Decided to treat the new car today after getting it delivered last week - it's 10 months old so had some light swirling in the paint I wanted to correct.

Pre-wash with Bilt Hamber Autofoam.
Decon wash with Chemical Guys Clean Slate.
Fallout remover / Bug and tar remover (the car didn't need a clay bar).
Machine polish with Menzerna 2500 Polish & Lake Country White CCS foam pad.
Panel wipe with Carpro Eraser
Infinity Wax Synergy Lite 12 month ceramic coat applied to paint, trim, lights and wheels.
Autoglym Tyre Dressing.

Really pleased with the results! Mineral white really pops in the sun.

White is my favorite color on a car. I didn't want to wait on an order so I bought a Dravit off the lot. Mine needs a good wash but too hot here.

Absolutely - gives much more protection to your clear coat, great shine, and makes maintenance washes much easier.

Reviving my old thread after spending 3 hours today doing a deep clean inside and out. Ceramic coating still going strong after 15 months, and general condition is as good as the day I got it. Love Tanzanite Blue

The massive advantage you have gained is that Dravit still looks good when it’s pretty dirty!,
