I have a new Quartz Grey S4 and looking for some recommendations. First what's best for cleaning and protecting the brightwork on the exterior (window trim, exhaust tips)?
Anything other than wax for the "aluminum look" mirror caps?
Should I apply a sealer to the new paint? Which one? Should the existing wax be removed prior to sealer?
Thanks for the help.

as for a sealant you can use
Menzerna Power Lock or Einszett Glanz
for the trim you can use the sealant above just watch out not to get the sealant on the trim.
as for something to maintain it in between sealant pick up Prima Hydro

Thanks for the quick response, confused me a bit with the above. Do you mean not to get the sealer on the rubber/plastic trim?
I currently use a paste carnuba wax but it's about gone. So I'm due for more.
Can the sealers be applied by hand on only really work with a PC?
