Last applied product

What are you guys using as your last applied product at the end of a job that has been wet sanded and buffed?
When I worked at a collision body shop we used either 3M Imperial hand glaze or Mequiars #7 polish. A restoration shop I was with for a while used all Wizards products (not impressed but smelled nice). I have used Duragloss products now at my place but looking for something else. Might go back to 3M or Mequiars.
What do you suggest? (Has to be fresh paint and body shop safe!! NO silicones. ..... even though I must admit to using a carnuba wax, Mequiars Gold Class, on a 1970 Nova with a 2 year old paint job INSIDE the paint booth with no ill effects. Not a good plan, but only way out at the time.)
 
Just to mention... I use the 3M Perfect It compounds and polishes, always finishing with the blue UltraFine polish and blue foam pad. Is there anything to gain by applying a hand polish or glaze afterwards?
 
Thanks, Shine. Heard a lot of good about the Chemical Guys stuff.
Are you using the Mothers wax as the next product after buffing (like the next day) or after the fresh paint has cured for a while (30, 60 or 90 days)?
 
as soon as it's clean from buffing. mothers is not a sealing wax . wont effect cure .

for the record i hate everything 3m .
 
Im using menzerna 400,2500 and 3500 with Chemical guys foam pads i order LC pads to try
