New to paint care (couldn't afford it till now)

Since this is my first time with 2-stage pearl paints coat etc what do you recommend to put on it to take care of it over the long run?

Mothers? Meguiars? EagleOne?

well first of all I highly suggest that you dont drive it in the snow. Thats a great way to ruin new paint.

rovic,

i know that you dont wanna hear this but first off...

you shouldnt touch the paint for like 6-8 weeks with anything but cold water... since paint nowadays doesnt have lead..no matter how long you bake it, its still soft.. so dont do anything with it until like june..well..may anyways..

if you have salt/sand on it...just use a hose to get it off...DO NOT GO TO ONE OF THOSE $1 PLACES...THE POWER HOSES ARE TOO STRONG!! and if you really feel the need to wash it...make sure ALL the sand/salt is off...i know its hard but you dont wanna scratch that new paint job..

good luck
