After Polish then what?

It's been a while since I have posted. Been bussy with college, work and my two little girls. Well it's time to give my truck a good clean up. I am just looking for some answers and suggestions from you guys. It's been about 6 months from the last time I put some wax on the paint. With all this raining we have had. I notice that the wax is doing it's job. Anyway, I have setup a day off from work to dedicate all the time to bring back the luster into the paint. Here is the game plan: Interior clean up. Wheels and wheel arches. Wash the paint with Dawn to get ridd off all the dirt and grime and all the wax build-up, clay, and polish. And here is were I find my self with what to do. After claying and polishing. What is the best thing to do as far in paint protection, and eye-catching paint. Should I use Meguiars Selant or Glaze follow by wax? Which combo will produce the best results? Sorry for writing a whole essay here.
Polish+Selant+Wax
Polish+Glaze +Wax
Polish+Wax (2coats)

From my opinion I think that polish+sealant+wax (1 or 2 or more coats, depends on what wax you want to use) is the best way.

You should go polish then two coats of either a sealant or wax.

Re: After Polish then what?

So thanks for the feedback!
Sorry for not responding back...just started school and work. So much crap I have to put up with @ work. But can't complain...it pay$ the bill for now. So what I ended up doing was the following.
1. Wash the truck w/ Dawn soap
2. Polish with Deep Crystal Meguiar's
3. 2-coats of Meguiar's NXT Wax
And in-between the usual tidy of wheel, arcs, interior. My truck looked awsome after that. All my co-workers where like... sorry no-pics since I didnt take any and I dont know how to post them. Have any of you guys tried the glace called Klasse? if so let me know wht you guys think about it...

I'd go with two coats of EPIC and you'd be set.

Used Klasse, did not like it at all.
