Thanks gentlemen!
It did take quite a while, almost 8 hours start to finish spread across a few days but I am happy with the outcome.

Well done, and excellent choice of products! Someone did their homework! The Powerlock/Collinite combo looks amazing, and is incredibly durable. Ceramic coatings? Never heard of them.

I agree about coatings, never been a big fan of them. I'd use them on a daily driver, but nothing beats the look of a fresh sealant/wax combo.

I watched a video last night of a detailing training session with the guys from Rupes Polishers. Everyone agreed that for show cars, weekend toys, or the cars that owners enjoy detailing, just stick to quality sealants and waxes. Nobody in those categories needs a coating that lasts 1-3 years. Fixing bird bombs, accidental swirls, and other minor spot corrections needs to be quick and easy for those guys. They said the cars that really need ceramic coatings are the daily drivers with scratches and dings. The ones that aren't going to get detailed often and you want to be able to clean very easily. Made perfect sense to me!

Thanks everyone!
I have never used these two Menzerna polishes, or the sealant and wax, but as a total package they are outstanding and didn't destroy my bank account.
Black is a hard color to maintain, but I wouldn't have any other color for a corvette. As I type this though, a fine layer of pollen has already accumulated on the car and will be needing a clean up soon!
