Sealant – a completely synthetic blend of polymers that provides long-lasting paint protection and shine.
From the definitions, I had applied that the sealant after because it would seal and give protection after the carnauba wax was applied.
Nevertheless, I am not 100% sure if it should be before or after. If you do know that the sealant should be before I will take your word for it!
This was the first time I used any type of paint sealant, usually it is just a wax for my cars.

Wow!! Very nice work!!
Did you do a test panel first before going with a yellow pad? Seems a bit harsh to start with unless you really had some serious swirl marks.. You may of been able to cut down the time by starting with Orange. Nevertheless it came out beautifully!! The Flex 3401 is awesome for sure!!
