Brand new BMW X5, when can I polish/wax??

[intel55]

I have had the X5 for about two weeks and looking forward to claying it and then polishing it and then laying down some Zaino.



Time I have to wait until I dive in????????????

Should be ready to go.

There is one very important step to do with a new M5 after the polish and Zaino process...



POST PICS!

Normally you have to wait a month or so after painting but you have to figure that by the time you got the car, it sat in Germany, then a long boat ride and then sat on your dealers lots, at best is was probably made 2 months ago (build date is probably on the door pillar). So go for it. Clay first since it probably has residue from crossing the Altantic.

And a crap load of swirls from the stupid lot boys. (Like myself. )

Hmmm I guess I should be about ready to go then. I was thinknig that since it was baked it must be good to go.



actually the X5 is built in Spartanburg South Carolina. I was lucky and got it very fast. It has a Estoril blue paint job, which is a special order paint that is not in any dealer customer publication books. I got X5 about 2 1/2 weeks after I placed the order :woohoo:

the lot boys never got a chance to touch it



I am thinking this :



Clay

Sonus paintwork cleanser

Zaino Z2 x 4



:woot:

paintwork is cured at hi temp at the factory. it's "cured" as it is leaves the point of final assembly.

Great colour Estoril Blue! I Always try to clay new BM's - it definitely does them good.
