First proper detail job on my truck.

That is a pretty light correction method, but if that is all you needed PERFECT you did hte least agressive to get the job done. The wolfgang, IIRC is a concealer so if you see slight marring in the future....after say 5 washes you might have filled in the marring with that product. You can't go wrong with 845.
A foam cannon is fun and somewhat useful. I have one......you will need a pressure washer. A foam gun is different it like a hose end sprayer for the yard, it will help increase the dwell time of the soap.
the guy at Eshine is awesome, meet him a few times at SEMA.

Yeah the clear coat was pristine I seen no point in being any more aggressive then removing any delivery pollutants and slight imperfections done by sloppy cleaning prior to delivery.
What polish would you recommend for the sole purpose of polishing? I love the look of black paint that looks like it's wet paint if you understand the finish I'm trying to achieve a wet look I guess you could call it.
Edit: I meant the foam cannon but that expense is reserved for the spring detail at this point

Some shots with some sun I think I still haven't found the right angle to capture the fact that the clearcoat has no swirls or paint damage. Fighting clouds in the sky as seen on the hood for pure sun shot.
I see if I can find a suitable light or maybe just the right angle sometime to get a better shot. I can clearly see the metalic in the paint though.
I'm still looking for recommendation for a quality polish product that is strictly a polish with zero filling with no correction properties in it.

A polish can fill even if its not designed to do so. Here is a list of polishes that are not designed to fill. As for NO corrective abilities, that really is not possible as "polish" means to abrade. These listed below are low in the corrective measure. They would remove light towel marring on most paints.

LoL it's a huge time sink to do it right. Something I wouldn't want to tackle more then twice a year. Not certain how many detailers go to that level of detailing or how much it would cost.

Oh they charge.
basic quick wash-n-wax with clay bar $150.00 goes up from there.

Are you guys using sealer?
One detail client sent me this:
There is really no need in putting a wax over a paint sealant the paints pores will be filled by the sealant. If you put wax over it might add a bit of gloss look to it but I will not stay on the vehicle long because it is just sitting on top of the paint sealant. If you want to look into the paint sealant I use it is called Menzerna Power Lock Polymer Paint Sealant.
I might add that every detailer has a different answer. They seem to agree on nothing.

Tough question and like you said different answers from every detailer. I was running out of time and didn't have the time of giving a sealer 12 or more hours to do it's job. After my paint correction I went to a polish and then waxing. I use Collinite #845 and they call it "Insulator Wax" to me that kind of says it protects or "insulates". I guess if you can seal it wouldn't hurt but is it absolutely necessary I'm not certain I'll see over time I guess.
Judging by the comment in blue you posted that person says you don't need to wax if you do a sealant? So it's a either / or option?
