Polishing/sealing of a VW Passat B8 (Deep Black Pearl Effect) – a few beginner questions

Hi, I have a VW Passat B8 in Deep Black Pearl Effect (EZ 10/2017). I used to work in a VW car dealership (office), where I often polished my cars with a rotation machine with Meguiar’s Diamond Cut Compound 2.0 (I mean the pad was lambskin). No big tear, car washed by hand, no glued off, Liquid Glass used pre-cleaner, polished with above mentioned polish and rotary machine, then “sealed” with liquid glass by hand. Now I see that the topic So I wanted to ask a few questions. I own a T3000 CPS (from 2013 – unfortunately never used) and wanted to order the following: Knet contact spray/gliding agent: Optimum No rinse Wash & Shine (for mixing) Knead: Petzoldt’s Magic Clean Blue (mild) 100 g Polish: Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2500 (formerly PF2500) Finish: Menzerna Super Finish 3500 (formerly SF4000) Control cleaner/isopropyl alcohol: Isopropyl alcohol 1:1 distilled water Protec 1. Which microfibre cloths for which step? 2. Which pads for which step? 3. Does bee coke go through kneading? 4. Do you also have to “knead” the side skirts? 5. How long does a pad hold? 6. Does the bumper have to be polished by hand (plastic/heat development)? 7. Do you still have to glue the corners of the body parts and plastic parts? If so, which tape do you recommend? Thank you for your attention. Time and effort.
