Well The Paint Is Basecoat/clearcoat. & I Have Also Been Told Not To Use Wax On That Type Of Paint. Just Check The Label On What You Are Buying. It Will Say Safe For Clearcoat Finnishes.

Zaino FTW...

A polish enhances and conditions the paint...It also does not build up on the paint...GOOD polish is expensive...

A Wax adds a layer to the paint to make it shine...It builds up badly...But is cheap...

1, Wash
