    Here in PA, the license plate is reflective. I have learned that keeping the plate waxed helps keep the reflection brighter.

    If you want it “baby-butt” smooth, you need to clay it before you wax. That second coat of wax will still feel rough in the same spots as the first if you don’t get all of the contaminants off of the car first.

  3. Michael – Scary. I never wax my plate, but for some reason last night I did. I don’t remember wiping it off though…

    Mike – I meant pimply baby butt smooth., there were a couple spots that I ran my hand over that felt like they didn’t get waxed at all. I have always wanted to clay bar the car, but felt that crossed the line to obsessive and I already have enough of that in other ways. 🙂

    Claying isn’t really obsessive. I do my cars once a year. It really does make a difference in smoothness. It will only add a half hour to your wash/wax routine on a Miata.

  5. I’m sure it is not really obsessive, but the only place I have read about the procedure is on the Miata Forum in the Car Care Products section. Some of those guys got it real bad.
