Got the following products, getting a new car and not sure what order to use them in, or the best combo, all my stuff is from a few years back and hardly bother polishing or waxing corrado these days.
Am thinking of this order, feel free to tell me if i shouldn't bother with products or a best alternative.
Snow foam
Blast off with water
Wash by hand as normal
IronX all over car
Wash off
Clay bar
Wash off
Dodo Lime prime
Machine polish (merzerna)
Autogylm Super resin polish
Autogylm extra gloss protection
Collinite 915 wax
Seems quite an order, is IronX the same as a TFR? Want to totally strip the car of any wax etc

As mwg said, you need £40 buckets else it isn't worth bothering.

Wouldn't bother with the lime prime before the polish jim.
Get rid of the AG SRP and AG EGP and use lime prime instead.
Then wax.
Also ironX isn't like tfr atall. Iron x is a iron particle remover. It might strip off the previous wax/protection depending on what it is that's on there. If not then the polishing will get rid of any that is left on there anyways.

I've got to wait two weeks. Such a rare car the dealers won't let it go until they have another one in to show people.
Not sure what to do with corrado. Will be keeping it. That's all I've planned so far. Probably still do the new engine. Standard suspension. Vinyl wrap. Tempted to get some different wheels for a change.

I was planning lime prime as the cleanser although I guess srp does that. Srp as a filler. Then the egr as the sealant.
Only used iron x on wheels. Seems quite a harsh product I've been too worried about putting it on the car. Seems to make a mess of the tyres.

if you want to strip off any previous wax/polish/sealant etc stick a capful of fairy liquid or TFR into the first snowfoam covering will do the job nicely

I've only ever been a one bucket man. One bucket for the whole car.
Did try two buckets but got fed up with it and figured I get more use from the other products if I swirl it up nice.

Normally wash it then put soap on it then rinse it off, any black sticky shit normally comes off with thinners
