New from Boston, looking for a suggestion

Hi to everyone here at DC, new here today and I was hoping for some advice.
I have a black 97 850R garage queen that I'm trying to decide on a sealant for. I currently just have two apps of AIO on it after claying and polishing for this season. I'm looking for something that will bond on top of the AIO as well as be layerable itself. I've been looking at the new BF as well as FMJ but was wanting to see what others might think. I was trying to stay away from carnauba if I can but wouldn't rule it out.

Thanks and looking forward to stopping by often and contributing when ever I can:)
 
Most sealants will fit the bill as far as being layerable. Wolfgang is probably my personal favorite right now. I just came off a test of several other products and went back to Wolfgang. Something new is going to have to come out to get me to switch from it. Having compared it to my current options, I don't feel the need to change right now.

I second the gang on black I loved 3-4 layer on my wifes black truck
 
I've never tried the Wolfgang line but I've been looking at the sealer as a likely candidate as well as their spritz.
 
I'm going to have to do some more testing on the spritz. I've only been able to use it a couple times, but after the second or third application of it over a couple weeks I noticed that the paint became the opposite of slick. I'm going to apply it on half the hood for awhile and see what kind of difference it makes compared to the other half that just has the sealant.
 
That's odd...opposite slick. I know what you mean though because I saw that once with a Sonus product. With the AIO I use one part AIO and two parts water to make my own QD for the AIO, I've had good luck with that.
 
I've heard that works. I gave up most of my home brews like that when I found products that did the trick and didn't require me to mix anything. I'm a big fan of using the right tool for the job simply because if that tool doesn't work then you have someone to blame other than yourself. ;) I have been using Poorboy's Spray & Wipe as my QD of choice when the car needs a little cleaning. All my other favorite appearance QDs are no longer available at my favorite online store, so I'm going to have to start looking for another solution once my current supply runs out. I've got enough for the rest of this year, but next year I'll have to start experimenting again.
 
Welcome to DC wpwren...I am also from Mass..I was a Bostonian at one time..but moved to the hill towns of western mass to get away from the rat race..but Boston is a great city..

Once you decide on your topper LSP and apply it to your cars...try to find some DuraGloss Aquawax...it is a sealant ..no wax ..no cleaners..just a polymer sealant..it is a spray sealant..goes over any thing no problem...you can find it at carquest autoparts...or order it on line at thier site....it is some great stuff...7.99 for 22 oz's..it will bring the shine to the next level....and on black it looks great...very durable...and layerable also...for a over the counter product..it is hard to beat....can be used on wet surface or dry surface..I prefer doing it on dry surface..better results....I do not think you will be disapointed...maybe amazed ...very slick..and a great finish...

10-4 on the right tool...got to have it to get the job done and the AIO QD is pretty much foolproof. Thanks for the tip on DuraGloss Aquawax AL-53, I'll add that to my list of "new stuff to try". I'm from North Andover actually but work in Boston.

Thanks for the suggestions guys
