New Car Strategy

Well, pick up a new car on Tuesday or Wednesday. Bought a Lexus IS C Convertible this morning. It is Ultrasonic Blue Mica with a black interior. I have just about the whole line of Prima Products plus some Optimum No Rinse, P21S Total Auto Wash, and some Blue Megs Clay. What would you do to keep it tip top from the beginning.

BTW, it's already been on a dealer lot but I hope dealer installed swirls are at a minimum.

Re: New Car Strategy

First, congrats on the new car.

Second, you going to have to invest in a few things.

Are you doing this by hand or have you invested in a DA and you'll be using a machine?

By without getting into a ton of detail for the time being, you're going to want to:

Wash with two bucket method
Clay
Paint Clean
Paint Polish
Paint Protect/Wax (Epic)

Then maintain.

Its best, on a personal note to stick with a system. If I'm going to use Prima on a car, I use it through and through on the entire car. Only do I mix, when I will use Megs and then top with Epic. But i see you're going to use the entire line of Prima, is this correct?
