    Zymol user as well. Easy to use, but can still stain black plastic. I tape up my black trim though. It smells great too! hahaha

    Report back when you know decide on the color truck. I would recommend different products for both of those colors. If you're not terribly concerned w/ matching a sealant or wax to bring out the most in that color, and just concerned w/ putting some protection on the paint, then any standard over the counter wax (ie: meguiars) will do just fine. Reapply every 4-6 weeks.

    Keep in mind that the easier a wax is to use, the less you will dread using it, meaning you will likely talk yourself 'in to' instead of 'out of' doing it several more times a year.

    Ease of use matters...
