Brand new Jeep Wrangler. How should I detail it from the start
So I ordered A 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport in Tank green November 2014. It arrives today. I've detailed numerous vehicles but they have always been used. This is my first brand new vehicle and I wanted to start it out right. What steps do you think I should take to get the paint in amazing shape and to prevent any contaminants down the road. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Brand new Jeep Wrangler. How should I detail it from the start
i would start with a good inspection, if it's been through the dealer's detail department you will need to fix what they left behind. Opti-coat is the first thing that comes to mind if you want long lasting protection.

Congrats on the new vehicle! Agree with Matt, a good inspection will let you know if there is any current damage. As far as preventative, frequent washing with good washing techniques followed up with quality waxes and sealants is my advice. Enjoy the new Jeep!

Congratulations on the new ride, but like stated coat the vehicle in a permanent coating such as CQuartz or take it to a Opti coat pro dealer, and if you have the funds to splurge then ill also apply coatings to all surfaces after a good inspection and or wash and claying and if you have some on hand iron x the paintwork too as a preventive measure

Same way you would with a used.
1. Inspect
2. Correct paint accordingly
3. Protect
The difference, there's usually less crud to get through and deal with on a new car.

Re: Brand new Jeep Wrangler. How should I detail it from the start
What color is it? Hard top? Hard top painted? Is the trim painted? Leather inside?
I used to own one, so I can advise a bit.

First and foremost don't let the dealers detailers touch it, they willl most likley do more harm than good and will create more work for you. Personally I wouldn't even let them wash it. When I purchased my GC it came off the truck in front of me and I told them to pull the protective plastic off and leave it as is.

Wash
Decon (I would Iron-x and clay or clay substitute)
Inspect
Test spot
Correct
IPA or equivalent wipedown
Coat (I recently bought OPT gloss coat to try but there are other good ones like CQuartz)
It's all in the details
