Great stuff from Dr. Pain as always. If you follow my signature, you will find out which ones I have chose to affiliate with and that is about the end of it. Customer service, performance of the product and a wealth of real-life user knowledge go a long way. I also do not like the flash floor...
I just started adding this to my arsenal and I can agree fully that on lighter colors, this stuff looks pretty wicked. I just polished the hood on my wife's Silver Lexus this past weekend and did the AIO and then the Sealant on it. Rained last night and it was beading like crazy.

They market is heavily, it is only similar in that it is another coating option. I would say if you stick with the well known brands you should not have any issues. CarPro, Opti-Coat, Modesta, 22ple, there are others.

Sealant before wax is typically the M.O. Adams doesn't make a sealant, but they do make a glaze.
I can only assume that the buttery wax is a carnauba type wax, which will get you a nice shine and depth, but durability is going to be on the short side. If you don't mind every couple of weeks...
My wife came home yesterday and asked if I had put this in her wiper tank. I said yes, why?
She said that it foamed up but the window was clear from all bugs.
I said, there you go, the suds will not bother anything.
She said, Good!

No and Yes.
All carnauba is derived from the same source, if I am not mistaken, the amount in the waxes can be different as well as what it is mixed with. Pure carnauba would be a bear to work with, so you have to add other oils to make it easier to apply and work with.
Different brands offer...
You can apply it to trim as well, it will work as a restorer to some extent. I love the stuff on paint and it reacts like a coating, just doesn't last as long.

If we are dreaming, then I would take the FLEX 3401 and use a shrink ray to take it down to the size needed to use a 3" cutting or polishing pad. I think that would be a great option, forced rotation and a small pad, but I suppose you could also just get the PE-8.

Mike, After doing the initial cleanse and seeing the actual condition of the paint, I text the owner to get some details, because I almost told him that I was not going to coat the car.
He is not the original owner, he himself had never taken the car to any car wash tunnel of swirls.
I can only...
Oh yeah, I also specifically went with BC-04, for the color and the additional hardness on this paint. He should be coming back on the 9th for the first wash.
