how do ya like it?
someone ought to make a guide about detailing new cars (jngrbrdman!!!). anyways, my friend is gonna get a new RSX white in a few weeks, with a preformance package (i think). anyways, i was wondering what i should do. here in hawaii, i figure that the car has been standing around for at least a month, because it takes a while to ship etc etc. my mom works at the docks. heres what im thinking
wash
clay bath
FP II
Z2/ZFX
canuba topper after cure time
the general idea is, i wanna keep his car permantly protected, and im not too worried about sacrificing depth, because its white. on the other hand, i do indeed think that by topping with some sorta canuba, it may bring out a bit more clarity. what do you guys think? should i go AIO UPP instead of FP II z2? what i want to concentrate on mainly is the protection, because this car is gonna be in the sun 24/7. he said he wants to keep it really nice and really clean.........
anything i should be careful of?
thanks

With a new car there is just the standard stuff that you should do to any car. Being new shouldn't make a whole lot of difference. You may be able to skip the polishing stage, but everything else should be the same. However, you don't really need to wait for the Z2 to cure if you are using ZFX. That is kind of the whole point of ZFX. It eliminates the cure time. You can hit it with carnauba right away. I don't know that I would go the Zaino route on white though... I've got a white Acura and I think I would go for something like UPP or WG before Zaino. I've seen Zaino on an RSX and it wasn't really my flavor. 3 layers of Wolfgang or UPP on white with a carnauba topper is a jaw dropper. It may not be possible on a one time detail, but I can tell you first hand that if you do white up properly, then you are going to stop traffic when people see it. I was upgrading something on my car a couple months ago right before a car show, and everybody who was either working in the shop or just hanging out there was drooling over the paint on my car. My car isn't anything special, but it had 3 layers of Wolfgang on it already and one layer of P21S. There were black and red cars in the shop that nobody was paying attention to. Trust me on the WG on white... It is really awesome. :bigups
