No matter how old the car is it the time you put into the preparation makes the finished result better on a 2 YO car i'd clay it Polish it (really well) then wax

Auto Glym Super resin is my choice but some detailers say its crap. Best off the shelf stuff though.

i've been using AG srp for ages, purely for its ease of use and availability. Good finish achieved as well.
