Yes it should be compatible.

but I thought Killr said NOT to use a polish with oils when using the DP Sealant unless you do an alcohol wipedown prior to sealing

I'm basing my answer on what the AG store site says. http://autogeek.net/dp555.html It says that the finishing polish can be used before a wax or sealant, but I will always defer to Killerwheels. If he says to do a wipe down with iso and water then do the wipe down.

I read that page too, that's why I was confused

Yeah, I was more concerned with the durability. I'm sure it would bond just find. My goal is to maximize durability as the winter's here in NJ can get pretty rough. I plan on topping either sealant with OCW to help with durability.

In my opinion it's better to err on the side of caution. If you have any question in your mind then do the wipe down. Then you know you have nothing to worry about. Just my 2 cents.

hard to guess ... the DP Finishing Polish was designed to be compatible with the original Shield Shine. As such the oils may be compatible as the Wolfgang Finishing Polish is. Why not try it and report your findings ??

Absolutely...I have all next week off. I plan on trying the DP polish and new sealant out on at least one of my vehicles. I'll use the polish and EX-P on the other.

Just got to figure out where to use alcohol and where not too.
