Once those are dealt with it'll go back to FiftyFive Details for a coating of some sort. I'm undecided on wax or ceramic at the moment. Ceramic lasts much longer, but doesn't really have the warmth or depth of wax. Still, its not a warm colour, so maybe ceramic and some gloss-adding sealants will work. We'll see.
It does looks like quite a transformation already . I'd recommend - and can vouch for - ceramic as a long-lasting and easier to care for coating than wax. I had that applied on my Tesla - 6 years ago this week! - and it's still providing good levels of protection (see recent photo), although some panels have been replaced and had new ceramic coating applied then. I think that works well for a light/grey coloured car, so it could look really good on this colour, but perhaps less so on darker/warm colours.
