after 105 and 205, do a IPA (rubbing alcohol, either full strength or 1:1 with distilled water) wipe down. Apply sealant if you want, then wax.

Sealant is not necessary, but from what I'm aware of, it does give more protection than wax. Blackfire's sealant and wax is a very very good combo. It is also pretty expensive though.

If cost is an issue then you can always try Menzerna powerlock sealant + poorboy's wax.

You want to use a sealant because a sealant will last a lot longer then wax. I use Blackfire Wet Diamond. You want to use wax on top of the sealant. Let the sealant cure for at least 8 hours before waxing. Here is the sealant i use:

I would also highly recommend you read Todd Cooperiders writeup on a full TL detail. You will learn everything you need to know and what the best products are for detailing our TLs.

IF you want to use a wax, use it atop a sealant. My recommendation is wait at least 24 hrs before applying. Its often recommended to wait 24 hrs before applying an additional coat of Polymer, I see no reason not to follow that recommendation for a Nuba.....As for best products, its totally subjective......There's not necessarily a best, but there are products which are favored more often then others. My recommendation is stay with a high quality name brands, and the one's often recommended by other detailers, then find out for yourself, what your most favored is......chances are, you're going to take a few forks in the road.

Do not expect miracles right off the bat. As with any new "refinishing" job, it takes time learning the ropes. The PC is just the easiest/safest of the choices available. Also, consider using product with extended working times, non/minimal dusting.
The #1 objective with the PC is, become comfortable using it! Not immediate results. They will come as the user becomes familiar with pads, products, & techniques.
