Any ideas on waxing?

Just picked up my "Smarty" yesterday, and it is a blast to drive. Really prefer to manual shift, since it is much smoother, and you have more control than the Automatic. Great little car!!

My question for you guys and gals is about waxing. My salesman said to just wash it and it will look good. Not sure that just the wash will be enough. Does anyone have any experience or know what kind of wax you can use? HELP, Smarty needs to keep shining.

Steve

Normally I lay a coat of turtle wax on it after it's washed... brings out the black tridion cell and offers some sort of piece of mind on the plastic finish...

Just make sure you use micro-fiber towels NOT terry cloth. If you use terry cloth you'll be sorry....
