thanks we are doing good for the most part most of the people in the shop but 1 has gotten power back. for the shop we got power and we are trying to get back to normal.
you can consider using Meg's D300 and a Meg's Microfiber Pad finish it out with Menzerna SF4000 with an Uber Green Pad. Then wax it. |

you typically don't want to polish a car with opti coat on it as you will remove some if not all of it.
you can wax over opti coat if you like. |

How soon after purchasing a new car (raven) do you want to wax it? Right away, or wait a month or so?

Ok, I picked up my car last month and have finally gotten around to a serious washing, not just a pay-and-spray (and pray) booth. I finished up with the ONR and noticed that it doesn't take bugs off, which is no great surprise. I also found a couple little lines of adhesive from when the car had the plastic sheeting on it from shipping, blah.
What's the best stuff to use on the paint and wheels? I want to take that adhesive crap off, ditch the bugs, and get some random grease off my wheels (looks like it was in the lug nuts / center cap and driving spun it down some of the spokes)? |

just make sure you car is cleaned up prior to the wax. if you have a pre cleaner that should remove all the old wax on the car prior to wax or sealant. what type of wax are you using, most will last 1-6 months depending on how you car for it. here are a couple of good pre wax cleaners Auto Finesse Tough Prep Auto Finesse Rejuvenate A couple of sealant and waxes that will last 2-6 months.

I would consider changing out the brakes pads for one with the same OEM performance and lower brake dust.
Other than that stay on top of cleaning your wheels. Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner Wheel Woolies And a good wheel wax or wheel sealant Phil |

Do you recommend using a pressure washer? If so, what brand do you recommend?
