Kacper244 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I just got a new 2016 Jetta GLI. I'm planning on waxing it with the Buttery Wax this weekend. What else should I do before/after waxing to make the paint look new for a long time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mbzamg32 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) LPS before Buttery. You might want to clay it first as well. When i bought my jeep didn't think it needed to be clayed but when I did the baggie test the surface was pretty rough.

When i bought my jeep didn't think it needed to be clayed but when I did the baggie test the surface was pretty rough. I completely agree. Wife just bought a 2016 Golf Sportwagon. The dealer did no prep on the vehicle. just washed and shipped it. As soon as I got it home, clayed and applied LPS to the car. And I got a ton of crap off the car with just the clay bar. Quite suprised at what had already been stuck to the paint. Edited September 3, 2016 by DREWBUSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DREWBUSH Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Also, its been just over a month, and I wash it every weekend and its still smooth as glass. This thing is outside 24/7 and exposed to all types of pollen, bird crap and normal Socal weather including direct sun all day long. It wipes up clean each time with little effort at all.

0 Bryce Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 There are a number of ways to go. I would recommend claying and then liquid paint sealant. Buttery wax does not provide much protection, you could apply it on top of LPS however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pirahnah3 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Congrats on the new car. I would certainly want to give it a good wash, check for the need for a clay (probably), good chance a decon would help with rail dust removal, now would be a great time to do any dealer installed problem removal and get that deep shine started. Then get to protecting her, PS and either wax or H2O GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Don't do anything without claying it first. You'll get a ton of crap pulled off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kacper244 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Thank you everyone for all the great advice! I will definitely get the LPS and apply it before the Buttery Wax since I already have it. Edited September 3, 2016 by Kacper244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mariner Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was surprised at the amount of stuff I clayed off my new SUV when I first got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bryce Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was surprised at the amount of stuff I clayed off my new SUV when I first got it. Same here on our recent new car purchase. Some companies only cover the bare minimum while transporting them, they become caked with stuff and the "detail" from a dealership is all about quantity.

0 rguy200073 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Just bought a 2016 Jetta Sport and I too felt the paint needed TLC. I clayed it twice since purchase a month ago. Had 13 miles on it when I bought it. The clay was dirty too. Just keep up on regular washes, protection, and use the right methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I would Clay first then you can apply PS and every 3 or 4 washes maintain your PS with H20 G&G. http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/waxing-and-glazing/adam-s-h2o-guard-gloss.html http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/polishing/adam-s-visco-clay-bar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
