Hello, looking for some advice.
New car, 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 with 2K miles, got it in July in NC when I was visiting family and drove it back down to Florida were I live. Clayed bar'd the hood last night for the first time to see how it looked underneath the wax from the dealer. Can the experts here look at the paint and tell me...
1.Meguiars 205/SwirlX/Meguiars Cleaner Wax? Or none of them.

This silver is hard for me to judge, even looking at it under the light Im having a hard time seeing much, but I just want to be safe.

I will seal then put a few coats of wax on.
Thanks in advance
Mat

Edit : Pictures look horrible on my computer compared to phone, I will get try to enhance and reload them.

If you don't see any visible swirls, scratches or water spots hit it with a fine cut polish or a paint cleaner to really clean the paint down to a fresh base then seal it up with your favorite wax, sealant or coating.


Congrats on the new car...

Resized and enhanced, still not that great.

Thanks Mike! I just realized its been almost 2 months since the lady and I were at the Thursday night showcase. When I was claying last night I looked to see if it was last night and sure enough it was. Almost drove out but it was 830pm.
