Hey Guys,
Well my G is only 5 days old and it is already gotten a significant amount of salt on it and I wanted to wash it this weekend. Is it too early to put a layer of wax on it? If not is there a specific brand I should use? Thanks

 

Most dealerships wax the car before you take delivery so you'll be fine. If you've never used Zaino I would give it a try it works great.

 

i second that, stuffs amazing! the car does come with a layer of wax already on it, but it cant hurt to apply another.

 

wax the car?

 

I do all mine within a week or 2 of delivery.
Only time you may want to wait is after fresh paint from the body shop to make sure it competely hardens.

There's no reason at all to wait. While the cars do come with a layer of wax, knowing the dealers it's a cheap wax. Hell, those cheap bastards filled my car up with Regular Octane.

I Zaino'd my car right after I got it and I'm glad I did. I put two coats of Z2, and two coats of Z6 on, and since then I've washed it at least 5 times with Meguiers Gold Class followed by a coat of Z6. I'm a salesman and I drive over 2K miles each month. The Zaino makes her look brand new after every wash, and only needs to be Z2'd a couple of times per year. Can't beat that.

 

about 5 days ago. The paint from the factory is fully cured as they bake it. no need to wait at all before you wax. The sooner you get a protecteive coat on the better. I try to wax as soon as possible when I get a new car. oh yeah, give Zaino a try I love it. it's a bit pricy when you get the kit, and the first time you apply it it'll take you a whole day since there are so many steps involved, but the shine is incredible and it seems to last a long time too.

 

I am ordering Zaino today and will put that stuff on this weekend. Provided it stops F'n raining in Jersey!

 

thanks for the recommendation on the zaino; i'm ordering the ZFX, Z2 PRO, and the Z6 right now.

you guys are the best info a G35 newbie can have, thanks!

 

I got my car about a month ago. I will Zaino the car with In the next two weeks. The weather has been bad and I want to have my clear bra put on first.

 

Wax your car now, the elements are fighting against you constantly. Your car was cleaned no doubt at the dealership but that doesn't mean much, trust me I know people who detail cars at dealerships. I would wax it now with whatever products you think will work best. Here is a good list to choose from if your looking for some high quality wax http://secure.detailedimage.com/Merc...egory_Code=Wax .

 

thanks for the info!!! Ordering now...just got the car yesterday!!!
