I use Carpro reset for washing and c2v3 as drying aid and/or sealant (every 2-3 months) since I have CSL and EXO coatings. C2V3 is very easy to apply and has generally acceptable lifetime.

Adam's shampoo with foam cannon then I use P&S bead maker as a drying aid. Ads lots of gloss and slickness and is a good paint protection. I do plan on ceramic coating my car this summer with Carpro 3.0UK to help with maintenance washes.

After ceramic coating it makes cleaning soo easy. Quick wash dry and a spray of bead maker and its good to go. My wifes car has been done for over a year and its still so easy to clean and beads water like a fresh coat of traditional wax.

Yes I do! I love the color so I put money and effort into protecting it. Personally I think the most effective way to protect the paint is to get PPF and ceramic coating. PPF protects the rock chips and ceramic adds another layer of protection against natural elements.

If none of the above are not favorable to you, I would suggest putting on a sealant by a professional detailer that will last about 6 months. Or you can also do it yourself if you can. For products, it all comes down to personal preferences but generally CarPro products are great.

Yeah I’m getting ppf done but only the bumper and the splash zones by the tire wells. I’ve been reading on ceramic coats are they really useful? Or do they even work well? I wanted to do the carunba wax or something like that but it’s like $1000+ But I for sure want a good sealer and uv protector for my car that also shines like crazy.
