Boza,
In principle your steps are correct. Have a read of this thread - it should help you to understand the order of how things should be done! http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=37320 The Mothers Carnauba Wax is fine for a wax - make sure to give it two coats for maximum durability. After buffing off the first coat, give it at least an hour or so for the wax to cure, before applying the second coat. This will prolong the life of your wax.

depending on condition of your paint, step 3 "polish", could be 2 or 3 steps in itself. Cutting/cleaning polish, Swirl Remover, Final Finish can all be done before the wax, if required
