Exterior Care - New Car

[brentondm]

for me its the following:


1.) use the karcher lance with the shampoo pot to put a nice layer of soapy foam all over the car.
2.) karcher clean the shampoo off the car and any easy to get off dirt deposits.
3.) two bucket wash method using a MF noodle mitt.
4.) MF chamois the car (meguiars).
5.) [once a quarter] clay bar the car to clean up the clear coat then lay down a layer of carlack68 + buff off + 6.
6.) [when needed] lay down a layer of meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 + buff off.
7.) give it a quick once over with meguiars quick detailing (when the cloth starts to not glide as easilly, the wax is running thin, time to re-wax)

Depends how hardcore you want to be about it really... I'd just get some wax on there asap at least. I got some bird poo on mine, and just throwing some water at it washed it off. So at least a good wax, I used some sonax stuff, seemed good. Others say other stuff.

BTW, the dont wash it/wax whatever it is because the paint is 'soft' thats soft from when it was painted, not from when you picked it up. And well, most of the dealers are going to do something to it before you pick it up anyway.

Look into using 3M Hand Glaze on new cars or resprayed cars.
