That's why I went with 476s since it's a hybrid and gets the job done well, even with just a single layer.

Just look at that reflection, yet the SWP/whiteout still looks rich.



However, 476s is kind of a PITA to use. You must use just the right amount, or else you'll be buffing it off for days. After some experimenting, the right amount would be a very thin layer applied on. Also, it may produce pseudo scratches/marring. That just means you need to use more micro fiber towels.
Yeah. . . It's like half a day before the sealant cures. I used to wax my mustang once a month and it look amazing, but it didn't last long. That's why I was looking into a sealant, but I'll take a look at that 476s.

Appreciate all the info
