Cars less than a year old usually show minimal wear, but without a thorough new car prep, they can still have issues. Dealerships using their goons to "prep" new cars usually leave swirls, halograms, and of course; they always skip over must needed claying.
While we have 10+ cars still to post, we wanted to get this write-up out asap for multiple reasons: it's an awesome ride (a 6.2liter v8 kicking out 426 hp and 420 ft/lbs stock helps), it's "new" (we'd like to show how new cars can need love too!), and we had the chance to work with a great local photographer to truly capture the end result in a way that we could not.
We were introduced to this client after he had already seen some of our work. He had plans on getting it detailed properly to remove the light swirl marks already accumalating on the finish, and gave us a call to set up an appointment. Not much longer and we arrived ready to work.
First look: Clean? No doubt a well maintained vehicle that gets babied quite a bit. Once looking around further, we could see some of the areas we'd need to give a little more attention to.
Every vehicle has it's highs and lows. While this might only be less than a year old with less than 15,000 miles, it requires additional attention to detail to bring the rest of the car to a better-than-new state.
Exhaust tips:
Wheel faces weren't bad, but the wheel weights shouldn't cause someone to frown on your upkeep, nor should wheel wells:

Plate removal
In the sun, it was clear to see why our services were requested
Even some light etching was present in some areas.
Taking initial readings - even with a new car you never know if you may find something odd. Best to know prior to polishing and to alert the owner.
Starting with the wheels, wheel wells, brakes:
Wheel weights 50/50 - you can see the weights behind the spoke haven't been touched yet
For a realitively "clean" wheel - you can see how much nasty stuff was agitated that eventually got rinsed free.
Much cleaner!
Exhaust tips need love too!
After working on exhaust tips... Jacob's hands need love too! (why it pays to remember to wear gloves!)
Initial foaming to loosen grime
Then rinsed:
Followed by foam+wash
Rinsed off...
No beading!
Claying did yeild some nasty stuff that was stuck to the clear-coats. This is the norm for newer cars as they are often in huge parking lots for awhile waiting on shipping.
Lower portions were particularly grimey
Only the best and highest quality microfiber drying towels were used to dry in addtion to our blower.
Some tar specs got hit with bug and tar remover which quickly cleared-up the contamination
you'll be fine!
