:welcome: To Autogeek Online Johnny! rops:
Buying a new car or truck is exciting and one of the priorities is to make it look it's very best. While washing and waxing can keep the finish looking great look you're just scratching the surface of car care and protection.
Preparing the finish for a sealant or wax is the best way to ensure personal satisfaction. Whether you choose to use just a paint cleaner or do a full compound & polish correction is a personal choice but I'd choose one after claying..
Always remember; the final results are largely dependent on the finish prep....
Basic car care steps in order are:

Ordered two grit guards, 6 cobra waffle weave microfibers 16x24, collinite 845, uwwp+, and chemical guys V7, kinda impulse buy trying to take advantage of the free shipping, anyone know how I can add more or change my existing order, I am stuck on the Tarmac at the moment
