I presume you've practiced with the G220 on a spare panel ? E.g. a bonnet from a scrap yard?

still waiting for it to be delivered. I have an old toyota celica so I cn try out different polish/pad combinations.

nice one

right...

snowfoam
2bw with mitt and SG shampoop, rinse & waffle dry (doesn't have to be perfectly dry)
clay
clay your alloys after your have clayed your paint, use a PH neutral cleaner on them and then use the PB WS on them
2bw or snowfoam again  
rinse and dry
megs cutting pad with menzerna cutting compound
megs polishing pad with menzera final finish polish
megs finishing pad with menzerna final finish polish (i am guessing that you have the three menzerna polishes in the kit? use them in the correct order - you'll have to look it up as two of them have the same name... its confusing)
PB black hole
CG JS109 - i love this stuff  
collinite 476 x 2
dress plastics clean windows etc
QD to remove any leftover polish/wax etc

admire your car

as the G220 isn't a rotary I wouldn't be too concerned... you'd have to go some in order to burn your paintwork using a DA - take it easy when you first use it though

EDIT:  I'd already frikin' typed this as Guy posted above, so I'm pressing post anyway!!   

My order would be:

1. Snow foam & rinse
2. Wash & Rinse
3. Clay with lube
4. Wash again and rinse
5. Dry
6. Polish with G220, finishing with a refining polish - remember you might not even need to use the harsher compounds at all unless its bad.
7. Black hole
8. Jetseal OR Collinite would be fine on their own, but if your a perfectionist 1xJetseal followed by 1xCollinite with 24hrs curing between the two.
9. Wheel sealant at any point after polishing.

thanks for the help guys.

Do you have to leave 24hrs between jetseal and wax, or can you give it an hour then apply?

at least we're giving out the same advice

personally I haven't before - but I can understand the logic behind this

All I know is that I once applied a second layer of collinite after about an hour or two and I definitely got tiny white-ish blemishes in the wax a few days later which I think is what the pros call "sweating". The marks buffed out again with QD no problem, but even so, I would now leave it longer than one hour.
