What's the best sealant that would give me good lasting protection and a good shine? It's going onto a freshly painted 1998 pearl white New Beetle that is my daily driver. I was leaning towards the Kalsse AIO, just to make sure there are no imprefection whatsoever, topped with their glaze.

From what I understand you should not seal fresh paint. Gotta allow it time to cure completelly... I memory serves it's a minimum of 30 days but I remember reading 90 days somewhere. I am sure someone can confirm or refute this.

Thanks I know that I have to wait I should've mentioned that. Is there anything that I could put on to protect it that's breathable so it can still cure?

you can wet sand or compound it all you like but no wax or sealants

You can put on a glaze though they won't last very long.

I believe CG blacklight is bodyshop safe so that would be something id go for.
