Too bad I didn't finish waxing until the sun was down. I used a new bottle of Meguiar's NXT. I must be a poster child for waxes, I don't think this car has seen the same base wax more than once and my wax shelf might have more types of waxes than the local auto store. For a single-stage polymer, this is a nice wax and the price is right. Like most polymers, it buffs easily and leaves a slick surface (bugs don't stick). I didn't do a full polish today; clayed the car, but only polished the hood. Fenders and trunk lid will get polished next time. Doors look fine at the moment.

Note the quantity of silt on the asphalt in the second picture. Much of that came off the underside. Price I pay for having to drive 1/4 mile of dirt road to get home. It was clean just two weeks ago when I put the subframe back in.

I'm back to using Wheel Wax on the wheels. I had forgotten how nice this product is to use. Works well as a cleaner (takes off water spots), hazes quickly, changes from yellow to white when it hazes. No muss no fuss.
