hey guys just looking at the best way to get my new baby all sparkling and clean. at the moment i just clean it with a sponge and car cleaner then chamois dry. what are the best options for polishing ive been told to stay away from clay bars for a while because its a brand new car. so what are the other options just a wax ?? which ones are people finding are the best ?? iv'e had a little search through the forums but couldn't find anything specifically for brand new car cheers guys

I only use Meguiars products for the body mate but will use CT18 on the wheels and any other stubborn areas. I only use a good microfibre sponge on the paintowork and brush on the other parts. Chamois off after wash.

Same here, worth the cost, go down to autobarn and buy the Maguires new car kit, and one of their sponges and you'll be set until you work out what you want to use in the way of polishes and waxes for the look you're after (if you're after one)

I got paint protection with mine last year and the dealer said use wool wash that you get from the supermarket to wash wooden clothes.

I've also heard that johnsons Baby Shampoo is good; if it's good for babies, then it'll be good for the car.

X3 on the Megauires, wool wash pad and then the liquid wax. My Hilux is metal storm, scratches easy no chamois ever, use a microfibre towel to dry it IMO

Thanks for all your inputs, gents. Have a blessed day

Listen to the bros from across the trench

Much more fun than washing it !!!

BTW - I use CT18 in hot soapy water on my rolux & WR450
