I use Meguiars car wash. Followed by a clay bar or synthetic clay pad once a=
year. Since the paint is thin, I would avoid a polish and just go to a wax o=
r sealant. I bought an orbital polisher kit years ago and it came with a sea=
lant. It worked well and I=E2=80=99ve not tried a wax. The kit came with Wol=
fgang products but they=E2=80=99re a bit expensive. Currently using Meguiars=
Synthetic Sealant 2.0 #21. Throughout the season after a wash I use Griots G=
arage Best of Show Detailer. Works great on top window too.=20
A member of our club is friends with Tim McNair, Gran Prix Concours. So, he h=
as given a presentation to our club a couple times. At the last one, someone=
asked about ceramic coatings. I don=E2=80=99t recall now but the answer was=
close to =E2=80=9Cdon=E2=80=99t bother=E2=80=9D. At the time ceramic produc=
ts were very expensive and tedious or difficult to use. My cynical side thin=
