Is this a good detail in your eyes?

So been looking to detail my car, I'm going to borrow my friends makita rotary to do the process. I've been looking around and was ready to make my purchase. I was wondering if this would be a good detail for my black G.

Steps:

1. Clay and wash before everything

2. My friend has some Meguiar Ultra Compound 105, will this be fine for the whole car? I'm planning on using Orange Lake County Pads. I have a few deep scratches and some swirls that I'm hoping to get out.

3. Following up with the Meguiar 205 polish seems like the best, so I'll be doing that. Planning on using the white pad.

4. Im leaning towards Zaino as my sealant. What pad should I be using for this sealant?

5. Finish!

How does this sound?

1) always
2) i personally only do the scratches and deeper swirls with the compound.
3) then go over everything with the polish.
4) i personally use poorboys ex sealant. i have heard good things about the zainos but i have never used it.

No problem with using compound on the whole car. In fact it cleans stuff off that normal washing and clay won't. Compound is amazing stuff.
