I know about the protection I'm not that clueless, but my issue of shlt weather had to do with the other major reason people wax and polish their car..the shine factor, cuz as soon as I do it, it gets dirty the next day.. actually that's the only good thing that comes out of me waxing/polishing my car, is that the crap that falls on it especially tree sap and bird crap just slide off when I wipe it as opposed to getting stuck to the paint..
I tried turtle wax before and it came out without a difference, it was my first time waxing so I dont think I let it haze long enough, second time around I did Nu Finish and it came out a lot better.... sometime when the weather clears I'll take your guys' advice and go with Duragloss..
by the way, do you guys use those spinning machines to apply the wax, or do you do it by hand? I was thinking about buying one to make the application easier..

To answer your question........I used my Porter Cable to apply ALL of my sealants, but waxes I apply by hand since they are typically in a paste format.
