Keeping the P5 clean

[importcrazy]

i found when you use the wax as you dry
stuff you get better results if you wax and buff before you start applying it on a regular basis. i usually give a good old fassion wax every three oh four months and use the armor all wax as you dry gel. on a side note if you go to a do it yourself place make sure they use hot filtered water.

do not use armor all...products are greasy and wont penetrate enough to give a good protection

use carnauba wax either brand (mothers or meguiars) they give a fantastic result on my silver 03 p5 i used the 1st (cleaning) and 2nd (polishing) waxing steps from mothers and for the 3rd step (wax itself) i used meguiars carnauba diamond wax

and for the rims...buy a good rim cleaning product (not too concentrate) and wax it after cleaning it

but the very first step is cleaning the car with a CAR soap not a dishwasher soap (I use meguiars gold class soap) and drying with a chamois (synthetic)

hope this will be helpful

P.S. for the interior (plastics and vinyl) use NXT products from meguiars...SOOOOOO SHINY and its not greasy at all

Just hand wash carefully with car wash soap and microfibre (not terry cloth), and then give it a good wax (using real wax) so that the dirt doesn't stick as bad next time.

Since you just got the car, it might be a good idea to claybar and polish the paint too, but make sure you check up on how to do it correctly.

Oops didn't read the rest of the thread. XD

the only problem that i have had with armor all wax as you dry is if the car is not wet enough, then it can leave a film. Other than that no problems.
