Limited time - polish or sealant?

[locky]

Want to give the car a little seeing to but have limited time today so cant do everything.

Gonna give a wash with AG shampoo and conditioner then have only time for one coat of 'something' on the paint.

Should I use the AG super resin polish OR the AG extra gloss sealant for quickest bestest results?

Im thinking it should be the polish? Then if I get chance in the week give it a rinse, a spray of rapid detailer and then the sealant?

Had a coat of Megs GC clear liquid wax a few washes ago so dont know if that changes the situation either. Any pointers appreciated

Also should I give it a QD spray and rub after washing and drying anyway?

To the best of my knowledge the AG super resin polish is a combination product which has cleaners, glazes and waxes in it. I'm not sure if it has a physical cut to it, or whether it just disguises scratches using a glaze.
The extra gloss on the other hand is a synthetic sealant, which is there purely to protect. If your paint is up to the standard you want, the sealant will give you longer lasting protection. If you need to remove some blemishes however, the super resin polish would be better.
Wax can be layered over a sealant, but sealant doesn't layer so well over a wax. However, if you seal it then use the super resin polish, due to its cleaning nature it'll probably remove some sealant as well. I would therefore say the super resin polish would be a better choice overall, with some quick detailer in between times to top up the shine as you say.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, useful and makes sense!

Funny thing, after cleaning, drying, doing in all around inside the doors and boot....(break to make bacon sarnies and put a casserole in the slow cooker)...de-bugging (that was hard), cleaning the glass, trim gel on the plastics/rubbers, autosol on the pipe... I decided to just give it a quick detail with the Rapid Detailer rather than either of the treatments I said in the beginning.

I will use the super resin polish next time as there are some marks in the paint I hope will come out, plus some nasty ones that will need paint, but I am thinking next year for that, so will probably look to give it a seal after the next few polishes to be set for the winter.

All in all im impressed with my first experience of the AG products ive used so far and didnt even use the resin polish or extra gloss protection yet! The shampoo conditioner was very nice and as really impressed with the Fast Glass, amazing stuff!

That turned out really well. Looks fantastic. The auto glymm range is indeed good. The detailer in itself will give a level of protection and is great for taking away water marks and light dust between washes.

Sealant is useful in autumn/winter. Apply it in early November and your car will be protected until spring

carpro reload is a good spray sealant, a little pricey but quality is 2nd to none
