The main deep gloss and wet look comes from the polishing stage, the sealants and waxes are just the icing on the cake.
Prepare the paint first with a good polish and glaze to get the look you want.
Some nice kits Alex, shame everyone I know refuses to buy me products for Xmas lol
I normally...
An additional conditioner, not cheap but will add to the suppleness the 1Z leaves. Zaino Z10 http://www.advancedcarproducts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=12%5FZ10
Not essential as the 1Z leather care both cleans and conditions. I tend to use the 1Z every 3 months of so, and use the Z10 conditioner...
Unfortunatley not Debs - available here

Well worth ordering IMO though. Best leather product I have found (and I have tried a few!) Won't use anything else on the 182. Cleans and conditions.
Einzett 1Z leather care - about 6 quid from Clean and Shiny, cleans and conditions.
I sometimes follow that up with Zaino Z10 Leather Conditioner.
Both are non greasy and just leave a natural factory look and feel.
Price? - Meant for single stage Black paint, has coloured pigment in it so will mute the metallic flakes.
There is some decent priced Zymol Carbon and Titanium on ebay at the moment which will be better suited.
The SRP lightly polishes and chemical cleans the paint leaving a suitable base for the EGP to bond to allowing the polymers to do there thing.
Mixing the two means you are getting a slightly quicker way of doing things thats all, at the sacrifice of durability. Adding a a layer of just the EGP...
With EX I have always done the whole car that way, watch out if it is damp outside as this will hinder removal.
I don't use a damp applicator with Nattys but you can spritz it first with some QD if you like. Not the easist carnuba on or off, but by no means hard work. Panel at a time for that...
Poorboys EX or EX-P?
Not used either for a while, the EX I used to apply to the whole car and then remove. The EX-P either to the whole car or a panel at a time.
By hand here, PC for sealants seems to waste alot of product being absorbed into the pad.
If they make a mess that much by washing it sure as hell dont let them use a machine on it to polish them out.
Will be hard work and probably won't all come out by hand, will need a machine polish IMO.
