1. Wash

4. ?
5. Wax

Or can you go straight from SSR's to wax.

Thanks!

Depends on what SSR you are using...if its 2.5 you want to follow that with a lighter polish like SSR1...if its just the light polish them no...as for what you can do after polishing...a glaze is real nice...add's POP to the paint and can fill in any minor swirls that are left...PB black hole or white diamond would be good at this point...then wax away

Instead of "Black Hole" could i use something like one of these:

Poorboys Polish with Carnauba
Poorboys Polish with Carnauba Blue
Poorboys Professional Polish
Poorboys World Polish with Sealant

This is the site that I am buying a lot of stuff from, and I wanted to get it all in one place, but they don't have "Black Hole" thanks!

FWIW, The Detail City Store has most of those same products priced about 10% less and you also get another 10% discount for being a Detail City member.
And you will be buying from a vendor that supports the forum.

The AIOs do a decent job, but they won't always give you the results you are looking for.
Some of them are said to have 3 months durability, but since I follow them with a LSP, I can't vouch for that.
Two products that I have used that can do some paint correction and cleaning while leaving some protection behind are Poorboy's PwS and Optimum Poli-Seal.
Some professional detailers use the AIO products for customers that don't want or can't afford the full package.
I see nothing wrong with that as long as you don't misrepresent the service you provide.

yeah im looking for the fewest polishes to buy as im currently not going to be "running through" a ton of it so I have no need to buy multiple bottles of different grade polishes, at the very most I would like to do two step methods polish then go to the wax

if i have to absolutely throw in a third step and second polishing stage then ill get to that point and then buy the heavy cut compounds or a lighter finishing polish as needed, but would like a recommendation for somthing in the middle that would work for roughly 60-70% of most paint conditions

I've read on a lot of places that you are supposed to follow it with SSR1 to remove hazing and stuff.

The 2.5 will leave some hazing so that's why I suggested the SSR1 after
