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. |

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. -- ..boB Arrived: 2006 FXDI, Red. 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged Stolen 11/26/05 in Denver 1HD1GEL10VY3200010 CO License J5822Z 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. |

Wax a new car?
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? |

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.. |
