Clear bra. Then wax every 2-3 months and spray on wax after each wash.


^^^95% paint protection.

I started with Diamondbrite and was happily using their waterless cleaning agent had no issues. An opportunity arose to switch to Williams Racing's Ceramic coating and again so far so good, plus I can still use the Diamondbrite waterless on it.

Get yourself a good liquid/paste type wax that is applied by hand with an applicator or machine..

Also get yourself a good spray wax. I really like the optimum car wax spray.

Use the Liquid/Paste wax, really you should only need to do this a handful of times a year. In between use the spray wax. If you use the spray wax with every wash (Figure once a week for me in the warmer months) you can greatly prolong the life of the good wax underneath.
