i usally use a polishing compound like once a year on the hood.

other than that, clay baring, and the monthly wax.

Use these products, even if it isn't gel coated:

And claybar every so often (as often as you would your car). Polish every 2-3 months as needed, and wax every month.

What are some of the advantages of using these products over your basic car waxes?
