Very nice. I could see doing this if I was competing in car shows be it sound or mods. But if you have money to burn knock yourself out.
I did a clay bar on my IS convertible. Let's see the total hours.
1. First wash car. 30 minutes
2. Dry car. 20 minutes.
3. Clay bar. 1 hr.
4. Repeat steps 1&2
5. Wax & polish 1.5 hrs
6. Make Margarita. 15 minutes
7. Enjoy

The clearcoat applied at the MB factory is a very different product and process then a wipe on sealant even if they are both ceramic based. The factory clearcoat is sprayed on a freshly painted finish for the best most permanent bonding and is normally a two stage clear that is much thicker and more durable then any wipe on/remove ceramic sealant.
