Best way to do this, and is this the 'good' stuff?

[brakedust]

Right... Starting to learn more about detailing etc as this is all very new to me, I used to just wash with 1 bucket, sham leather dry and SRP and think that I had done all I could.

I just got myself some Menzerna Final Finish, is this good stuff? seems to get good reviews on the net. How do you apply? Is usual polishing cloth ok to put it on and buff it off? And any top tips using this?
I'm going to have another go doing my car on Friday (weather permitting) as I used to much auto-balm as i got far to much 'dragging?' and did the full car then buffed off (i now know that's not the way to do it, ie 2ft sq max at a time)

So how do I start again? I was thinking -

Auto Glym shampoo - as i have loads
Menzerna Final Finish - just purchased, should be here tomorrow
Auto-balm finnish (is it worth doing 2 coats?)

Anythink that people would add or take out?

Are you planning on removing some swirls that the AB couldn't mask, with the Menzerna?
You'd be better with a proper hand polishing pad - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/lake-count... for example.
Menz FF is a light abrasive, and will need worked quite a bit by hand to get the best from it - but it'll depend on how deep the defects are.
