Question When should I do my first wax?

I haven't tried NXT yet but i heard it's awesome for black cars. I use GoldClass myself and it works pretty good. As far as when you can wax it i'm not too sure. For me i started about 3 mths into my car and i've only had it 6mths. Then again i had the Dealer installed "swirl mark" package too so yeah...

Asap, The NXT wax is Great.
In my opinion any wax is good if you do it often (once a month)

ASAP is a must. You do not know how the vehicle was prepped and with what!! Claying the car and then NXT would be the way to go.

It was already said but ASAP, you can't do it soon enough it or enough times. Dealerships are generally not very responsible as you would think or hope. NXT is good but there are tons of other great waxes here http://secure.detailedimage.com/Merc...egory_Code=Wax

For me i used ScratchX from Meguiars and then I used GoldClass wax by them also. That did a good job of really hiding the swirls. I've read on other posts that polishing with a porter cable 7336 should do the job. That should be my next investment...

When you wax out the swirls, you use a scratch type remover first then wax the car?

Will hand waxing work to get them out or do you need a buffer?

Yes, do the ScratchX first then Wax....And i'll tell ya...it took me 4-5hrs.......washing then waxing my car....that was a workout!!!!...So yeah if you can get a buffer it would probably be easier...and cut the time down a little....
