week after I got the car I washed with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo then clayed the whole car to clean the surface. I then used the Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion and then used Pinnacle signature series II wax. I wanted to get all the dirt off that happens when they transport the car. Dealers just do quick clean to make it look good.
APC = all Purpose Cleaner. It will break down all the oils and crap from the dealer molestation . I use optimum power clean but there are many more you can choose from.
I'll be clay barring really soon(first time). Should I rewash after the clay bar, or go straight to the seal/wax?
You're going to get answers both ways. If you are really clean wiping up any remnants from the clayng as you go, some may say you can proceed with wax/sealant. I'm not a professional that does this every day as some are that respond here and know they'll do a perfect job each time... Personally, I do a quick re wash of my car... It's fast enough to do and ensures if I have any little pieces of clay or lube that I didn't get off during that process, it's gone before potentially interfering with the wax/sealant application.
