Just remember that the Meguiars compound will remove the self healing coating. You probably will have no choice but to do that just FYI.

Nice ride!
Sorry to go off subject, but our cars have "self-healing paint?" What is that?
I assume I can wax it like I normally do, which I was planning on doing it this week?

At least the 13-15 LS sedans have self healing paint. There is a special layer of clear coat applied on top that "self heals" when exposed to heat, and small fine scratches and swirl marks will smooth out.
You can wax as normal, but I would avoid machine polishing or using products with mechanical or chemical abrasives unless its really necessary because you will remove this self healing coat. Removing it isn't the end of the world, it won't harm the appearance of the paint you just loose the self healing properties.
Make sure your wax or sealant isn't a one step or "cleaner" product. Most products found in an auto parts store or walmart contain cleaners or abrasives.

Thanks!
I'm using Groits Garage best in show liquid wax and spray on wax. Those ok?
Oh yeah, page 428 of owner's manual lists "self-restoring coat." Don't use abrasive waxes.
