    ​I would do full prep, then use Liquid Paint Sealant as a base, and then top that with Patriot.

    ​In MY opinion, of the (3) models you listed, I believe the Cyclo would serve you well.
     
    ​More money than the Swirl Killer, but will correct, polish, and can be used with accessories for other tasks as well, such as carpet cleaning, etc.
     
    ​Made in USA, but very durable, and the least vibrations from any polisher.

    rkj4243 got a reaction from Dan@Adams in Possible "mentorships?"   
    Rich made a lot of very good, realistic points in his post. Experienced detailer here, with most of the polishers offered here except for a PC, use all at different times. Best bet would be for those interested in learning to attend a clinic put on by Adam's retailer in your area. A lot of times, the Adam's team is well represented, can answer all questions on products and processes, allow you to perform and learn the correct methods, etc.
     
    It would be more of the interested person(s) taking some initiative on their own to make certain to attend one of these sessions, as they typically are held in a wide variety of locations around the USA as the Adam's team time/schedule permits.
     
    The Adam's team still need to produce, market, and deliver the Adam's products to the end user consumers to stay in business, and that should be their number 1 objective.

    Wheel Well Coating
     
    To provide better protection on the plastic wheel wells, and to make cleaning easier, I applied Ceramic Trim Coating while the wheels were off the truck.
     
    The Ceramic Trim Coating Kit comes with everything you need for the application.
     

     
     
    I started by washing the truck in the driveway, spending extra time scrubbing the plastic wheel wells and plastic mud flaps with Tire & Rubber Cleaner, then rinsing good with the pressure washer.
     
    This photo shows the rear splash liner after the regular wash.
     

     
     
    Moving the truck into the garage, and removing all four wheels, I gave the plastic liners and the plastic mud flaps another scrubbing with Tire & Rubber Cleaner and a small dish brush.
     

     

     
     
    Next, I rinsed with distilled water in the Pressurized Spray Bottle, with a plastic tub underneath to catch the runoff.
     

     
     
    This scrubbing and rinsing process was repeated for the front liners, with the addition of a piece of cardboard on the floor to soak up some of the rinse that did not make it into the tub.
     

     
     
    I used the Blaster Sidekick to get most of the water off the plastics, then followed up with a clean Utility Towel.
     
    To prepare the surfaces for coating, I used the Coating Prep by spraying the plastic, while being careful not to overspray the paint, then wiped thoroughly with a clean Utility Towel.
     

     
     
    Using the provided applicator pad, I applied the Trim Coating to the plastic surfaces, first applying in a vertical pattern, then going right back and applying in a horizontal pattern to ensure even coverage.
     

     
     
    On the larger front wells, I applied the product to about ¼ of the area, vertical then horizontal, before moving on to the next area. This was done to ensure that the product did not start to cure before I could go back over it in the opposing direction.
     

     
     
    After letting the coating cure in the heated garage for 24 hours, I then sprayed the plastic wheel well surfaces with Ceramic Boost and wiped down with a clean Utility Towel.
     
     
    The Trim Coating did darken the plastics nicely, especially on the front liners.
     
    Note that for each step/product, I used clean Utility Towels. You do not want to re-use any towels for the different steps.

    John, you are the same age as my son, and there should never be any classification of right or wrong choice on being single or not.
     
    The ONLY choice that matters would be what makes you happy and fulfilled, as an unique, individual human being!

    Son is older than daughter by a couple years, both still single, but daughter a lot more responsible than son may ever be..............
     
    the hardest part of being a parent, is watching them make mistakes which impact their lives tremendously, when you know in your hearts they were brought up and taught better than their actions may indicate.........  society today doesn't seem to think consequences come into the equation anymore...................

    I have used Revive along with a drop or two of Finishing Polish with the gray or red pads on my Cyclo polisher to "jewel" a finish of a show car on a few vehicles with great results, especially when topped with Americana or Patriot wax.
