OK, since there as mnay viewpoints on this as there are members here, there is no real "best" solution, as each member is going to have better success depending on how they work with a certain product/solution.
So, this is my thought on what I'll do, feel free to comment.... i'll be doing this in a day or two, as soon as I get enough shade to have time to work on it.
1) Wash the Ridge well. (Lots of bugs from trip that I returned on yesterday)
2) Use a good clay product.
3) Use a liquid wax.
then, this fall, I'll clay again, and then really get in there and polish and then wax before the big rains start.
Now, I'm basing this plan on two thngs. 1rst, I'm in SoCal, so no rain for the next several months. 2nd, 'm parking the Ridge in a carport during the week, so there's blown dust but no sun during the week. 3rd, trying to split the difference between the schools of thought on how long to wait before really polishing and all that. The clay seems to be important early, but it might be better to wait before a serious polish?...
