This is why I mentioned the this spray wax, you literally spray on the car while wet, and then just dry...voila showroom shine.
Is it better to just leave it be for 90 days, just leave it alone, then hit it with whatever you want after that?
There was a thread here recently on a brand new car that had claying and waxing done to it. I said to leave that one alone for a couple of weeks, and was told the factory baking completely out-gasses it already, and it was old obsolete advice to say leave it alone. (Of course, manufacture date is often months or a year before purchase, so there is that on new cars...).
The OP's finish is new paint outside of a factory, yet I wonder if the baking process isn't really that much different (???). Anybody shed any light on this?
