The Big Fall Detail (BFD)

I'm mentally preparing for my big day tomorrow. Right now the plan is:
  1. Wash w/P21s Total Wash (2 cups wash in 5 gallon bucket). Rinse.
  2. Clean tires and wheels, dry and dress.
  3. Clean engine bay w/Griot's Engine Degreaser. Rinse. Dress w/Engine Gloss.
  4. Clay w/ either 4-Star clay (got it on sale somewhere, figured it was worth a try) or Meguiar's blue clay, and Glide.
  5. Heavily coat trim w/some cheap dressing I'm trying to use up. Tape over stripes/decals.
  6. Polish w/Swirl and orange CCS pad. Please God let it only require one pass. The PC really is not fun on my bad elbow.
  7. Finish w/Amigo and white CCS pad. See above.
  8. Wax w/Epic, probably by hand because by then the elbow is usually making me homicidal.
  9. Clean windows w/Clarity and Aquapel them.
  10. Polish all metal w/NXT Metal Polish.
  11. Black WOW all exterior plastic.
  12. Vacuum interior.
  13. Clean interior glass w/Clarity
  14. PlastX lens faces.
  15. Nero all interior vinyl.
  16. Polish Whalen.
  17. Remove Epic haze w/Monster Fluffy.
  18. Have a martini.
Seems like I'm missing something...
