Car Detail Plan

I have a Cayenne coming shortly maybe this weekend paperwork permitting I've had a fairly long wait in general.

In this time I have managed to accumulate a decent collection of detailing product and enough time to consider my options so I have a couple, not looking to buy anymore things my plan is below, don't think I've missed anything.

I am leaning towards the sealant route as I've not done a whole car in sealant before and am curious and can compare to the Countryman that is wax'd shown below.

My goal is to have an easily maintainable bodywork that looks nice and shiny, and to use Nanolex Reactivating Shampoo as part of the maintenance maybe with some Project32 every now and then.

Paint Work
Snow Foam
Rinse
2 bucket wash
Rinse
Iron-X
Rinse
Clay with a QD
Sealant Option Eraser or non-Sealant option Primo Amigo
Sealant Option Nanolex Ultra Paint Sealant or non-sealant option Zymol Vintage
Allow to cure and finish with a spray of Project32 (this might not be needed)

Wheels
Rinse
Iron-X
Rinse
2 coats of PB Wheel Seal

Windows
Snow Foam
Rinse
Dodo Juice Supernatural Glass Polish
Eraser
Nanolex Ultra Glass Sealant - Front Screen, drivers and passenger side
Nanolex Urban Glass Sealant - Mirrors, Rear and Rear Side Screens

Interior
Hoover
AG Vinyl and Plastic Cleaner for plastics - if needed
Dr Leather Wipes for leather - don't think this will be needed
Interior Glass with Megiuars NXT Glass Cleaner and Dodo Juice Supernatural Glass Polish

External
Black non-painted Trim - Nanolex Trim Rejuvenator or AD Tyre and Trim Gel (Undecided here)
Tyres - AD Tyre and Trim Gel or Zymol Tyre (if it hasn't run out)
Silver Bits including door sills - Britemax Metal Twins

Really looking forward to doing this now I have listed it out, and suspect that it will be a bank holiday task, so it's ready for Laon.

if the leather is a light colour would recommend cleaning and then use a protector.If it is a light colour and you wear denim jeans it is vital you protect on a regular basis to stop jean dye transfer.
Also Cayenes seems to suffer the same on the rear of the seat from leather dye coming out of belts.

Gone for a dark leather as I do mountain biking didn't think a light leather would be very practical :)
