Tried new polish/wax - well, new to me anyway
Anyone ever heard of System One? Really happy with the results. Took my GSL-SE from a dull mess to a great shine.
It is just a single compound but you use two different pads to apply it. Seems pretty idiot-proof (i used it!). The first pad is a wool pad, and the second pad is a foam pad for the final finish (it's actually just one 2-sided pad).
Then I finished things off with their carnuba spray wax. Which actually worked great on everything just sprayed on and wiped off. At first I was worried when i got it on the side trim (didn't want to have to fight with the dried up mess) but it actually didn't have that problem either. Came right off in direct sunlight and left a nice (but not too shiny) finish on all of that rubber molding down the doors and on the bumpers. Worked on the dash too.
I heard about them from a detailing friend of mine and wanted to spread the knowledge, as it was the first I had ever heard of System One. They're a little hard to find but their website is http://www.systemoneaps.com
YMMV

More than anything i liked the ease of application - just sprayed it on as I was drying the car and wiped it off.
This past weekend I used both on my Speed6 and it worked like a champ there too (little darker paint - more of a charcoal gray).
