When to wax new vehicle?

[SCiesie154]

Thanks 91RS. It appears the car care technology has changed substantially since my last new pickup in 1988. I can remember wax making a mess on plastic body trims and whatnot.

Used meguiars products for a decade until switching to Griots. Haven’t looked back since..

Used your recommendation. Turned out amazing!

Looks awesome…..making me wish i stuck with that color!

I use their “speed shine” as a quick detailer in between washes. Recommend that as well (along with their interior cleaner).

How often are you having to reapply shine armor? It performed poorly in this comparison series (failed at 30 days) but could have been a bad batch maybe?

I use it once a week, and alternate between washes. After I wash and apply it one week, I only use the Shine Armor and a damp towel to wipe it off the following week. With the outdoor elements to consider (dust, pollen, bird & insect droppings, leaf blower debris, etc) it holds up pretty well during the week.

I just personally like that freshly clean look on my vehicle, so once that thin layer of dust gets on it, I'm using it. You probably don't need to use it every week like I do, so use it at your own discretion. Bottom line is, it's a really good product in my opinion.

I was wondering, how long should I wait to wax my new 2022 Yukon in Satin Steel Metallic. It was born on 3-31-22. I thought I might use Mcguire's NXT Techwax. Any thoughts?

I just had paintwork done by a good body shop and they said wait 6 months for any waxing or polishing.

What mud guards do you have?

 

[Kehoelaw1989]

Husky Liner Mud Guards. I have the X-act liners as well and love them. Worlds better than the Weathertech's I had with my last vehicle.
