now you are going to get addicted and use a color cleaner- polishing with various levels of compounds to remove all the swirl marks- then get hooked on synthetic or synth blend car wax as final step-

wash- clay- polish- wax!!

Clean. I still need to wax mine. Too bad I have to wait a while before I can wax freshly painted bumpers and lips.

I did my first Clay Bar treatment last Saturday to my '07. I de-badged the rear, clay bared the car, polished and then waxed. It does look amazing. I'm old and slow and did the whole job in 4 1/2 hours.
