Hello. Very first post on here. Been reading a lot. I purchased a black car about 3 months ago, a Kia Forte. I'm looking for some suggestions on how to make the car easier to maintain, as I'm just learning how easily the car gets dirty. I haven't put down any type of protection yet. Should I put down some wax? Sealant? Both? Which ones? I understand the process to get to the protection phase, as it takes good prep. I plan to wash the car, and clay bar it before I apply any type of protection. Some type of water beading would be nice. I think I'll stay away from ceramic coatings for now as it seems like they are more suited to advanced detailers. Any and all suggestions appreciated!
Also as an aside, I do have some mico marring on the car. I probably won't get to correcting that for at least for a few months. I may take a detailing class, and then I'll have to purchase a DA Orbital Polisher. I understand that if I put down a long lasting sealant that I won't be able to correct this marring until it wears off, which I'm fine with for now. Gotta take it one step at a time. I'm still fine tuning my wash routine lol.
