- Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish,
- Nu Finish Soft Paste Car Polish, and
- Meguiar’s NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0.
I like the Wirecutter for a lot of things, but AFAIK those products are all kind of laughed at by the pro detailing industry.

My M2 will be a daily driver and will see Cleveland winter (with the salt and brine that entails), so I want it as coated / protected as possible... I'm planning to have Xpel installed on the nose, full hood, plus larger rear quarter panel pieces to replace the stock protection there. Just trying to figure out what coating to put over the whole thing, if anything; I'm fine with a pro-installed product instead of something DIY if it will get me more longevity / durability out of the product.

I don't have a lot of free time, and when I do have it I prefer to be doing things I enjoy instead of maintaining my car's finish (washing/detailing is something I can do but it hurts my back and takes me entirely too long because I get overly obsessive with it).

I like HPDEs, parts of US Hwy 129, NC 28, and the Cherohala Skyway.
I'm also a fan of aural pleasure.
