If you use a straight wax - no cleaner - you can apply it from day 1.

 

I bought my 09 in November and I haven't waxed it yet because ...because ...because... OH YEAH "I'm still waiting for the paint to dry". Yeah that's it, that's the ticket, because I'm still waiting for the paint to dry, Not that I've been lazy that's for sure.

 

ASAP. Today's factory finishes are BAKED On at the factory.

No need to wait to apply a wax, cleaner wax or sealant.

 

Brampton Builder and my dealer have both confirmed in the past that you're good to go as soon as your car leaves the factory. Don't forget it also spent close to a month outside before being shipped to you.

 

"wax away cowboy"

 

Would it be a good idea to clay bar it first?

 

there is a product xzilon,its a 3.75 ounce can you apply it to your cars finish and youdont need to wax your car again. in fact wax will not even stick to this stuff. you can spray paint the side of your car and wipe it off. the stuff is amazing.

 

Sounds like snake oil to me. Went to their website...reminds me of the PolyGlycoat "Dealer Applied Only" coatings claims of the 80s.

And let's say for a moment that the claims above are true. What happens if your car gets a real scratch that needs to be repainted? Will the original dealer that applied the xzilon, reapply it on the new area and at what cost?

I just don't buy into their claims and not likely ever will.

 

ok sounds good...I'll start waxing away real soon...wax on wax off:guiness:

 

I would clay bar it first.

 

I would claybar and then use a good polish or sealer. True Wax (like Turtle wax) is abrasive and has a tendency to leave swirls.

 

Definitely clay first but make sure to lubricate well. If you want the ultimate wash, there are special wash formulas to neutralize raildust and fallout on the finish that was picked up between the factory and delivery to you. Do some research on it if interested. Me, I washed with Dawn dish liquid, twice, clayed, washed again and finished off with Zaino.

Check the detail forum for more car exterior tips. Lots of info there.

 

ASAP with some Zainos !!

It's not GM's old lacquer, by the time you get your Mopar you can wax it.

 

i think you need to wait 45 minutes after eating before you start......
