Sounds good enough. Personally unless your paintwork is in need of rejuvenation, you could skip most of that and just Wash, Rinse, Wash, Dry, Apply a Glaze, and top it off with a nice Wax .... but im guessing you have all that purchased and ready to use? in that case, go for it!! :)

sounds like youve got the idea apart from what way round the wax and sealent go, sealent should be applied before the wax as it your protection and if youve got a good sealent it should give you 6/12 months of protection, wax is for adding gloss and is your final layer of protectent, the wax will give way before your sealent will so waxing after sealent in theory will extend the durabilty of your sealent.

hope this helps.
