Default First detail

So, I picked up a new 15 A5 in May, and have been maintaining it with bi-weekly two bucket washes and bi-monthly traditional hand washes with high quality car shampoo, microfiber towels, and spot cleaning with quick Detailer's--all mostly chemical guys products. And it looks stunning in the shade, but within a few feet in sunlight, I can see super-micro swirls. And it bugs me. It's brilliant black, so I guess that's par for the course. Anyway I'm about to do a major detail. Planning on a wash, clay bar, polish, JetSeal, and wax. I have a torx da polisher to help with this day long chore. Do I have it right? Any tips?

clay bar will straighten out any paint irregularities.
