    It's not expensive  ($15) so you could just buy some and keep  using it.  Guard N Gloss after every couple of washes is good,  BG won't hurt a thing.  Or you can just wash and use Detail Spray.  You really can't hurt anything.

    This is my wife's White Pearl Rav4, I did this weekend.  My layers are one-step polish, then Brilliant Glaze, then Paint Sealant.  It seems to really bring the pearl out in it, when I get to about 4-5 month mark on the paint sealant the car really loses it pop of the pearl.  If its a sealant, I would not put any wax over the top of it, it might take away from the sealant.  I would just use detail spray as a dry agent when you wash, and brillant glaze if you just want to bring out the pearl alittle more.

    Out here in the country cats are partners, not pets.  If one causes a problem it goes away.  It's a self-perpetuating resource.

    Yep, good order. Strip Wash only before applying the sealant, not as an "every wash" thing. HGG goes on every 4-6 washes or so as maintenance for the PS. DS in between is just fine, too. Don't forget polish, which would be after clay, before sealant.
     
    Here's a good article to digest even more on the different products:

    Yes, the Paint Sealant is much easier to apply.  Ceramic Paint Coating is much more involved in the prep and application, and if the application does not turn out right, then it has to be machine polished off.
     
    The protection provide by the Paint Sealant will not be any different if applied by hand or machine.  The advantage of machine application is that you get a really thin coat, which makes it really easy to wipe off the residue, and also uses less product.

    Great info TheWolf Thanks a bunch...
     
    So is Pint Sealant more "forgiving"  in its application?  and as I am current doing all work by hand how good is the paint sealant when applied by hand vs machine?

    With H2O Guard & Gloss on the trim, you do not really need to use VRT.  An exception would be if the trim is faded, the VRT will restore it better than the HGG.
     
    Yes, the Ceramic Trim Coating will provide better and longer lasting protection for the lower trim. 
     
    Ceramic Paint Coating provides better and longer lasting protection for the paint, but it takes more care/skill to apply, with the preparation the key to getting the best results and longest protection from the CTC.

    You'll want to Strip wash your car to get the paint naked.  Also, if it has been driven a bit, a decontamination with Clay might be a good idea.  After that/if you do that, you'll want to apply Liquid Paint Sealant for 4-6 month protection.  Apply H2O GG afterwards and every few washes to maintain shine and protection. Wax, especially a weak wax like Buttery Wax, is unnecessary, however you may apply it if you want for more shine.  Buttery lasts about 2 weeks I'd say, and if you apply your H2O GG over the top of old Buttery (IF that sequence lined up) then your H2O GG will come off as soon as the Wax does which may be in the next few days.  Generally, I say Paint Sealant and H2O GG is all you need and is very straight forward.  Save the waxing for the show cars IMO but if you want to do it, you can. Just know what you're doing. 
    Detail spray doesn't have any layering properties like Sealant or Wax, it's a spray and wipe detail-in-a-bottle that works on any surface for a bit of extra shine and cleaning.  It also has hundreds of other uses, but for what you're talking about, you can apply Detail spray whenever you want a little therapy or extra shine or cleaning light dust/fingerprints/smears etc.

    Use Paint Sealant, since it has the longest and best protection of the sealants/waxes.  Maintain this monthly with H2O Guard & Gloss.  You can certainly add Buttery Wax on top of this for extra depth.
