afrocleland Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This may sound silly, but I've seen a few people talk about doing this and I can't find a definitive answer online...Should I clean a new car straight away? Is there any benefit to it? Is this a good time to wax and/or use some sort of protective treatment? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 it should come with a full valet on order, unless your are supaguarding etc it I'd treat it as normal. Although if you keep a car clean from the start and keep at it naturally it will look its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yes, if its not supergaurded, give it a good wash and a couple of coats of wax/wheel sealant and it'll be much easier to clean next time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mental_Atom Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Especially in this weather, a coat of wax is the best idea. I gave mine a full detail at the weekend (1 week old) and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for about a month already! Dust everywhere :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrocleland Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Should I be using any particular type of wax? I actually have a cousin who used to do a bit of valeting on the side, might just chuck him some money to give it a good polish. I have some poor boy wheel wax I'm definitely applying on day 1.

TomsFocus Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It shouldn't need polishing really but you can if you want. Personally I use Poorboys Nattys Paste wax because its a good price, easy to use and lasts quite well. That along with their wheel sealant is a good combo, and what I did with mine when I got it lol.
