Wax a new car?
 

We just got a new 2006 Mustang and it our first new car in quite a while.

Can you wax a new car? In the "old days" I seem to recall you advised not to
wax to let the paint dry\cure.

Can you "Zip" wash\wax it?

Thanks

New cars are on the market for a good amount of time since their
inception from the factory. You can wax it away. No problem.

Check your owners manual

Call dealer body shop
OTHERWISE:
Never rely on single response in an open forum on subject this.

I have been told by professional painters not to wax a new paint job for at least
6 months. Instead, use hand glaze. After 6 months, use something with carnuba wax.
I use Kit. Is it better? I don't know. But that's what was recommended by my
painter, so that's what I use.

remember that you aren't dealing with old-style paint.......whatever you
apply, your putting it on the clearcoat. you want to avoid anything
abrasive.....check the label on the products, but bear in mind that
they're selling themselves.

I'm waiting 'till my '06 is 4-5 months old, then it's going to get
Nu-Finish, just to put a water-repellant coating on it and enhance the
shine. My good/old cars still get wax......but started using Nu-Finish
on the beater since it takes so little time to apply.....then saw that
it's the only thing that still beads water after going thru an entire
winter of snow, salt and standing out. And since it goes on so ez, and
litterally "dusts" off (i.e. no rubbing) I figure it won't wear down the
clearcoat.

Nu Finish??? bad idea man....

That is an abrasive cleaner/coat...

You should just use a polymer sealant...

Duke: in Nu Finish

container sez there's no abrasives...no cleaners...."can't scratch
clearcoat finishes"

website sez it's a "polymer emulsion"

so now I'm totally confused. - what do you use?

Q: What is the difference between a polish and a conventional wax?

A: Conventional waxes don't last long because the common ingredient in
these products, carnauba wax, breaks down quickly from everyday
conditions. Neither Nu Finish Liquid nor Paste Car Polish contain
carnauba waxes. No other liquid or paste products can make that claim!

Nu Finish is made up of a series of zinc cross-linking polymer
emulsions that help Nu Finish last longer than any other polish on the
market. This is why Nu Finish is called "The-Once-A-Year Car Polish."
Watch how Nu Finish makes water bead month after month.

Nu Finish is a "Polish".. That means its not good for a new car car.
Use A polymer sealant. Wash car, use polymer sealnt.. then use a nice
glaze for extra protection...

NU finish is crap.. Don't put that crap on your beatiful new car.. Nu
Finish is for old cars that lost its shine and what not..

Forget what they say.... Don't use it. That's my 2 cents..

Thanks guys.

It was an "ordered car" so I will wait 6 months.
