What's a better option when that time comes? I especially don't want issues leading up to the ceramic.
For now, I did the Menzerna Powerlock. Did clay the whole car, but only did a mild polish on the hood and rockers. It was killing me putting sealant on it without doing more corrections, but I...
Craigdt & Rsurfer are both correct. I over think pretty much everything. Was just afraid of either added difficulty on the soon correction, or that a recent sealant would cause issues or contamination for the soon polishing step.
Going Menzerna sealant. This way if 6 weeks becomes 8 weeks it's...
Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. For 6 weeks, I definitely want a lot more than a spray or quick detailer can offer. But I guess if both wax and sealant are going to be an issue, I might as well do sealant for now for the better protection.
When ceramic time comes, I already picked up Carpro...
So the presence of a semi-recent sealant won't contaminate or hinder the polish I use in a few weeks?
Main trigger for this was a recent bird dropping that etched a bit. So not only did I need to spot correct that, but I know it would not have been as bad with a recent sealant..
It's likely 6 weeks, and I have a vacation I will be driving for. And it's summer. So I really want the look as well as water shed & protection. So a wax would be best? I have products, so I am not planning on buying anything for this, just using stuff on hand. It would either be Pinnacle...
So, I finally bought everything to do a ceramic coating, but I will not have time for a month or two. So today, I am just doing a "hold me over" detail and need advice on which protectant- Wax or Sealant?
For today I am just doing a wash, clay, and maybe a quick 1 step correction on a couple of...
Correct. And I'm more looking for a sealer than a dressing, since the dressing tends to wear off and is only temporary. Looking for something I can rub in and seal the surface. Kinda like polymer paint sealers but for this.
Update - I used some Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner I had laying around. Applied a few times. It's much better now, but still there. The color seems fine. I need to seal it or something so it has that sealed shine like the rest. Any ideas??
I like the idea of just a dressing since its quick and cheap. I'll try to get a good daylight pic, and maybe you can tell me if color was removed or if its just texture/dressing needed.
Any thoughts on this stuff?

Oh ok. Who makes 303? And I don't want anything like Armorall, I've always hated it. Makes things way too wet and shiny. On tires I favor more of a gel that's applied with an applicator sponge.
I'll see if I can find an interior place. Don't even know where to start with that. And agreed, no shot I'm removing the dash. No shot I'm replacing the dash. The pics posted exaggerated it a lot since they were at night with my phone and the flash. Today in cloudy daylight its not nearly as...
Well if vinyl is a type of plastic, can't it be buffed or sealed like plastics? And I also need to restore the color, which I would think a dye would acheive. But the question is what type & how do I color match?
