Looks so good...

Gianreano · 03-31-2009, 11:28 AM

i wonder is the paint quality would be severely ruined if you have your car outside compared to a garage kept car???

Awww AK, you took out my smiley and made me look like an a**. Car does look nice though, how long did you spend doing a quick wash/wax?

Looks great, but I would've used a clay bar on the car before waxing.

Claybar shouldnt be necessary on a brand new car with first wax application.

Uhm, yeah it is.

use the back of your hand and rub across the car while it's wet...if you feel anything, it's crap embedded in the paint that a claybar will take out.

Nice! I've always been a fan of Meguiar's TechWax.

So before I get my collarbone surgery on Thursday I decided to do a somewhat detailed wash/wax and store it in the garage. From the information I've gathered I guess the order I'll be going is:

Thorough wash
Fix scratches/abrasions(giant rock ding + door ding) with ScratchX 2.0
Rinse
Wax with NXT
Rinse again

I decided to skip polishing/claying for now.

Are you sure you want to do this before a surgery?

Well I probably won't be able to drive yet even touch a car for at least a week and a half so might as well get it over with now.

Different surgery than yours, but if you can, do it as they always lean to the optimistic time to heal. The time I was told was two weeks—turned into five weeks!

Funny thing is I broke my bone back in July of last year and they told me it was going to heal fine therefore surgery was unnecessary. It's now March of 2009 and you get the idea.

Isnt cracked paint, worn clearcoat covered under the warranty? It darn well should be.

I'm envious.
