Cleaning for new car

Hi,

Have my SSM for 3 days now. Cleaned it lightly yesterday as it was raining and I had grit streaks along the sides. Used a light water spray to get rid of the dirt, a chamois to wipe it and then a microfiber cloth to finish the drying.

Someone suggested waxing the car. Is this done with a new car?

Thanks

yes It can be done on a new car. I would suggest claying it, polish, sealent and then a wax job. Youll make the paint even better than when you got the car, and itll bead the water when washing and rain. Definitly recomend it.
