I'll be taking delivery in next week or so the cars done about 9K what shall I do from day one? I've previously had a new car that I asked the dealer to leave with no treatment etc so I could do it myself which I did with Maguires products but with this one being used what should I do to strip off anything and start again and if so using what - what would I strip it back with if I need to .

I found The maguires range was good at the time but is there better out there? I've still got some left will it be ok or does it have a shelf life?

Its also got a leather interior whats best to treat this with?

cheers

guys

it sounds like you are nicely clued up on long term protection, I'd recommend claying to remove any previous treatments/contaminants from the paint work

& regarding product ranges, everyone gets used to working with different ones, I have a selection of different brands in my bag of tricks :yes:
