Do i need to wax??
 
HI i just bought a 2003 Mustang with only 3,000 miles on it and it sat in a garage and never seen rain. I got it paint sealed and i could brush my teeth in the paint it is so shiney but it is hard as helll to dry. Then i try drying it the water just spreads around and i could never get it fully dried and there are always water marks. Do i need to do a claybar, polish, and wax or do u think it just needs waxed or polished. Also it black and what do u recomeend as far as polsih wax etc. thanks sorry so long

Yes wax that thing lol.I use Meguirs NXT wax and love it.Or Zaino would be a good choice too.

Its always good to start with a polish and then wax.

After washing and drying run you hands along the paint especially on the top areas it should feel like glass. If it feels grainy then you need to pass the clay bar.

if water marks dont go away, youll need to buff because its in the paint. A car with 3000 miles shouldnt have hard water spots.

Yes, you should clean, clay, polish, and wax. It's best to start the process early in the life of the car then to fight a losing battle 70,000 miles down the road.

You may or may not notice a difference after polishing, but it should be done either way.

IMO, use Meguiar's stuff. Mother's or Clay Magic Claybars work good as well, but for your cleaning, polishing, and wax, use step one and two from the Meguiar's three step system, and follow it up with a few thin coats of NXT.
