Thank you! I was going to send you a msg thanking you for telling me about the M21. I love that stuff.
I clayed it, polished, glaze, M21 and topped it off with M26. I only did one layer of each. Should have done 2 probably but it was so dang humid today I was whipped halfway thru.

Ill upload more pictures when I get on laptop later.

But seriously, I love the m21/26 combo. It looked amazing just after the 21. It looks dripping wet and is slick as ice. I'm super impressed. Be interesting to see how long it holds up. I know I'll probably need to put both on again before winter.
 
Glad you enjoyed M21. It really is a great sealant. I switch between M21 and ultimate wax. I forget which glaze you went with. I agree that M21/M26 is a great combination. 1 coat of each is all you need. There is no benefit to adding two coats of M21 then M26 or vice versa. M26 will end up being the sacrificial layer and M21 will be right there as a back up. I have read someone getting 7 months out of using M21/M26 and spray waxing in between washes on autogeek. I think you will be fine for the winter. If anything add another coat of M21 in a couple months as M26 should have seen it's end of life by then. M21 for sure will get you through the winter.

The last time I polished out my car I used the following combo and it came out great. M205, Ultimate Wax, M7 and M26. You can see the photos on my thread here on page 2. Also check out the sheeting video on page 3. You can see how good Ultimate Wax sheets as long as it it properly maintained. The beading looks great as well.

You may want to try this combo next time with the glaze after your sealant.
 


Here are the promised "non-teaser" pictures :)

I did:
Clay bar
Polished with Poorboy's World Professional Polish with a pink pad
Poorboy's White Diamond Glaze with a green pad
Meguiars M21 Sealant with a black pad
Meguiars M26 yellow wax with a black pad
Polished the wheels and sealed them and the exhaust tips with Poorboy's Wheel Sealant
Applied tire shine (I got one of those small foam tire shine applicators, it's my new favorite!) You use so much less product, only goes where you want it and it's not running all over the place and getting on the rim itself. It also dries a lot quicker.

Anyways...on with the pictures













All tucked in the garage for the night



Wheel
(not quiet as mirrored as I would like, but I didn't spend crazy time on them)


And just some random reflection shots

Thanks guys! I'm just glad it gets to sleep in the garage tonight. It'll have to sit out in the rain the rest of the week tho :(

It came out great. The red is looking real good. Hit it with some Meguiar's ultimate quik wax every other wash and you will be good to go. Even some ultimate quik detailer to remove some light dust would be good.
 
Made a trip to the Pull a part yard. Replaced the door light housing thing that I broke when changing a bulb. Looked at my receipt after I left. What is the $1.50 "environmental fee" for?
 
So it's sway bar time in the Regal.. I was considering the Progress front sway from ZZP but everyone is telling to go with the Dorman. Is the Dorman solid? Any opinions on what to go with?
 


I'll get some good bushings and I already have poly end links. I guess I'l listen to everyone else and go with the Dorman over the Progress and save myself $70 haha.
