I'm looking for guidance on a paint maintenance process for a show car. It's a high end rotisserie restoration with modern blue metallic paint I would characterize as soft-medium hardness. Driven occasionally, but garaged and pampered. Car is waterless washed very gingerly before shows (rolling a super deep microfiber method).
I thought to use M210 followed by M26 for minor paint issues, but M210 before each event seems like needless work and clear coat abuse and M26 seems like it should be used only after a polish like M210. So for normal maintenance after wash, when there is no M210 used, wouldn't simply a conventional wax like Gold Class make sense since it has some cleaner in it, kind of like a half-assed M210+M26? Or is my thinking off? Is there a downside to Gold Class vs M26 (quality of shine)?
Gotta admit, I'm a bit confused between all the other product choices that seem to overlap. Cost isn't a factor, so if there is something better, I'm all ears and have an DA polisher.
