Any Tips - first run at polishing tomorrow

Going to be polishing up the green machine tomorrow to get out all the fine swirls from the prior owner/dealer cleanings. They are all fairly light swirls, but it'll make me feel better.

I'll be using a Porter Cable 7424 with a chemical guys blue pad (light polishing) and M205. The M105/205 combo seemed completely unnecessary since there are no deeper gouges in the paint at all, just light that can really only be seen in the correct lighting.

I plan on following up with Chemical Guys JetSeal sealant - heard a few good things about it from a friend, and topping it off with a 100% carnuba wax.

Process is going to be:
Rinseless Wash with ONR (love living in an apartment complex)
Clay Bar
M205 w/ blue pad
Rinseless Wash to clear off any polishing residue
Jet Seal (2 coats)
Carnuba

I have heard of some people taping stuff off, and others never mention it. What would I tape off? just window trim/door handles? Any specific angles or areas on the car you think should be marked off? Any other tips or tricks I should be aware of?
