Generally cars out of the casa come with bare paint - no wax, no sealant. You can wax a car as soon as you get it - paint is cured straight from the factory, and generally, a "new car" is not really new - it most likely has spent a number of weeks in transit from the factory to the dealer, not to mention the time it spends in the dealer parking lot. Go ahead and get the paint protection - always better to keep your car in good condition from the get go. Alternatively, you can maintain your car yourself - read the below thread to get you started on proper wash technique, as well as the basics of car detailing.

I keep a layer of OCW over my 845 and Klasse twins, then apply either Nanosliq or Reflections spray wax as a booster after every wash. So far no issues, though since I pretty much boost after every wash, I have no idea what durability by themselves might be.

everything's clean. good job.

you could use the sun. include its reflection near the center of a panel, near the center of your shot. in the dark, the camera flash or your work lights. it's the definitive way to show your detailing project.

So, who's doing a full DIY detail during the long weekend?
