I am the proud owner of a 2007 Honda S2000. I have tried to take good care of my car, but it's been hard, both because of my ignorance and because as we have not had a garage and my car has been exposed to the elements (and cats!) 24/7. I have waxed my car maybe 5 times over the past year and a half. I have never claybarred or cleaned the paint.
Anyway, after reading through the Meguiars material I thought i would do a more complete cleaning and waxing: claybar, cleaning polish (Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and ScratchX), pure polish (Deep Crystal Polish), and wax (NXT Generation). That was my plan. But then disaster struck two weeks ago. I was in an accident.
I picked up my car today. The front end of my car (hood, front and side panels) has been repainted.
The question is: How do I now proceed? I gather I need to wait 3 months before waxing the new paint. Should I simply be content with washing my car for the next 3 months, looking to the end of summer to do a more complete job? Or should I go ahead and claybar, polish, and wax the older parts now? Should I use Deep Crystal Polish on the new paint?
Thank you for your guidance.
