waxing vs polishing? and on a new car??

OK, I'm by far a detailing newbie and I'm VERY overwhelmed with the MINI detailing process. I've had various cars in the past 15+ years of driving and I've never paid that much attention to keeping them in tip-top shape.

Now reading this forum I'm petrified ;)

I just dumped a good $140+ on Griots cleaners along misc tools.

I did NOT buy a polish or wax yet (is there a difference)?? I'm confused about waxing, polishing, claying etc, etc a NEW car....is it really necessary? Think I've waxed twice in my lifetime! My husband thinks I'm super crazy for being this attentive to the board and all the detailing advice.

I do see those "swirls" everyone is talking about in my blue paint...wouldn't have noticed if I didn't read these threads!! Now its really bugging me. My car gets dusty and it irritates me...it almost makesenjoying this new car a buzzkill. I'm just so anal over it not having a speck on it now.

So, thoughts, guidance...I just can't think straight after reading post after post of whats the "proper" way to detail my new MINI. I'm spinning here (plus running out of money bigtime)!

ONE other ? I have is with the Prima products...figured I would eventually polish then wax (or other way around?) with them. What order do I need to go in...and what Prima products? Amigo then Epic?
