Default Best products for Rio Yellow?

So, Rio Yellow owners, what do you guys like to use?

I find RYP can hide a lot of tiny black dots from far away, but close up, little black dots really stand out. I spent a few hours claying all those spots off mine.

I used Meguiar's NXT, which made the paint look deeper, but only cuz it's all I had on hand. What have you guys had good luck with?

the rear bumper near the exhausts is one of the problem areas of many yellows...

also might try some polish on any areas that clay doesnt cure-

now what do other yellow owners use??

I was amazed at how much the Klasse twins popped the metal flake on my Spa. I've used Zaino Z2/Z5 and while the car looked super glossy the paint didn't take on a lot of depth or extra pop. I don't use waxes so I can't give any input on those (I like my protection to last longer than one month. ).

i use Zaino on my Spa and am impressed with the clarity of the shine and the depth. I cant say about the Klasse twins as I do not have any experience but coming from Meguire's waxes previously its Zaino hands down.

treat Spa yellow like you would any flat color. (ie Black, red, laguna seca blue )

Any product that will deepen the wetness of the paint will look awesome. I prefer a glaze and carnauba for flat colors.

Try washing, claying, then using CG's EZ Creme, then topping with either CG's 5050, petes 53 or Pinnacle Souveran.
