Okay, so the dealer applied some sort of wax to the car which I picked up a few weeks ago. I plan to apply Klasse AIO, Klasse SG and then maybe one of the Pinnacle Waxes. But first I may clay the car. Some say claying isn't necessary for a new car and some say it's still a good idea.

If I do clay the car, I'll want to remove the existing wax first. Aside from the Dawn option (some advocate it as a one time thing and some people warn against it), what products can I use to remove the wax ONLY and not add any polish (remember that I'll add Klasse, etc. after claying) and which are not abbrasive?

Would really appreciate your advice. Thanks.

 

Dawn first and clay bar the car which I would recommend. It gives a peace of mind knowing that you are putting a nice clean coat on the clean paint.

 

my car is 2 weeks old & I just did a wash with Dawn, clay, & wax .. car came out beautiful .. It's the way to go ....

 

I use p21s shampoo or poorboys super slick and suds. They both work great and get an bubbly lather going. Then I would dry the car with a waffle weave microfiber. Follow that up with a clay bar and the klasse twins and you'll have one hot G. I detail professionally and I recomend claying it because even though its new to you it may have gotten a good amount of contamination on it just in transport. You can get a fine grade clay bar http://secure.detailedimage.com/Merc...gory_Code=Clay which is designed for new paint because its a less abrassive. There is a special on Klasse twins for $39 http://www.detailedimage.com/index.html. You get two free microfiber towels and microfiber applicators with that purchase plus 10% off any purchase before the end of April.
