I'll be paying attention to the suggestions since I'm looking for a "drying aid" type LSP that will serve as the only form of protection after the sealant from One Step is long gone. If it has OK durability then great, but I'm really looking for something that levels easily on the paint I can haphazardly spray on as I dry as fast as I can with my PFMs to avoid water spots.
You will love it! I have seen him use PNS on top of this stuff as well. I'm a big believer in product "synergy" so I think I'm just gonna spring for the Blackfire Synthetic Spray Wax. Price wise it won't hurt too much to try. It supposedly contains Polycharger which is an old rapid curing additive, I'm hoping that it will cross link with the same stuff in One Step and give me the ultra slickness and shine I want from the end product while upping the durability by a little. I'm sure it will work a whole lot better in the sun than the SiO2 Sealant at minimum. Don't get me wrong, the SiO2 Sealant is OUTSTANDING. I used it on top of One Step on my gf's car about 5 months ago, and it surprisingly still beads water and is holding up well. Just need something a little quicker and easier to use.

Oh man!! Yeah it reminds me of the old Zaino days of mixing the catalyzer with the sealant in those tiny little bottles

I apologize I can't remember the member, but I stole someone from here's method when I did my Wife's Mom's black Volvo last summer - In his post, the member used Griot's One Step Sealant, but I used BlackFire One Step the same way: Do your rounds with One Step, leave on to haze. Before wiping off, spray a stripe of the PNS on, then wipe off. Still wipes off One Step easy. (I think it may have been Cruz's Car Wash. It was a production detailer for sure.)
I haven't had a chance to do a hand wash on the car yet, but last time I saw it it's still looking stellar. She's just been doing drive through touchless washes to my knowledge.
Planning on using BSD as a drying aid when I get a chance to give it a proper wash.

After you did the one step did you do anything else before you put the 303 on?
