When your doing a full detail, do you normally dress or coat the trim after the detail or before you apply any polish, wax, sealant that way nothing is on the paint?

I dress after the detail so that my pad or MF don`t touch it and spread to the paint.

Always after, trim and glass are always last.

Noting that I only use Trim Sealants (UTTG+) and LSPs on my trim, I don`t have a hard-and-fast rule about it. But overall I probably do the trim after the paint more often than before, not that it matters IMO.

I just purchased WETS and plan on using it on my car this weekend. I assume since its a sealant it last a few washes where I dont have to re apply each wash

Never used that, but I hope it does last a while, otherwise it wouldn`t be much better than some Drying Aid, huh?
