I am curious as to what you guys prefer for this product. Do you use a rotary or a PC? What pads do you find to see the best results from? And how long do you see this product protecting and lasting for? Thank you in advance!:heelclick
 
I use a white polishing pad with Poli-Seal applied with either the Flex or PC, I don't own a rotary.



I don't find the durability of Poli-Seal to be very good. I usually remove it with Aquawax to aid with its durability.
 
By PC (which is what I usually use) with a Meguiars yellow polishing pad. By rotary, I use it with a blue Soft Edge polishing pad (which is softer than most polishing pads) and have no issues with holograms appearning, even months after application.



Poli-Seal will last around 90 days or so (depending on enviromental conditions, wash method, etc) but you can add another month or so by removing it with Optimum Car Wax.
 
I use it with a Cyclo+green Edge pads, remove with OCW. Works great, at least on a relatively swirl free car. I wax at least every 2 months so durability is no problem. Maintain it with OCW now and then and you can probably keep it nice for 6 months.
 
Edge Polishing Pad/rotary



3M finishing pad/rotary is my fav (also for D151, works awsome)



Polishing Pad/PC



I dont really trust any AIO as for long term protection so I usualy top it but I can tell you that the 2 months I had Poli-Seal only it seemed to hold up well.
 
I've applied it with my PC and my rotary.



With my PC I've used an orange LC pad, and white LC pads. I typically work it like I would a polish on PC at speeds 5-6. I'd much rather use the white pad than orange, but it looked like I got more correction (possibly filling...not really sure..no stripping wipedown as it was a one step) with the orange.



With my rotary, I've applied it with a blue Edge Polishing pad and a white Edge finishing pad. I usually keep the speed down around 1000, but I think I've bumped up to about 1200. I'd definitely recommend that you get a feel for the product with the PC first, because you cant really see it on the finish as well as with other polishes.



I've never left it alone on a car. I spritz a little OCW onto the panel as I remove the PS. I'm wiping it down anyway, so the OCW doesnt add any more time to the process, and it should give you some extra protection.
 
Orange light cutting or white plosihing pad via pc for my customers. Orange for more correction/oxidation removal and white for paints in great condition. Orange pads will cause micromarring on softer paints though. I've never used it with a rotary (yet).



I'm actually walking away from poliseal and towards XMT 360. It's durability is just shy of poliseal, but offers more correction and less work time.
