New guy with a question

[mikeNH]

Hello, just bought a new truck and want to keep it looking nice for a long time.
Other than 1 show truck that I had, I never took auto cleaning to seriously.
I was wondering about what Meguires products I need to keep a new truck looking new. As far as wax, polish and when to do what. The truck is white Tundra. We have the full range of weather here so I would like to protect the paint as well as I can. Thanks for any help ya'll can give to a newb!

Welcome to the zoo!

I'd suggest starting with the links above to give you a good idea of what you're looking at and then asking more specific questions.

You'll find that each person's vehicle will have different needs based on where it's parked (covered/open), local environmental issues, local industries etc. That being said, Murr's basic suggestion is a good starting point.
