Perfect method fella, one thing i would add is maybe use meguiars #16 wax, its a very good wax (actually its zymol carbon as meguiars made it for them) but sold for about £15 instead of the rip off price zymol want.

Also i would demand the dealer does NOT prep the car, they will make a balls of the paint using brown water and a wrag, some of the dealer prep i have seen is quite remarkable
