If anyone has any questions about the Flex please do not hesitate to ask.

I use Optimum Compound and Menzerna IP (no money yet to upgrade to SIP ) with my UDM. IP dusts quite a bit compared to optimum, but works quicker.

For sealing, I like/use Zaino in the summer. Right before winter and during winter I use Ultima because it is so easy to apply. I would say a 3x layer of Zaino has better shine and protection compared to Ultima, but Ultima is still pretty good IMO.

100% carnauba wax for my G.
I also use Wheel Wax which makes the wheels easy to clean.

Might want to specify which wax you are talking about. A wax might be 100% carnauba wax, but possibly only 1% wax by volume. I only comment if the OP is looking for the specific wax people are using.

for polish I'd recommend going with Poorboy's Professional Polish or Poorboy's Polish with Sealant for protection

and for wax, I like using Natty's Paste Wax

can't beat Poorboy's prices either

You guys are going to laugh but I use NU Finish on my G. It seems to work pretty good. I used it on my 90' red honda civic si for 10 years and the paint was still very good after 10 years. I just waxed up my G few days ago for the first time! Got my ride 3 months ago and I waited this long to wax it up cuz I notice there was a factory wax and waited for it to fade off.

I'm going to try zymoil or nanawax next time.

I've tried NXT and it leaves a streaky oily residue on my OB coupe. Mothers for some reason, its easy to use and leaves a "wet look" finish with no streaks.
