Default What to use on top of Chemical Guys Black Light

So the car I bought had a beautiful finish when I got it. Now upon cleaning it with tar and bug remover (stoners) Iv got some black residue on my micro fiber towel. Members here mentioned its a dirty trick the dealers do by putting a black glaze on it.

So Im using megs ultimate compound by hand then Chem Guys Black Light but need a sealant on top of that which Im hoping will cover the scratches that are not through all the way the clear coat, like their V7 sealant. Trying to find a product that makes the black light last longer and resist sap, bird poop, snow.

Whats the most durable sealant for final coat on top of chemical guys black light?

Your best bet is to ask Chemical Guys. I'm sure they'll respond quickly. Typically whatever you put on top of something else will mask whatever beneficial properties the underlying layer had. That can be good, bad, or neither, depending on what you're going for with Black Light. They might recommend V7 hybrid as a topper. V7 is just for that extra kick of gloss and doesn't really offer much protection. maybe a week or so. but it's very effective and easy to use. Ask CG.

Thanks but from what I hear the V7 only lasts a few months. As reading I found Turtle wax ceramic hybrid is effective.
