If you car has a good surface already, meaning not needing a clay bar, these I can say work pretty dam well.

- CMX Surface prep - This stuff does a great job of getting any old product off the surface of the car. I was impressed.
- Ethos Pro Ceramic Wax - This is the best part. No it is not a 10 hour 6 step process like we all used to love doing but I will say this is the second time I have used it on my car and water was beading like crazy for over 8 months. It is very easy to put on and take off process and the results speak for themselves.

I know there are people that will still swear off easy but this guy loves this stuff
SCA turned me on to the Gyeon Wetcoat, and it's hard to imagine doing anything else now. Just spray it on the wet car before I dry it. I'm sure there's a meaningful durability penalty, but that hardly matters. Yay for lazy.

Oh dam. Maybe I should try that. After washing my car I use Griots detail spray.

You are pressure washing WetCoat off before drying it correct?

I had the one-year anniversary with the 997.2 last weekend, but given that we were in South Carolina at the Performance Center I did not have an opportunity to drive it until today. Attending an extremely large cars and coffee tomorrow morning. Having to meet the local PCA chapter at 0530 to help save 30 to 40 spots.

Might have to try that. We just got home from a week on Jekyll Island, and the Fusion got hit a few times with landscape irrigation water that must have been hard as a rock (as island water tends to be) water spots on the front of the car and windshield are really bad

Butt part of the car. It’s the spoiler right behind the rear trunk.
