1 clean with dawn and dry completely

2 clay bar

3 apply quality wax of you choice.

4 repeat as necessary for protection and degree of shine you wanna keep

That's just cruel haha, but at least you told him...eventually.

Nope it will censor it lol

Dodge Sucks, Chevy Swallows, Toyota's the Turd

You go in strait lines because if you do get some micro marring of the paint it will only be visible in one light, one angle other than if you go in swirls it will show in every light and every angle. It makes sense to me because I detail so I look at paint a little different and know what a pain marring or holograms can be. Just remember to work clean and use microfiber. Every detailer, or good detailer, will say the same. Remember the pictures when your done. Have fun!

See below: Tips for Returning Your Vehicle to Showroom Clean | Vehicle Features | Official Ford Owner Site For what its worth, my dad says not to wax the paint for 6 months if it's freshly painted, but I'm not sure what his source is for this information. Or does that only apply to paints without clearcoat or what... who knows. I personally worry about the industrial fallout contaminants from shipping and whatnot though.

the paint is usually cured already. It's if you have paint work done after you pick it up. Then the paint needs to cure.
