Hey guys... looking for some opinions here.

I have a black 2013 Santa Fe 2.0T, had it for a year now, and as soon as the white stuff melts - will be doing a solid detail job on it. New to the "professional" side of things - been doing plenty of homework for a month now on detailing products, MF, polishes, waxes, soaps etc...

My paint has some minor defects - swirls/spider webbing... as it's only a year old, and I had a shop in town clay it and wax is last spring - should be in decent shape.
I do plan on wash/clay/wash... then polish and wax.

My question: I'm in a toss up between Pinnacle XMT #3 and 360 or Menzerna products (can't decide what i'm going to need... maybe 2500 & 4000).
With that said... I want to top it off with Collinite 845, and perhaps Max Wax or Blackfire.

If I choose the XMT system, and finish with 360 - is that going to jive with the Collinite? Is it the same type of product/sealant - or is the 360 more of a finishing policy to the #3, and then the collinite would be a nice sealant after it?

Looking for your thoughts.... photo of my hood after a recent wash. Also, I will getting my hands on some pads and a PC 7424xp...
Thanks!

I love 845 I just used Wolfgang finishing glaze topped with jet seal 109 and then 845 on the wife's car turned out great as usual.

I also just came across the wolfgang swirl remover, then wolfgang finishing glaze... did a great job in the video Mike did using them.
I'm assuming these two products, followed by 845 would be fine too?

From all the reading I've done, I don't think Collinite is too picky.

I've used 845 on top of Meguairs UP, Klasse AIO, and Poorboys Black Hole with no issues.

Does anyone here have any comments/preferences between the menzerna 2500/4000 combo, wolfgang combo, or the XMT #3/360 combos?
