I personally don't jet wash before a snow foam, allows the foam to cling for longer.
I would wash after you clay rather than a jet wash. And also after your AG SRP, both times just to ensure you've fully cleared the car of any residue.
What're you using to dry the car?
For the engine bay, have a look at a guide I made buddy! :y:

Get some Poorboys all in one polish bit better than AG SRP :)

Fair enough Vince!
See you on the 12th!
SRP will do you if you've got plenty of it. It isn't awful stuff, it's got a quite a lot of filling properties from what i've read and is fairly decent at covering up swirls...
Not to say that your swirls will be gone though. But one chap on DW acheived fairly decent swirl removal with it by hand but it was a lot of hard work... Probably not worth it tbh lol.

yeah i know bud i really dont want to use it but i cant waste it lol, im one of those people where if i can somthing 30p cheaper im allready there lol, so wasting 2 btls or srp and a 500ml bottle is somthing i could not so, was looking at getting some chemicle guys all in 1 polish or the poorboys super swirl remover 2.5
SSR2.5 is very hard to apply and remove imo. It also needs other polishes to go with it ideally. Not just using it on it's own.
I've got plenty of spare SRP and use it on my wheels. Then seal it with FK1000P (used that for the first time last night, very happy with it, something for you to consider in the future :) )
