Yeah...rust on the chrome bumbers, definitely around the fogs..TRD exhaust tips and tubes..if you look close..not sure how bad until weather gives a little...washed it once a week all winterlong..to keep down the salt..but you can only do so much...when tit stays in the teens and twenties...

I use Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detail Supplies - Adam's Polishes and just about everything they sell is good stuff and easy to use.

Check out the detailing forum here at TS. There is a ton of info and Brandon gives some good advice. I have been using the Duragloss wax that Brandon recommends on my black crewmax and it has held up great. It is also a heck of a lot cheaper than Zaino and gives in my opinion the same results.

On my black Trans Am I used to use a product by The Wax Shop called Super Glaze. Very easy on and off. Keeps swirls down and is very easy to apply and take off which you want with black cause you dont wanna be rubbing on it a lot.

Use your favorite WAX/POLISH. Once or twice a year clay bar and polish with Meguirs scatch X then favorite wax/polish. Clay bar removes particles that rob your shine Meguiars scratch X is the best I have found to remove swirls in black.....by hand anyways

I've had excellent results on black with Eagle One Nanowax liquid. Some of the purists may laugh, but I've been really happy with the lack of swirl marks and easy of use.

Ok, so out of all of these waxes previously mentioned....which ones wipe off easily? I want one that wipes off like "butter", not pasty and leaves a powdery residue.
