Detailing a brand new GTI

Ok boys and girls. My GTI will be arriving soon and Im curious as to what/what not to do to a brand new car. I have read through the Autotopia guide, but still haven't got a definitive answer as to whats best for new paint.:confused:

From my readings I've come upon this.

1.) wash with regular detergent to remove dealer and transport wax and grime.
2.) clay bar entire car whilst keeping paint moist/wet.
3.) wash with auto shampoo
4.) polish (this is where alot of conflicting info is to polish/not polish new paint)
5.) wax with good quality carnuba/synthetic wax.

Any thoughts,tips and instructions from those who have experience in the field would be most appreciated.:bow:

TIA:thumbup:

That seems like the usual procedure.

Go easy on the polish. the car shouldn't have any swirl marks (unless some ham-fisted apprentice washed it at the dealer) so a serious polish shouldn't need doing, unless you're using klasse all in one as a surface prep for the wax.

Good prep is the key. good luck :thumbsup:
