You are in the Acura TL Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Meguairs also sells car cleaner wax, then wax, then polish. Basically 3 steps.  My brother has a black Honda Pilot 4 years old and looks new. He has everything!

| I just bought a new 06 TL yesterday, wife & I drove to the beach. Just LOVE it !!! So quiet, smooth, powerful and got 26 MPG on the first tank of gas. Anyway, need some ideas as to when I should first wax the car. So many brands out there.....which is a good one to use ? How about treating the dash and leather seats for the first time ? When ? I will appreciate any help. | |

Replying to: ggesq (Jan 04, 2007 4:06 pm) New cars come covered with rail dust, brake bust and who knows what else. Over time, it eats the finish away. Take the car home and wash it twice. Be sure to use separate water buckets for soap and rinsing the mitt/sponge. (I prefer a microfiber mitt) Clay the car being sure to use only clean clay. Knead it, keep it clean and throw it out if you drop it. Once done with the clay, wash it again. The car will then be ready for you choice of wax or sealant, regardless of what you choose. Just don't take the car home and wash/wax it. You're just sealing the contaminants in! The Black Acura TL is absolutely beautiful... but it's gonna take some dedication to keep it that way. And no, that doesn't mean $10- at the automatic car wash. Zaino does work very well as LD suggested. Go to the site, read through the information, and understand it before applying. Happy to share more details if needed.
