I just acquired a brand new silver Scion about a week ago and would like to wash and wax it for the first time. Is there a particular car wash and wax that I should use? Also, there are some light visible surface scratches around the door handles from people opening the doors before the car was delivered.

Re: First time washing & waxing a new car!
How much effort do you want to put in? A good starting detail would be:
1. Wash - Gold Class soap, 2 buckets, quality sponges/towels.
2. Clay - Smooth Surface Clay kit
3. Clean - ScratchX 2.0 for the handles. Then ColorX the whole car.
4. Wax - Nxt 2.02017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue

I strongly suggest using the clay bar . I just got a new car a couple of weeks ago and was surprised at how much it made a difference. Also, as Murr said, ScratchX should work quite well around the handles. Good luck and have fun with your new ride!
