I picked up my DS/W Cooper S last week on Wednesday. I already gave her one bath and will do so again this Saturday only this time I am looking for some protectant. What would you guys recommend for wax? I used to use Meguiers glaze so i didnt build up on wax. My main goal is to protect the front since its not so aerodynamic I can already see paint chips happening. I think bra's look dumb and I looked at the clear vinyl but think that would get on my nerves when I wax the hood and where it stops would be build up as well... Any kind of wax you can recommend.

BTW
July 03 build and I too have the stumble. Nothing I cant live with, I just give it more gas.....

One question and one statement:

You have to decide what looks worse to you - the trailing edge of a clear bra, or rock chips all over the front of the car?

Zaino does not cause any visible buildup on the clear bra edges, or on the black wheel trim either.

JMHO.
