To tell you the truth, I do use different products on the lower body cladding than I use on the rest of the car.

The body cladding has a matte finish, so using high gloss products aren't very meaningful.

I therefore use the strongest / longest lasting product I am aware of: Meguiar's #10 Polymer Sealant. Goes on real easy, and wipes off like powder.

For the rest of the car, I am now using Meguiar's Next Generation MXT Tech Wax. It is a synthetically engineered polymer sealant.
