What Wax without Cleaner Do U Use ??
Yup, Boo Boo is Mocha Steel. I went with the conventional touch up bottle with the built in brush since I use a size 5/0 Sable brush for touch ups and you can dip the brush into the bottle...never have tried the pen style. I do the same with the clear coat, and each vehicle has a dedicated touch up brush just for it, even though they are all cleaned after use I don't want to inadvertently introduce Mocha Steel to the Silverstone touch up paint.
You will find that even though the paint code stays the same, GM has a habit of changing color names across the makes and models.

I have been aware of the GM paint name cross mix thing, but just wanted to see if it was the case here.
I like the idea of the 5/0 sable brush.
In the old days we use to use a tooth pick or a match book paper match.
Worked fine for paint that was Brush painted, or Orange peeled and full of dust particles.
Hot cars mostly did 4 to 5 coat Laquer jobs, lite wet sanded, then rubbed out with rubbing compounds and waxed. That pretty much eliminated the problems of runs/sags and dust etc. in the job. You didn't need a high tech booth. Just wet the room down and shoot it in your garage.
Life was simpler all around.

I remember the toothpick/paper match method of touch ups, and I've done a couple of paint jobs in garages with the hose running on the floor to kill the dust and catch the over spray. High tech was a 10 cent dust mask from the hardware store so you didn't cough up the color you were spraying for two days afterward, ah the "good old days".
I use Liquid Glass, been around for years, is not a wax but a polish. It does not build up like wax, last longer also. It is said that the more applied, the better the protection. It can be applied in direct sun, and can also be used on the glass. I personnaly prefer this over wax.
