Blue, Chemical Guys Maxi Suds instead of the wash and gloss, some glass cleaner, and some dressing for your tires.
If you dont mind spending a little extra I recommend looking at Chemical Guys and their products. I have many products from them and I have not been disappointed by a single one. PoorBoys is also a good brand for a good price. Not sure if you have some but you should get some high quality micro fiber towels to buff off wax and sealants, as well as some cheap ones to use on wheels, and other parts

You should probably buy the Meguiar's 105/205 "MAGIC" combo for paint correction. Some folks are getting perfect, LSP-ready finishes using 105 on some pads. Following up with 205 for the stuff that doesn't quite finish out right, but as of now, Meguiar's 105 and 205 are the best go-to products available for correction work. The rest of your list looks good though.

good list so far. stick with the CG wash and gloss. def P085 before aio, skip the moose glaze as sg has glaze fillers in it. if you are going to go above nattys for an lsp i would reccomend DODO Juice. also look at some wheel sealant like PB Wheel Sealant. +1 on onr for clay lube. onr is one of the most versatile products availabe, and so is 303.
