My new Jet black BMW is set to arrive next week and I want to start it off right. I have already asked the dealer to leave it alone when it comes in. DO NOT WASH, I said. I will give it the full treatment when I get it home, of course, and wanted some suggestions. I have seen good reviews of NXT and am going to pick some up. Other than washing with a good mit and dry delicately, what other prep should I do before or after NXT?



I want to try to avoid swirls and spider webs right off the bat. What should I use to apply NXT?



What should I be prepared for in order to start it off right?



Here are some products that I have read in posts, but don't know what they are.

Are these Meguiars?



Thanks in advance.
 
I picked up my new car last week and I also told the dealer not to touch the car..



First thing I did was give the car a good wash to get all the crap from the transport off.



Then I clayed the whole car to remove rail dust, and all other contaminates in the paint.



Then a layer of z5 followed by z2 then a topper of s100



The car looked great with almost zero swirls or marks of any kind on the car..



This week I picked up a bottle of NXT so I clayed the whole car again and applied NXT. NXT seems to be good stuff that has a great depth and shine with very little work.



With the extra ease of NXT I think I will stick with using it for a while depending on the durability of the product.
 
Bought a 2003 525i (12900 miles) last week. Paint was in good shape, but to be safe, and get the best possible shine, I did the following:



Wash

Clay

IP w/ PC

FP w/ PC

AIO x 2

SG x 3 (still doing this, allowing 1 week btween coats, wash first of course)

NXT x 2



That should get it looking its best!!!!
