While searching for a wax without silicone, I haven't come across many, so I will likely give in and use a silicone based wax, because I really don't plan on having to repaint at all. The stang will only see nice summer driving anyway, so that should reduce the risk of an accident.

lol don't ever scratch it. But then again with 206 coats that's probably physically impossible.

I am hoping. I can literally say (knocking on wood re computer desk lol) there is not ONE mark rock chip etc on the Snake. I might cry if I ever get on. For the car being 2 years old ( 3rd summer coming up) this has never been the case re small rock chips the odd scratch has always appeared on my past Ponies.
