I live on Ocean what should I do for new Camaro?

It's parked outside 50 yards from the waves and I'm in constant salt spray. My house fans in the summer get crystallized salt on them.

**What should I tell a professional detail team I need done to my brand new Camaro and what can I do to help it take the beating and still shine. Thanks forum!

Wash it weekly, garage it if have one, car cover a must?

See a detail expert in your area and get their feedback. Make sure they come recommended.

Wrap your whole car in in a wrap. Good for 5 years and protects all of the paint.

Or

Just trade it in every few years.

I have one and they are great! They make one for outdoors use as well.
