Here are some pictures of my neighbor's 18 FX4 after we finished the paint cleaning yesterday. He helped and it still took us 4 hours. It is now good for at least a year.

 

 

Everything I do is by hand. This starts with a quick wash, cleaning with a Clay 2.0 and lots of diluted detail spray (including the glass), a good rub with 4 Star Ultimate Paint Cleanser and this is followed by a coat of Eagle One NanoWax. E1 Nano is about the easiest wax I have ever found to apply and it lasts a minimum of a year. My 17 is exactly 1 year old and it was run through the same program and still beads water and feels smooth as glass. We probably burn through about 20 rags on a truck this size. Clean microfibers are a necessity.

 

looks good, i need to clean mine again in the worst way..almost a month since last wash and 2 since last wax...its killing me
