Evening all,

First time I've posted here. Last week I gave my Glacier White S3 a full, two-day detail starting on Thursday with a snow foam, wash, IronX decon, clay mitt and wash down. Friday, I washed the car again before a full (light) machine correction with GTechniq P1 and a fine (finishing) pad. I was surprised at how good the paintwork still was having not had a pamper since the Autumn!
I then applied Carbon Collective's Platinum Paint "glasscoat". I was shitting myself before I started this as I know how tricky these applications can be but it went swimmingly!
Finally I applied AD Very Berry wheel sealant to the rims and tailpipes, finishing with glass cleaner (Waitrose!) and Endurance tyres, with AF trim dressing.

I was just wondering who recommends what for a "top up" sealant? I was going to use my AD Obsession hard wax but worried that this may either damage the glass coat or just be ineffective. I've looked at GTechniq SiloSeal and Angelwax Reload - anyone got any other ideas? And are these safe to use on the CC coating?
I'm looking for max protection, durability and gloss and I know the spray sealants top up these coatings well.
Finished result (with a bit of road splash!):

@batch - Gyeon Q2M Cure seems to be the 'go to' product as a top of up for any sealent based products
I have some but haven't had the chance to use it yet

Gyeon Q2M Bathe+ shampoo seems to work well with the sealent based LSP's too

Ouch! Pricey! Looks good though. Thanks @Bristle Hound
 
£11.50 pricey? On a 30 something grand car. Just saying,sorry. :D

I'm off to research water spotting on ceramic coatings as I've had a bit of this on Cquartz Finest.

Damn you @Bristle Hound you are a bad dog! :) I'm now looking at both these products and thinking I need them in my collection. I've been doing so well with my Detailing diet as well!! :D
