Re: New car, could use some advice, because I'm short.
Get a short (no pun intended) step ladder, that will let you reach the roof and hood of your car. Claying is something you should only need to do once or twice a year. Ult Quik Detailer is good for the uses you describe. Moon roof glass = yes, windshield = no.

New car, could use some advice, because I'm short.
I recently purchased my first brand new car, a Honda Civic EX in Burgundy Night Pearl.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Gold Class Wash weekly
Claying (even though I'm terrified- can I use diluted GC Wash as lubricant?) Every three or 4 months
Ultimate Wax approximately every 3-4 months
And then Ultimate Spray wax after subsequent washes, weekly.
And Ultimate Quick Detail for light dusting and bird poop as needed.
Am I missing anything on that routine? I don't think it needs polishes or compounds at this time, it hardly seems to need clay based on baggie test.
Am I picking the best products if my goal is durable protection (my car lives outside and near a train track)?
And more importantly, I'm short, with T-Rex arms. I can't quite figure how to do the top of my car or the center of my hood safely (both for the paint and myself). Tips on that would be greatly appreciated. And can the waxes go on the moon roof glass?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
