Car Washing Advice - Chemical Guys? Power Buffer?

[Senate515]

I stopped taking my cars through the car wash years ago. I always had to finish drying or wash a spot that was missed. Figured I might as well just do it myself. I’ve only waxed twice though. A Carnauba wax. Just thought there has to be a better product or easier way to do it.

Most sealants can be applied left 20 minutes and buffed off by hand

The Ol' fashioned way...

My 13’s paint was very soft in the first year, but it was only a few weeks off the train when
purchased. I’d wait for any serious polishing or claying work, but certainly work gently to remove any rail dust or defects if you can now, rather than leaving them. Keep in mind though, that your paint may be somewhat soft yet, based on build date of course.

I was thinking this as soon as I read the OP. I know the advice used to be to wait many months to apply waxes, etc. I do not remember anything to that effect re my last new car. Things may have changed.

And I guess it is just me, but life is too short and I am too lazy and clumsy for black cars and white furniture!
