Default Wine Kit Question

The kit that I am currently making says to add the sorbate and
metabisulfite on Day 18 when the specific gravity is .995 or less.
Right now the gravity is 1.002 and it is still bubbling quite a bit.
Should I just wait untill the bubbling subsides? It's also very
cloudy yet and I think that is because of all the activity going on
inside. Once it gets closer to .995 will the bubbling
die down? When I do rack it should I add metabisulfite before each
racking to the new carboy? Since it is a 4 week kit it moves things
along pretty fast and I don't want to over rush the wine into
something that isn't drinkable. I have read many different processes
and I'm just trying to see which ones work best or if it's a whatever
works kind of thing.

Thanks,
Joe
