New Car Exterior Carr

[MaxJL]

Hello, New member and first post here!

I just purchased a new vehicle and I have some decision paralysis with caring for the exterior. I’m curious about what the best course of action is to care for it since it is brand new, especially waxing.

The car was waxed by the dealership - Do I need to remove that existing wax before applying a new coat later on?

I like the idea of a ceramic coating, especially since I live in New York with harsh road salts during the winter. Can I apply the Ultimate Wax first and then apply the Hybrid Ceramic Wax over it?

I’m considering the Hybrid Ceramic liquid wax because it can be applied to exterior trim as well.

Any advice on where to start is greatly appreciated!

Welcome!!!
My thoughts, if ypur using Megs Ceramic line, I would just stay with that line. Throw a base coat of Hybrid Ceramic Liquid wax on and maintain with the family, Hybrid Spray wax, Detailer, and Soap. I think you will be happy. And I myself really like the Ceramic Liquid wax on trim, it works fine for my needs.

Congrats on the new car! Ceramic is a fantastic choice for long-lasting protection. To get started, it’s best to strip the dealership wax to ensure that any ceramic coating you apply bonds properly to your paint. The Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax is a solid option, especially since it’s safe for trim and provides excellent protection against salt and grime. For maximum gloss, a base layer of Ultimate Wax topped with Hybrid Ceramic Wax works wonders, creating a combo that looks great and holds up in challenging weather. This setup will offer solid protection while keeping maintenance easier.
