If you start with a new finish, keep it clean (use car wash soap that is specifically for cars!), and make sure the finish is really clean before you apply the wax, you'll be fine for at least a while. Again, some people swear by clay, to me, it's like rubbing very fine dirt into the finish to remove imperfections, after a while, you begin to abrade the clear coat... but I'm admittedly old school on this.

I swear by Meguiar's NXT 2.0, it's easy to use, it lasts a while, and the results are incredible...wet and glassy.

Remember the secret is to use back and forth/horizontal movements, not circular ones! And use a clean applicator and cotton buffing rag each time.

Thank you! I will use this as a starting point!
