Finally im about to bite the bullet and purchase a new lineup of polishes/waxes/sealants/DA. Ive been reading throughly on what to buy and what not to buy and have finally come to the conclusion that I will be buying these items. I just need some extra tips and last minute questions answered

How does everone like XMT360 as a sealant?

Current Shopping cart from AG
P21s concours wax
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover (twins package)
Pinnacle Final Polish(twins package)
XMT Polishing pad cleaner
XMT Foam pad conditioner
XMT 360
Ultimate detailing machine with a few pads (200$ combo on AG

Now here are my questions, should I swap the pinnacle advanced swirl remover and final polish for XMT#3 (Intermediate Swirl Remover) and XMT #4 (Heavy duty swirl remover polishing compound)? Are there any major differences between the signature series 2 and the xmt lineup? I will be using a UDM for the application of these compounds to the car.

I know that the XMT is made for machine application but I have heard great reviews on both the signature series 2 lineup and XMT lineup, Im confused on which I would benefit from the most since they are both within the same price range. input?

Can I top the polish with the XMT360 then top that with the wolfgang sealant then top that with p21s?

How long should I wait in between application times of the sealant and p21s?

thank you all

P21S wax replaced with S100 (same thing half the price)
Wolfgang sealant (replace with JS109)
Replace both swirl removers with Menzerna (if u dont want to spend the $ then PB or XMT)
X out the pad conditioner and cleaner. Conditioner use any QD, cleaner use Dawn Power dissolver 1.50 at walmart works better
XMT360 is good stuff

Only if you want to lose depth and the wet look.

Never! You mean if you want to lose 11 hours and 45 min!

(WG has a 12 hour curing time as JS is 15 min)

I've read posts by multiple pad manufacturers stating that Dawn can degrade the glue that pads are held together with.

FMINUS

Thats all I ever use, no problems so far. Dawn is the only thing that gets my pads back to NEW. I mean NEW!

Im so tempted to pickup some JS109 from CG but im breaking my budget right now.

Ive got a max of 310$ thank you everyone for your input, also how do you guys like XMT360 as a sealant before the s200/p21s??

I have been using the Wolfgang DG sealant on my wife's '07 Civic Si without any last step over it. It is easy to use and produces a beautiful shine. My only complaint is that it lasts about 6 weeks at most. I haven't tried JS109, but I have used Klasse SG on my S2000 and other cars. It's harder to use but lasts much longer than the Wolfgang. I use P21S as a last step and plan on trying the S100 when my supply runs out.
