Good plan Quintin... flip the NXT and 16/26 as was recommended... you'll want the carnauba as your last step. I'd go by hand...

Thanks for calling. I'm not able to come to my AOL IM right now so, at the sound of the tone, if you'll leave your name, number and a VERY brief message, I'll get back to you sometime within the next 45.90 years.

*BEEP*

Gary, RP, will do. I'll save the #16 or #26 for last.

Another question though, I've got some pretty heavy water spotting, will #9 tend to this as well? Or do I need another product? I've got the first two steps of the Meguiar's 3 step kit, the cleaner and polish, what about those?

#9 certainly can't hurt on those areas. How 'water spotted' are we talking here? Etching or just some spots that are light?

They don't come out with a QD spray or after washing, if that's any indication.

Here's where I stand:

I just took all of these after a pretty hard rain, so the panels are dirty, that may exaggerate some problems:

There's my tailgate, notice the swirls and spiderwebbing.

I think this was from the roof, more swirls and spiderwebbing, and the water spots.
