I've got the Carecraft Paint Protection on my Crossfire. I have yet to wax it and don't intend to wax it, ever. Once the Carecraft is applied, you do not wax. Once every 6 months you use a polish they supply (for free) to remove any surface accumulations that are not removed by normal washing. For the >$200 I paid, I'm getting EXCELLENT rain beading, awesome shine after washing, and every painted part on my car is covered even for things like tree sap, bird droppings, acid rain, etc., all those things that the D/C warranty DO NOT COVER.
I look through the forum here at all the time and effort people spend on things like CrystalGuard, multiple coats of Zaino, Meguiar's Tech Wax, etc. etc. etc., and I look at the 'shine' in their pics after spending a whole day or whole weekend working on the car, and I see just as good a shine on mine just from washing and drying it.
But everyone's entitled to their own opinions. I'm not trying to knock anyone here at all. Just giving you MY personal observation.
