I normally apply a glaze or pre-wax cleanser (Zymol HD Cleanse or Meg's #7 is typically what I use), apply an LSP (I frequently use a Zymol Carnauba wax), and give it a QD wipedown after the wax has been given ample time to cure (I like Meg's UQD or Last Touch and wait a minimum of 4 hours). Hope this helps.

After abrasive polishing

first option - Prima Amigo by orbital or rotary
let it sit on the paint for an hour
followed by Driven Marine sealant glaze straight over the top of Amigo

Two thin coats of Driven to seal

Second option - Toughseal step 1 and 2 by hand
Gives a really clear and wet finish

Third option

Ultra Gloss superpolish by orbital
Then a sealant coat by hand

fourth option - Glare Zero, Micro Finish and Advanced super long term sealant

fifth option - Aussie Gold showroom sealer glaze spray by rotary and orbital to glaze the paint
then three spray on coats of it to seal for six months

sixth - Zaino

Just about to get some to test out
