Default Detailing the GS

Any detailers in here?

I just recently leased the car a week ago. Only had 6 miles on it.

It's been through a couple rain showers, and I don't own a garage.

Do you think it's worth Washing, Claying, Waxing and Sealing this early?

Thoughts?

Congrats on your GS!

If you want to keep the paint well like this... i highly highly recommend 2 things:
1. Clear Bra the front bumper!!! I am living proof with this. I had this on my IS250 and after 3 years, little to no rock chip shows up.

2. Have a professional apply coating on it. I have Opticoat on both cars and after 6 months, the water still bead/sheet like first day plus regular maintenance is very easy. The bottom line is the paint is still in great condition. There are many other excellent coatings so talk with your detailers about different options.

There are plenty of detailers in here... if you are searching for a professional in your area, let me know and I would be happy to help.

If you're looking to DIY and would like product recommendations, I would also be more than happy to help.

Welcome & Congrats on the new ride.

Hey Zach,

Do you know of any good detailer's in the Southeastern PA area, Philadelphia or Bucks County. I just put a deposit down on a new NX and would love to get the paint prepped for winter upon delivery.
