Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to thank everyone in advance for the help and responses. I stumbled across this site after googling detailing and several different brands of products. I spent 2 hours on it the first time reading all the various posts trying to educate myself on washing, polishing, claying and waxing my new 08 Acura MDX. I just purchased my new vehicle and I want to take serious care of it.
Here is what I just ordered and hope to try in the next week. Please respond with comments and feedback.
I'm starting with the Gold Class wash. I can't figure out what the difference is between the NXT and the Gold Class but everyone seemed to like the Gold. Can someone explain the difference?
I also picked up some ultimate detailer to have on hand for those days I want to just give it a quick wipe off.
I picked up the deep crystal polish so when I'm ready to give it a good polish I have it already.
I also got the NXT Tech wax. This had rave reviews so I had to try it.
I also grabbed some accessories so I don't ruin my car with some bad mits or towels. I ordered the Microfiber wash mit, water magnet drying towel, and a 3 pack of microfiber towels.
What I had some questions about were the following?
My door handles, running boards and grill are all chrome. What is the best product to use on these surfaces? Don't i want something that is specifically for chrome? I noticed an all metal cleaner but was unsure about it.
My wheels I believe are alluminum alloy. What should I use on those? I keep hearing about Mothers cleaner. I understand this a Meguiars online forum and I purchase 99% Meguiars but I would appreciate an honest answer on the best stuff for my Acura wheels.
Also, since i just purchased my vehicle will it hurt to give it a waxing now? It rained today and I noticed the beads all over the vehicle. I'm guessing the dealer did the first coat of wax when they sold it to me? Should I even do a polish since it's brand new? I didn't order the clay stuff yet as i don't believe I need it now since the car was just purchased. Comments?
Thanks again in advance for your replies! I'm totally pumped to get all my supplies and give it all a try.
