Things don't add up here:
4-6 hours of work guesstimated
1 friend
1 Twelve pack
I suggest:
More beer, more time, more friends
More friends mean more beer, more BS and less work done
You need a whole weekend (and more beer because there is no acceptable reason for de-hydration on this forum).)

Thanks for sending the sticky a few days ago. A+ grade for you. Concise with crisp recommendations on what products to use really helps know what to use. Any chance on discussing what other slightly less quality products would be acceptable to newbies like me to use as we climb up the learning curve?

Bonus, are you doing to do this by hand?
This is what I would do if you are going to do on Sat.
Hit your local AutoZone and pick up the Megs Clay kit. Buy an extra bottle of Megs Quick Detailer.
In addition, buy some MF applicators (Microfiber) and some MF towels.
Get the Megs 3 step products there.
Process:
Wash (two bucket method process if you can)
Dry
Clay
Work on problem areas
Polish
Wax.
When you buy a DA, this changes everthing.
If you are doing this in like a week or two let us know that and we'll get list built up for you to buy from ADS etc.

Also, for washing use a good quality car wash (Meguiar's crystal car wash, for example), and a good sponge. Do the two bucket method also. One bucket with soapy water, and the other with clean water for rinsing the sponge so you don't put dirt right back into the soapy water. Never use regular dish soap either, unless you want to take off all the wax.
