That's great. Love the British Racing Green.

So I think in my old age I have become more a creature of ease then an all day process. That being said a friend who owns a mini repair shop told me about these two products.

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
