I'ts good stuff. Best stuff i've used. Toque from the forum got me to start using it. First i apply a coat of a the Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches let that sit for a while then i finish off with Z-2 PRO Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes. Leaves paint shiny and smooth as a baby's ***.

I know the feeling. NBM is a great color in my opinion but it is no easier than black when it comes to keeping it looking good. Red is much better in that area.

Calif Duster used often here. Ceramics helped re the wheels (i've got black ones). I like a product called WheelWax which works for me on the vette & my DD. Mine is a TR '99 FRC.
