    MB Pearl Beige Paint

    I have an E class Mercedes with Pearl Beige metallic paint that needs its first paint protection treatment. The list of recommended products by members of this forum is endless and I figure I couldn`t go wrong by using any of the recommended high quality sealants and/or carnauba waxes. I want paint protection from bugs and sun{Florida} as well as a nice look. My thoughts were to try a very fine clay bar followed by Prima Hydromax sealant and then top it with Souveran wax. I am not a detailer so I need a fairly straight forward manual application technique and will not be using any power buffers. Am I on the right track or any comments/suggestions?
    Thanks.

    where in fl?

    souveran is one of the best looking waxes in the market, but not great on protection.

    2013 and the paint is in excellent condition. The car is washed weekly, garaged most of the time but has never been waxed, sealed by me. I get the bugs off same day they appear but its getting harder because there is nothing on the paint. It has been "detailed" by the dealer a few times but I have no idea what they used. I see no swirls or scratches in the paint

    no swirls, no marring.......

    consider coating.

    suggest = pbl black label

    then after that you can wax to your hearts content. synergy is beautiful on top
