    MGS1008 reacted to LSX Maestro in What kit should I buy first?   
    For a good setup, you could get a 2 bucket washing setup from Adam's (2 Buckets, Grit Guards, Wash Pads, Car Shampoo, Drying Towels, etc.).  Then I'd get a can of Americana or Buttery wax, and regularly coat the car after washings.  Just note, there are better options than Wax these days for protection, especially since this car will be driven a lot.  If you really want the best option, short of a Ceramic Coating...
     
    Strip Wash the car to remove all residue, waxes, and whatever film is on the car. (This can be done a variety of ways)
    Assess the paint to see if it needs to be clayed...It's a new car so it probably won't need it. Is your freshly washed paint still bumpy? If so, you'll need Detail Spray and Clay.
    Apply Liquid Paint Sealant (LPS). This will provide you with 4-8 months of protection.  Paint Sealant needs to be applied to naked paint (Achieved via Strip Washes and Claying).
    Now you can optionally use an Adam's product like H2O Guard and Gloss on top of the LPS to get more shine, protection, and durability.  (LPS + H2O G&G is a awesome setup, my favorite)
     
    Regularly wash it with Car Shampoo and good to go.  The H2O GG can also be your only source of protection for your Glass, Wheels, and Trim.  It will provide 1-3 months of protection and shine PER application, but I choose to apply it almost every time I wash the car to maintain the peak protection and beading capabilities.  
     
    Ask away, just a few months ago I was a complete noob at all of this too.  You'll find tons of help here on this Forum and from Adam's directly.
