foam pads are a waste of time when trying to CUT on gelcoat....the 3M Superbuff 2+2 pads flex alot more than any backing plate will and allow you to put heavy pressure on the pad which is what you need when polishing gel....
next step if you wanna get crazy is 3M finesse it on a yellow 3m wool blend polish pad also with the superbuff 2+2 adapter......
as far as auto sealants dont waste your time really..just use a quality cleaner wax as your first coat of LSP and then follow with collinite fleetwax.....
some guys on here have `````ed that my process is TOO COMPLICTED but try it and master it and you will love it....
