Since I can't drive my truck...

Since I won't have my license for the next 15 days I figured I'd re-wax my truck since I screwed it up last time. Put Klaase SG on right after the AIO when I should of waited 24hours for the AIO to cure. I'm going to order a jar of the P21S Carnuba wax to go over the SG. I have a few questions though...

What's the coupon code for the 10% discount at autogeek.com? And how does this look for a waxing process.

Wash
Clay bar
Meguire's Polish
Klaase AIO
Sit a day to cure.
Klasse SG
Sit a day to cure.
P21S Carnuba

Do I have to wash inbetween steps as the truck won't be used at all? Or can I get away with using a quick detailer in between steps? What's good to use to do the engine bay? Finally, what's a good product to use to clean upholstry and carpets? I'd like to do a full interior detail from headliner to floor while I'm doing the outside. Might as well make my truck nice and squeaky clean for it's return to the driving world. :)

Edit:

I'd also like to purchase a PC 7424 Dual Action Polisher. What pads will I need? I'd like to first practice on my mother's 2001 Black Galant. The paint is in absolutely piss poor condition and there are actually several areas where the clear coat is literally coming off. Looks like it's oxidized very severly. I can post pictures when I get home tonight. It's BAD, really bad. I'm assuming I'll need some type of heavycut polish or compound. Any recomendations? Just post links from autogeek I guess.

Thanks.

"Autopia" is the code for Autogeek. But Autopia has a 15% discount right now with the SAVEBIG code. Autopias new store is this address http://sonus-usa.com/index.html

For fixing damaged paint use the 4" pads. On AutoGeek get PoorBoys SSR polishes and the 4" Lake Country pad kit and backing plate. On Autopia get the Sonus SwirlBuster and SFX polishes and Sonus SFX 4" pad kit. Or get the 6" SwirlBuster pad. Get a soft blue 6" pad for applying wax.

No need to wash in between steps if the truck is clean.

Get some PoorBoys Spray & Gloss if you order from AutoGeek. It's awesome stuff

Eagle One wheel & tire cleaner is great on tires and on the engine compartment.

Get some 303 Aerospace Protectant and some 303 Upholstry cleaner and a stiff brush. Use a foam applicator to put the 303 protectant on everything plastic and rubber.
