Got on to the forums to seek additional advice. After showing Corvettes for 40 years and them maintaining my new loves - BMW's, I'm still looking for the tricks that make my ride look better than the guy next to me.
Just started Adams products after 5 or 6 years with Griot'sand Zymol Carbon Cream. I have a Black Saphire Metalic paint - so good wax is a must. Zymol - pretty darn good. Adams - matches the luster - and it's cheaper. Jury still out on beading. I don't let rain get on the car too often.
And it all smells great!
Cheers!
