First week...

I've seen it suggested elsewhere on this forum but wanted to pass along the message as I plan to do the same with mine when it finally arrives. Wax the rims to allow easy(ier) cleaning of the brake dust. Also check out the bug & tar version of Rain-x and apply to the front and back windshields. Don't know how well this stuff works yet, but I've hard good things.

Actually, the ease or lack of, that I was talking about was about the nooks & crannies on the wheels themselves. Not seeing much brake dust so far. And the rims have a beautiful coat of clear-coat, so I'm not sure what waxing them would accomplish. Maybe in a year or so (?)

And yes, I've treated the front glass with Rain-X. This stuff is great. In fact, you really don't need wipers when the glass has been treated.... water just rolls off.

Synthetic wax like Meguire's NXT or Turtle ICE (I prefer the ICE as I use it on my plastics/rubber with outstanding results - Meguire's says not to use it on plastic or rubber) is perfect for the mags...

Get the Daytona wheel brush - its amazing. Just be sure to keep it in its original packaging to keep it from getting squished.


I use detailing spray on my exterior glass as well. Water just beads off and it helps with bug removal as well. Since I already have the detailing spray it doesn't make sense to get the RainX as well....
