Never having had a brand new car before, I would like to know if my usual method is best to keep it looking new, or if I should re-think my cleaning routine.
What I would normally do is wash car with lambswool mit and (cheap admittedly) car shampoo, rinse off and shammy dry (if using Autoglym) or just apply polish straight on wet car if using Meguires NXT.
My current car, a dark metalic blue, looked shinier with Meguires NXT, but didn't seem to bead for as long as Autoglym.
I use a sponge applicator and a microfibre cloth to polish off.
I used to polish wheels with a spray on wheel cleaner which also gave a protective coat.
Trim I usually deal with using autoglym bumper care.
The new car is a Grande Punto in hillbilly azzure metallic, nothing exotic, but I want to keep her looking good.
I do have a pressure washer, but have never used it on the car !
This will change now, but I assume its best to use it on the lowest pressure available for pre-shampoo and rinsing only ?
