First i want to thank everyone that helped out when I had my questions and the hours upon hours of reading things on this site. This is realistically my first 2 stage paint job and I'm very happy. There's some small things that you pros would see but the average person will never notice and lets face it, it's not a show car haha.

So my question is as stated above. I have wet sanded, buffed and polished the whole truck now. I'll be moving to the waxing stage but am considering using a ceramic coating. Does anyone prefer a certain brand? How long should I wait before applying. Does anyone have experience with it? This turck will be garage kept and only see nice weather days with no winter driving. I have to reassemble the interior, get new glass etc so I can wait if needed.

Don't put anything on freshly sprayed paint for at least three months.

You can cut and buff the clear coat but then it needs to fully cure before you put any kind of sealer or wax on it. Even then it isn't needed and in my opinion a waste of money and effort.
