            Thanx again guys
            Here is all the advise I got plus I made some mistakes which I don't mention
            But my advise for other Newbs is to hang out here for a couple of weeks
            before you plunge becouse there is incidental information outside of the "newb Menus".and read as much as possible.

            Washed car at touchless car wash(an earnest mistake not to be repeated)

            Got the clay kit (expensive In Canada but well worth it)took 2 Advil for anxiety did not tell my wife what claying was -and went for it.
            Results where amazing even on a new car.

            Next I used the whole Crystal 1-2-3
            More anxiety because the panel where "black and white" till all the car was done to rephrase there is such a huge difference between treated and untreated it is a little nerve racking till the job is done.

            I did the trim with 40 and all Interior except for cloth.
            I later went back and used Supreme Shine on the sills because I found it easier to keep a shine.

            I did the wheels with clay and crystal system(still not happy with those)

            And the rubber with Tire gel (Meguiars)the rubber looked good for a week and then crappy again because I did not apply it properly.I am going to try a paint brush.
            All this info came from this Forum except the Crystal which I was fortunate enough to have recommended to me by a Canadian Tire associate so I had had some experience with it previously.

            Just before the photo's where taken I did a quick sprits with the Ultimate detailer and I also chose an overcast day to better reflect a deep shine.

            One thing Canadaian Tire does a much better job of presenting these products than any one you have on your dealer locater.

            In the spirit of rule #4 I will not mention the company you have listed but i will say I tried several locations of that company and found the expeirience and the selection dismal.

            To finish on an up note :"I love My Shiny New Car"
