Never ending battle my friend. Good luck.

Okay guys, getting ready to do the polish/wax job next weekend!

Final questions:

1) Do I need to prime my pads for the DG105 and the C845? Or is priming only needed for the polishes.

2) Rinsing off the nanoskin: is it necessary to dunk it in a tub of water against a grit guard or can I simply just spray water liberally over the surface to get the debris off?

Bump, anyone?

I always prime my pads. i don't want any dry object going across my paint.

I just rinse my nanoskin (I use the sponge) in water. It cleans very easily. If you drop it, rinse it.

How much do I need to prime the pad because I've read horror stories with using too much Collinite with a lot of ghosting.

Couple drops, spread it around the pad with your finger.

(1 step) I think I would do DG601/DG105 and let it be, and then maybe just a spray wax from time to time. (I've never used DG601/DG105 though)

(2 step) or M205 and a sealant,

(3 step) but I think, if your going to do that many steps, you might as well and do a 3 step and you could be around the same time frame and probably get even more paint correction.

Meaning,

Compound
Polish
Sealant

Finally, I would just either decide to do a 1 step, 2 step or 3 step. Which in my opinion would let you use your resources and time as wisely as possible.

just sharing my thoughts and trying to help.

Goodluck!

Cool, okay thanks.

Only have one day to do it all next week before I move so hopefully it doesn't rain!!!

Though, I suppose, theoretically I could still polish, seal, and wax the car since i do it all in my school's parking garage.

Sorry, one more question.

Layering DG105 vs Collinite. Since DG105 has like a 3 hour cure time w/ DG601, I'm leaning towards layering Collinite since I can just layer the wax right away as I return to the panel.

Is there any reason to not layer the Collinite instead of the DG105? I imagine the Collinite on top the DG105 will provide lots of durability.

My understanding is DG 105 / 601 mixed will flash cure immediately.

After you buff /remove, you are good to apply Collinite. I wait maybe 30-45 minutes between them. YMMV.

Collinite will will bead like you can't believe. Do the windows too. And forget about using wipers. You won't need them.
