Newbie needs help
Hi, My sister purchased a new 2020 Hyundai Tucson about 3-4 months ago. It is dark gray and we live in southeast Florida. My experience with detailing cars is limited to washing and then hand waxing my cars for the past 40 years, so I don't have experience with the new products or methods. I have done a lot of reading and watched many youtube videos by different people and I am more confused than when I started. From my reading I have gathered that I should
1. Wash the car
2. Use an iron remover
3. Use a clay bar or mitt
4. Use alcohol or something to clean
5. Apply a protective coat
First, am I missing any steps or is there a better way to do it?
What products do you recommend for each step?
For the protective coat what do you recommend for where I live?
Thank you. Rob

Welcome to AGO.
Are you planning to do any sort of polishing or say an AIO (cleaner wax).

I would never clay without polishing (that means using a machine)- unless it's a very small isolated spot trying to remove a small issue.

Re: Newbie needs help
I have read the review "BLACKFIRE One-Step Cleaner/Wax by Mike Phillips" and I also read the review "BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Liquid Wax by Mike Phillips." From reading both reviews it appears to me that since the car is new the "BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Liquid Wax" would be the better choice at this time. Would this be true? Thanks.

If you are not too worried with clay marring then apply any sealant and call it a day.
You can also use both products together.
