I've been reading all the great tips here for hours and hours. Finally have an action plan but would like some feedback.
My kids got me a G9 and I'm going to do my first correction on a 2011 RX350 with Satin Cashmere Metallic paint. I've learned this is a hated color on the forum, it's super hard to see defects (I can barely seen any swirls but the paint is in great condition), and Lexus/Toyota paint is soft. It's going to be hard to see the correction with this paint even on a test section, I believe.
Following the cardinal rule of starting with the least aggressive approach I'm planning to try the Griot's Finishing Sealant (AIO) using the yellow Boss pads. What do you guys think?

I also have the Liquid 3-in-1 wax that came with my kit, and a bunch of Griot's red waxing and orange correcting pads. Griot's seems to recommend using the 3-in-1 wax and orange correcting pads for a one step, but I think my approach is less aggressive? I could also try the Liquid 3-in-1 wax with the yellow Boss pads for another step down or either of the black finishing pad, but I don't think I'll get much correction with that combo.
Once done, should I put anything over the Finishing Sealant like Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 wax spray? I've had amazing results using TW Seal & Shine as a drying aid after ONR washes.
Thanks in advance and please excuse my OCD.
