well I gave it a go today.
Jetwash
Snowfoam
rinse with jet wash
Iron X + rinse
2 bucket wash
Clay mitt (more detail on that below)
Rinse with jet wash
Hand dried
Cquartz DLUX on wheels and lower rear plastic
Cquartz uk on paint

I had issues with the clay mitt. Wasn't sure I was doing it right, I had a spray bottle with shampoo and the car was wet, but it left a couple of small marks on the paint on the roof. Probably down to my technique, so instead of making it worse I didn't carry on. The paint felt OK as it was a new car.
Will need to review the technique required

With the Quartz. It was a bit streaky on places, I think because I left it dry a big long before buffing, I was able to resolve it by adding another application and buffing that off. It's something I think I will get better at applying over time!

Oops forgot that I also added dilute Carpro reload as the final step

Just the interior and glass to go....
 
Looking good fella, good work
 
Great work. The only thing I'd change is not to rinse the car before you Snowfoam. The Snowfoam won't cling to the car and work as well if the cars already wet. Spray it onto a dry car. I've got the CarPro CquartzUK to apply to my next car. Using Reload undiluted just now on top of my normal wax and it's working well.

Looking Good Spooky.

Looking at doing exactly the same when mine turns up.
What you planning to do for the glass / interior?
