I stepped up for the BMW Nano wax but haven't used it yet ... Not cheap ... Any tips?

Been using Chemical Guys matte detailer with nice results

BTW your car looks great!

great! I know it is not cheap but that little jar will last you at least one year if you wax it once per month.
tips: wash your car with the matte car shampoo of your preference, after drying it apply the BMW nano wax with a soft applicator, do it by sections, dont let it dry and buff it off using microfiber towels, the paint surface will feel very smooth and you will get a perfect metallic matte finish

Edu09 hits it on the nose- I'm starting to run low on my wax, but its lasted me just over a year. I bought the wax after jumping on the forums and seeing his car with it.

I wash with Dr. Beasley's and then apply the BMW nano wax. Pretty simple process as Edu pointed out.

For the occasional maintenance, I keep a bottle of Chemical Guys matte detailer in the trunk (sap/bird poop/etc).
