Hey there guys... just wanted to ask help on how I can best maintain my car paint. I live in Manila, Philippines and the air here in the metro is extremely dirty. Your newly washed car will get dirty in no time. Just leave it for couple of hours and you will see your car dirty right away. There's even a construction in front of our house so all the dust are being blown to our house. We don't have a covered garage as well. I started to use car cover as well but not sure if not sure if it's ok to cover when the car is dirty anyway. I am thinking of getting Supagard glass coat but it's quite expensive so I am still thinking twice. I do have several Meguiar's products that I want to use instead. What is the best way to maintain the paint? I am using California Car duster and feather duster to clean off dust but is it safe to use it? Would it scratch the paint? Any recommendation on how to maintain the paint finish? How often should I polish or wax it?
Another question...My car is one month old. A black one. And of course, the dealer messed up the paint real bad - DISO. There are long scratches on my hood and swirl marks all over the place. I had a chat with Meguiar's customer support couple of weeks back and they advised to use Ultimate Compound to remove the scratches and the watermarks. I am quite hesitant though as I am not sure what will be the impact of UC on a new vehicle although I want to remove the scratches and start over. I instead bought Ultimate Polish as it can remove fine swirl marks. I also have Ultimate Liquid Wax. Apparently, UP did not remove all the fine scratches on my hood. They are still visible. I don't have a DA, only hand buff. It also cannot remove watermarks too. Should I start using UC? If I start using it, should I use it on the entire vehicle or just in the area where I have the scratches and watermarks? Or should I wait couple of months before I use it?
Sorry for the long post but I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks!
