If you look on meguiarsonline.com, most people prefer to use NXT (x2 12 hr apart) and then top with a carnuaba (#26).
I have done this in the past and found it is better to always use sealants and then carnuaba.
NXT Tech Wax actually has mild cleaners in it that can remove some of the #26 if you put it on first.

Alright Boss, I just want to run my process by you and see what you think:
- Begin by washing and follow with a clay bar
- Use polishing pad with Meguiar's #80
- Follow with Meguiar's #81
Ouestion: If I start with #80, would I need to use #9 afterwards before moving on to the final polishing stage with #81?
- Apply #26 wax
Question: Do I apply the wax by hand or with the polisher? If I use the polisher, do I use the polishing or finishing pad? Also, should I use a MF bonnet on the polisher to remove the wax, or simply remove it by hand?
- Follow with NXT
Question: Same as above.
- Wait 24 hrs and apply second coat of NXT
I really am sorry for bothering you with all these questions, Boss, but I just want to ensure that if I'm spending 8+hrs do detail my truck, it will be done the right way. Thanks in advance.

I would also use the NXT before #26....... other than that, your process looks good!
You shouldn't need to use #9 after #80 if you work it properly. It is a pretty forgiving product, so you shouldn't have problems.
You can apply #26 or NXT or #81 with the PC or by hand. If you use the PC, I would use a finishing pad at low speeds for anyone of the three. I prefer to appy the first coat of NXT with the PC and the second coat (or any subsequent coats) by hand.
If the bonnet is a quality bonnet, you certainly can use it to remove the #26 or NXT. You might need a couple of bonnet though.
No problem on the questions......... glad to help.
