Default Almost 3 years and a whole lotta wax later, but...

She's finally as perfect as possible I think.
I finally got the spider cracks on the bumper repaired so I took the opportunity to clay and wax everything except the bumper (since the wax can ruin the clearcoat until it is fully cured and is no need to clay new paint) and now she is looking brand-spanking new!

Lookin really good man. Next time you wax, try S100 wax. Unbelievable on dark cars.

Not that it matters, but isn't that for motorcycles? I'll definitely give it a try the next time I'm due for a new bottle of wax. Today I used the Meguiar's Cleaner Wax that came with my clay kit, worked great.

Technically yes. S100 is for bikes - the car counterpart is P21S, although from what I gather they're essentially the same. I mention S100 because I've found it on the shelf at Harley shops, whereas P21S I've only found online. S100 should be easier to lay hands on.

I'll give it a shot, but I've gotta find a bikeshop in my area first (should be easy considering my town was once, and probably still is, territory of the Pagan Motorcycle Club). I doubt it's something Autozone would carry though.

Yeah should be easy enough to get ahold of. Oh and don't take that recommendation as meaning your car looks only ok lol - dollar for dollar, I love Meguiars and your car looks gorgeous. Just wanted to be clear about that

No offense taken lol, although I shouldn't say it's perfect just yet. I still have to spray the inside door handles with that SEM paint you mentioned a few weeks ago. The only place I can find it is online . If I can't find the wax nearby either, I'll just order both online.
