diabolus- Im looking at that Optimum, and I cant imagine it would work better than a paste wax. How well does it really hold up?

It actually lasts quite a while... I had it in my car for a couple months and it was still beading strong before I removed it. Run a search on autopia.org and you'll see some pretty positive reviews that I can vouch for myself

Also, how long do you all let the synthetics and carnaubas cure for?

It depends. FMJ requires you to wait at least 24 hours before applying another coat. Opti-seal only requires a couple hours. I think that's the exception rather than the rule, though. Most waxes I've used have a 24 hour curing time

I'm a fan of Wolfgang with some Polycharger added in. I've done sealant/wax layering, but the results for me at least aren't worth the time to put the wax on the next day.

my car after a coat of polycharged wolfgang

This is my dads car before/after.. I clayed, polished with my PC buffer and blue edge 2000 pad using Pinnacle xmt360, and finished it with polycharged wolfgang using the white edge2000 pad.
