I'd recommend to do it yourself. Get over to Ace Hardware and buy
yourself some Meguair's
or AutoGlym (if you can find it) polish wax and shampoo and then wash
polish and wax the
car yourself.

No better way to get to know your brand new car.

Cheers

I find Autoglym Extra Gloss protection (EGP) difficult to apply. Maybe
because of the clear coating.

What about meguiars wax? Any comments>?

orangepica,

If you want a walkthrough on the compounds & techniques, come over to
Taman Desa on the weekends. I'll usually be polishing a few panels over
the weekend. Can explain to you when I'm working on it. Call it a mini
workshop.
