Now that I've #83'd and DGPS'd, what now? More DGPS, or... (and drying advice)

Two things.



1:

So we've got a fantastically clear forecast over the next week, prompting me to spend some long overdue time with my 7424 and my car's paint, the results of which will probably be put in C&B later. But since I've got a lazy day tomorrow, I'm wondering what I should do tomorrow pm, if anything.



The progression earlier was as follows:



  • GC wash
  • #83 w/ CMA white
  • Wolfgang's paint sealant x1



Shall I go with a second round? I forget if this stuff layers. Since NXT and Synwax FX would defeat the purpose of layering, other non-DGPS possibilities include P21S, KSG, 845, #26, and maybe a few other goodies about which I've forgotten.



2:

Since I would like to avoid as much physical contact with the paint as possible to avoid scratching it up again, which drying methodology would you suggest I try? Electric leaf blower, carefully maintained water blade, Mr. Clean (yeah, I know, I know) for the rinse only, or something else entirely? I can never seem to NOT scratch the hell out of the paint with MFs over time.



Car/paint in question is a black '03 Corvette, and washes are done with a Eurow wool mitt.
 
I don't know if you can actually prove any products fully layers (as in film builds) but I find that Wolfgang's Sealant seems to have no cleaning power so it shouldn't remove what you've already laid down. I'd go with a second layer to ensure complete coverage and then maybe add an additional layer every few washes.
