New car, black paint, need new stuff... hand polish friendly - lots of Q's for pro's! - Saxperience

I have gone from icelandic to black and just had the car paint corrected. when it was paint corrected a rotary was used with mezerna polish then lime prime then poorboys black hole then dodo juice super natural.

since i dont own a machine polisher i wondered what would be best to use to keep on top of the paintwork in about 4/5months time, i thought of a sorta list...

wash with chem guys wash and wax
Polish 1 - AG SRP, what applicator??
Polish 2 - Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish, what applicator??
Glaze - Poorboys Black Hole (can dodo juice lime prime lite be used as a glaze? or can it be used after a glaze???), what applicator??
Seal - Dodo juice tropical mist
Wax - Chem Guys XXX Wax/Collinite (the one in the old looking pot)

would they be a good selection or would the AG SRP be able to be replaced with a polish that removes rather than fills light swirls? is there a better glaze than black hole for black cars? should i replace the final wax with something like dodo juice purple haze/rainforest rub?

What sort of applicator should i use for the 2 polishing stages then the glaze? any links?

Also dodo juice lime prime... where would that fit into the process, is it required? or is it to be used only when doin a quick clean, so wash, lime prime, red mist, wax. or should it be used before the glaze or after? so confusing!

tbh if you keep waxing the car say every month or every 2 weeks you shouldnt need to polish it again

just clay it once a year and keep on top of the wax

hmmm could i not still apply a glaze designed for a dark colour to give it that little bit extra pop.

Glaze will strip the wax bud, just keep applying red mist after every wash. Thread will be up soon on your car

Lime prime will strip wax also, as it's a pre wax cleanser, just keep applying red mist and it'll be fine

looks great still after washing the car bud
