It is not garaged and is my dd. Hard to get good pics. Going to have to figure out how to do that better.

I am preparing to clay and then anxious to use my (new to me) first gen pc do polisher. I already have purchased the lc backing pad, two orange, a white and a red lc pad, and Wolf swirl remover and Wolf finishing glaze. Now I just want to pick out a aio sealer/wax that will finish the job. This is where I'm stuck.

Thanks,
Bill

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant delivers a deep, wet, liquid shimmer unlike anything you can imagine. (http://www.autogeek.net/wg5500.html)

BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection, paint sealant, synthetic sealant, blackfire sealant (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-wet-diamond-sealant.html)

No need for AIO if you're compounding and polishing..

Thanks, guess I'm still learning the purpose of each of these products.

So, in future after I remove swirls, polish and seal and want to just use a single product to do light polishing and seal at same time is when I would look to an AIO?

Also what is confusing me a little is that the Blackfire sealant does suggest using a wax as last step.

suggests, but is not necessary. The wet diamond sealant + midnight sun wax has been a popular combination.

With the sealants mentioned you should get a few months of durability out of them.

Yep, that's the purpose of an AIO - light polishing, paint cleaning, and an intial layer of sealant. Use it once or twice a year, if you've got your wash methods down to not induce any new swirls. good luck!

What type of vehicle is this? I am thinking Meguiars D151 or Duragloss 501. If it is ceramiclear then Menzerna SF-4000.

As to your questions, if you want to just have a single product do polish/seal then an AIO type product is what you are talking about. As to Blackfire sealant, it is your choice to top it with a wax. It all depends on what you are looking to achieve.

BlackFire no buffing required. Polish until it disappears. Then my other two favorites are Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Menzerna FMJ. SRP over the Mez. The resins are harder then the polymers, last longer and the SRP is so easy to work with.
It's hard to find. All the major detailing sites stopped carrying the AG line of products.
