Agreed on the front license plate thing, but I have to have it, and I was not installing the front license plate bracket. But, as far as wax, I use this product called Amarillo Gold. It is a show class wax, that I get from one of my buddies detail shop. Easy to put on, easy to take off, and a great shine. These pictures are after the SVT was buffed, but usually I put it on by hand, and I get almost the same results.
