I just purchased a 2014 GMC Acadia Denali carbon black metallic with Ebony leather interior and would like some suggestions on what products to use to protect it.

First I am in Florida, the hot sun and where I must park has sprinklers hitting my car 3 times per week, so I need some great protection from that water.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

I would also welcome any recommendation to a great detailer using high quality products in Tampa/Oldsmar area.

Thanks

Congratulations on the new vehicle for the exterior I would go for opti coat though if don't wanna go the coating route use a sealant like klasse high gloss sealant as for the leather, leather master or leatherique
 
One suggestion would be to read here as much as you possibly can. This forum is an endless plethora of information.

With the sprinklers hitting your car 3 times a week, can't you just move your car away from that area? If not, there's not a whole lot you can do to protect it from water spots. A sealant or wax will help the water bead but couple that with the sun and you have guaranteed water spots unfortunately.

My personal favorites for protection would be Collinite 845, Wolfgang DGPS, and Pinnacle Souveran.
 
I live in Tampa, this is my GC with Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Sealant topped with Black Fire Black Ice. Got a good splattering of love bugs today and they wiped of pretty easily with Poor Boy's Spray and Wipe. It's not a daily driver. You may want to consider a paint coating.

google Gary Dean, he's off of Linebaugh Ave.

Lordy, lordy:

Regardless of the exterior protection-product you wind-up using...

You must find a way to not have that sprinkler-water ever be on your vehicle!
And just to exacerbate the situation...then have this sprinkler-waters' minerals/contaminates baked/etched into it, by the hot Florida Sun!!

Bring it to Garry Dean and pay him to apply Opti Coat Pro. That sprinkler water will be the death of your black paint :-p

Agreed.

OP, why not take a beater to work?
 
I would say 2 layers of sealants, 3 layers of wax, and getting it away from the sprinklers!
