Polishing questions

OK, have my new PC and the DP polish bundle. Paint still looks pretty good so I figure Amigo is all I need to really bring out the shine. Finish maybe?

I suspect the order is:

Wash...clay...wash, dry and tape (tape won't stick to a dry car?)...Amigo...Epic (Does Finish go in here somewhere?)

Question about my stripes. I have the OEM stripes with pin-striping. I've been cautioned that while clay can help clean the stripes it can remove the Pin-striping, so I suspect that polishing will as well. Does polish hurt the stripe itself? Do I tape the edges and avoid the stripes altogether? Do I put epic on right after the Amigo or do I need to wash (again) between?
