Wash the car with the with 2 buckets, and lambswool washmitt
(NOT SPONGE)
bucket 1, full warm water and car shampoo
bucket 2, full warm clean water.
Wash the car as usual but always clean your mitt in bucket 2 to remove dirt/grit before using bucket 1 again. This ensures that the crap you take off the car stays off and you dont contaminate your shampoo water or scratch your car with grit you've just removed.
Dry the car with Waffle weave towel not a chamois. A chamois can scratch the car.
The Waffle towel will dry the car in a fraction of the time too
Id first use the Vanilla moose glaze, althought it says glaze its actually a fine polish that will remove old wax and any slight imperfections on the surface.
Put this on with a foam aplicator and remove with microfibre cloth.
Then if youre gonna use the Megs #7 apply that in the same way. This is actually a glaze. A glaze nourishes the paint and replaces oils that you have just removed and makes the paint deeper and richer once waxed. Think of it as you washing your hands with swarfega which cleans em real good but drys em out, this is your moisturiser to soften em up again.
Finally use the Tech Wax. IMO id say that the Nattys was better. Do it with the Tech wax first and see waht you think. You could always get some poorboys EX-P sealant and Nattys at a later date to make it even glossier.
Let me know how you get on

Ive started off with #7 & #16
Will see what results that gives. Yep I also got some towels
I was very impressed with Megs NX Wax so thought I'd stick to megs for now and see what results I get.
After that I'll try some of the other products

I have got the bug now! 
Looks like I will have to break out my Swissol stuff. Hardly used it since I bought it!
Have to admit, the few times I have used it, the car came up amazing!

Confession time:
When I took all the old graphics off my car, I thoroughy washed it, rubbed in some coconut oil (well Meguiars bug and tar remover, to remove the old graphics residue- it smells like coconut oil) into the paintwork, washed it again, then gave it a damn good coat of polish then put the new graphics on, next day, washed it again, and put a coat of Mequiars quik detailer on.

The best thing for getting glue of from the graphics is whightning chalk just put some on a cloth mix in some sopy water gently rub over the area & let it dry out a bit then just simply rub off. no more hard rubbing & bobbles of glue also it does'nt attack your paint work. when it drys it simply pulls the glue off.
