    I also use jet seal... Two coats and then a coat of butter wet wax, nice to know my paint is protected!

    You drive a 2016, don't give me that shit. And regardless of how long a place has been around, doesn't mean you can't use proper products.

    I love Adams products but I've never bought anything from Chemical Bros. Their website just gives me a headache. They've got like 40 different microfiber towels on there, too many choices isn't always good.

    If the scratches are not deep you can easily buff them out with compound..If they are deep you'll need to carefully use fine auto sandpaper and then compound-polish seal with wax.

    I really like Menzerna Power Lock... Goes on easy and Buffs out pretty easy as well.. Leaves a nice popping gloss candy finish.

    yep, been using this on my truck since new. Great stuff. I've never felt smoother paint after a coat of the power lock.

    I had a can of Mothers Carnuba for over 20 years. There is still some in there.

    I gave up on waxing cars after my kids were born- 17 years ago. Too busy and all my trucks were, well.. trucks.

    I bought a new car in 2006, never waxed it and it looked like absolute shit when I traded it in in 2012. The car I bought in 2012 I took a clay bar to on day 1 of ownership and put two coats of wax on it, and every other year would clay it and wax it and still looked amazing years later, so that's what I did with the Tacoma. Personally read anything telling people to stay away from wax. That's a new one to me.
