Looks good. Two questions: what brand of pads (and orbital buffer) are you using and by Meguiars scratch remover do you mean scratch-x or swirl remover? (I am not very familiar with their products).

Another thing is if you're going to be using a carnauba wax and a sealant, it's best to use the sealant first and then the carnauba (since the sealant will last longer and if the carnauba breaks down under the sealant it will collapse), but I prefer to not use a sealant and just use a carnauba. It may be a better idea to apply the LSP (wax or sealant) by hand than by machine, but whatever works for you as long as the pad is non-abrasive. Also make sure you're waiting a few hours in between coats.

BTW, what do you mean by finish off with blue pad?
