MarkD51: very true...and as I don't post here very much I'm still learning, he he.
Valleyrider: I have two cars--one light grey, one black. I find the black paint looks awesome and streaks less with Wolfgang.
I agree with the perfect paint argument for a wet look. But my cars sit on the outside exposed to the elements and everything else that may introduce flaws into the paint. If you don't have the energy/time/resources to constantly buff/polish/wetsand away imperfections I think this could be a temporary solution to make it look good.

Glad to read about your success, hopefully this forum has been helpful....
Also just to note, it's easier to read text if you break it up a little. I wanted to read your first post but it was one huge block of text, so I edited it and broke it up a little to make it easier to read.
Just a tip...

That's great to have two of them, do you use one as a track day/ autocross car and the other as a daily driver? Or are they both just street cars?
I've been thinking of picking up a little miata or scion fr-s as well for autocross and track days since they handle nicely and are just a ton of fun to drive!

I will second the endorsement of XMT spray wax. For the price, its a darn good product. I have been using it regularly on my daily driver. I also use the XMT final finish instant detailer as a drying aid and that works well as well. For the price, (these products are often on sale) they are great value.

Perhaps one day I'll track them. For now I just love cruising around in both roadsters--a full view of the sky when the top is down...the sound of the exhaust note...and nimble handling that only a small sports car can give you.
Scion FR-S looks good and is a nice ride but the underpowered engine constantly reminds you that the chassis can handle a lot more power.
Miata is still king when it comes to fun, lightweight convertibles that are still affordable. They are the most tracked sports cars in the world I believe. Probably only the Lotus Elise can put a bigger smile on your face. But the Miata has practicality that the Lotus can only dream of. I use mine everyday as a daily driver because it's such a hoot to drive!

You're right! I have a gallon of both because they're priced so well. Optimum Instant Detailer and Opti-Clean is also cheap especially if you get the concentrate and mix your own.
