    Seeking advice on a paint sealant and wax combo

    Two that's I've used lately were WG DGS + Meg's Gold Class Carnauba (on a blue/green Corolla) and WG DGS + DP Max Wax (on a Sedona Red BMW). Honestly I almost preferred just the look of the sealant alone on that BMW (which has an almost orange metallic flake in the red paint).

    Lurker alert: concaved my buffing pad

    Looks like it over heated and the foam broke down. This happened to me the first time I polished a car too. Gotta let the pad cool down, or swap them out (better choice). I usually clean/rotate my pads every panel. Some pads seem to hold up better under hard use/heat than others.

    Taping

    Ironically I find blue painters tape from Harbor Freight to work really well. It's actually too low tack for real household painting chores, but just enough for auto work.

    Chrome trim, real or faux

    Another cheap option if the trim is past the point of no return is Plasti Dip. Super easy to apply via spray can. Comes in all sorts of colors including aluminum.

    New and Confused

    This, and the "look" of OC Pro are 2 reasons why I sorta regret getting OC Pro installed. One thing I do not regret is paying to get my black finish flawless before application. At least when and if I ever remove the OC I'll be starting from a good place, that is if I don't mess up my finish in...

    Microfiber towel for removing Megs 105 & 205?

    Microfiber Tech edgeless 350gsm polish towels get my vote. Work great for polish/wax removal as well as spray wax spreading. Low nap, no lint. Also great on glass.

    How long does your polish last?

    At the rate I'm using, I should be able to get at least 4 cars from an 8oz bottle.

    Rinseless wash process

    Good to know. My car is black as well. Always looking for a deal. Will have to give UWW+ a serious look as well.
