    I should probably ask this in the detailing forum but as a forum youngster for now I’ll stay with my 296 brethren. I’ve always used SwissVax zueffenhausen on my Porsches and my Lamborghini.
    Any recommendations for the 296. I’m thinking of using the swissvax Concorso for Italian cars in the American climate.
    What do you guys use? I use Groits internal products
    Also is there somewhere I can go to see the owners manuals while I’m waiting on mine to come in ?

    Interesting discussion.
    I think a lot of owners just rock PPF and ceramic and call it a day. I know, though, people can get super hardcore about their waxes and polishes.

    If you choose not to Ceramic be careful with your wax choice that it will not deteriorate the PPF’s core hydrophobic properties .

    If you choose to ceramic you can then tinker with a good quality waterless wash , that should keep you busy !

    Great idea. But since this is my first Ferrari I get the biggest kick out of being in the garage looking at the car. Haven’t don’t that since my 2004 Manthey 911 GT3

    Yea you guys have given me something good tips. I like the expensive high content Carnuba waxes .
    Do those interrupt the ppf properties?

    It should be a specific PPF wax
