I got my car and the first week I Clayed and washed it, and since many coats of wax afterwards. The paint is cured especially after taking delivery. Now if you have any paint work done after you received due to a accident then most shops will tell you to wait 90 days before applying any wax.

Nothing wrong with waxing all the lens. When I do mine everything gets waxed except for the black plastic pieces.

Oh I bet!! Nothing sexier than a black Camaro all shined up!!! One can't help but stare. Now, when they start drooling over it too closely is when you need to . I need to get to mine again, she needs work ESPECIALLY after the rain we got. Poor baby is all water spotted. |

Just about everything for supplies. It really depends on the the condition of the paint and clear coat. Clay bars, rubbing compounds, polish, waxes are all good methods. The problem I found with clay bar is people used it wrong or used a dirty bar. I have even used wet 1000 to 1400 grit sand paper to erase small surface scratches. 1400 grit wet sand paper if properly used works extremely well on stubborn swirl marks. Orbital waxer works awesome as well as long as you use it properly. All my vehicles get 9 to 10 synthetic base waxes a year, with 2 to 3 polish wax per year. The synthetic base wax is not abrasive at all. Its design to protect the care for environmental elements only. I have a 2007 Nissan Xterra which I have been pretty rough with and the paint is still as smooth as a baby's ass.
