Hi everyone:
You may have seen my previous post, just bought a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. This
car has been awesome so far, all 5 days I've had it.
In any case, it's Panther Black Metallic and when it rained slightly the
other day, the car became slightly dirty. Besides that, I also want to
maintain the appearance of the car as best as I can; mind you, this is the
first nice car I've had, and my car knowledge is limited.
Just yesterday, I bought 3M automotive care products and some ultra-soft
micro-fiber towels. I bought 3M Car Wash Soap, 3M One Step Cleaner Wax,
and 3M Performance Finish.
Any thoughts on the 3M product, other cleaning products or general washing
care (do's, don'ts, tips on scratch removal, etc) would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
--VH

Wash and vacuum the car weekly. Keep the car waxed a couple of times/yr
and stay away from carwashes with brushes, cloth or plastic pads, etc.
Flush underneath really well in winter to flush away salt and mud which
will cause the car to rust - Your owners Manual will provide similar
advice.
3m makes good products, so does McGuires, Turtle Wax and Simonize
