Doesn't the clay process introduce some tiny areas that would require some polish, or is that what you are doing with the Meguiars compound?Ceramic and sealants must go straight onto the paint - not onto a wax or anything else......the better the condition of the paint surface, the better the ceramic / sealant will look. Given teh age of your car the paint probably could do with
1) Good wash
2) Decontamination
3) Clay (mitt or bar)
4) Polish (by polish I mean something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-G...91&hvtargid=pla-472610210811&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
5) Creamic / sealant / wax - your choice there are 100s available - IMO any reputable manufacturer will be fine
Loads of information on YouTube but you will get bored with all the "beading" and "sheeting" videos
