I couldn't believe it either, I thought I'd just have to get the front clip repainted.

I used Sonus after reading this article on Autopia.
The Perfect Shine
The guy uses a couple different products from different companies to achieve the correct layering of the chemical compounds.

You mean the wax (NXT)??? just one. NXT does not layer well.

Yea, u're gonna want to use some sort of carnauba wax for lasting protection after all those steps. NXT shines up real nice and is really easy to work with, but it certainly doesn't last that long. I've tried it a couple times.

Thanks...

3 car, Jeep, Vette, Honda (beater)...

FYI it is SUPER easy to use too much wax with a PC. Took me 3 hours to get it all off
