The instant spray wax is also good for your engine compartment.

Anyhow, thanks guys for the info.

If there's clear coat on the roof of your black 928S, it's been resprayed already. It's too easy to scuff the panel and paint it without getting the old damaged/dried/etc previous paint removed and the undercoating restored. The 'new' paint looks great for a while, sometimes a few ears, before the old stuff tries for a breakthrough. No amount of polishing the clear coat will solve problems underneath. Base/clear systems hide a lot, but not forever.
