Do you recommend your three step process for new cars?

I've always used ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze and Carnuba Moose Wax, after clay barring. Since you guys have brand new paint jobs, there's no need to clay, but after some time outside (especially if you don't garage), you'll need it.

On a brand new car, if you do not have swirl marks you can skip the All-in-one step. I had to use it since I had not waxed my car since last year. You could certainly use the other 2 products. My reason for that combo is the Klasse is acrylic based and they claim it lasts up to 12 months. That way as the Pinnacle wax breaks down I know I still have a layer of protection underneath. As each month passes, if the paint still looks good I can just apply another coat of wax. Besides, it only takes an ounce of Klasse to do an entire vehicle. The Pinnacle just makes it look a little wetter and deeper.

I have called Auto Parts stores (OReilly, etc.) no luck finding Klasse, do you know of a national chain store who carries Klasse or is it available only online?

Good to know. I usually always order more than $95 worth of stuff so shipping is free.

Stick with croftgate for the weekly clean and eagle 1 for tires. For shows though i use pinnacle and wolfgang stuff. The wolfgang sealant with a layer of croftgates quick n slick makes for one glorious shine and crazy layer of protection
All these pics are with an hours work of croftgate and claybar

One of these days I might give Croftgate a try. I am still wondering how the product will last since it is relatively new on the market. I refuse to use a waterless car wash though.

Mega polish just adds to the shine and clarity of the paint. Just give it a shot, order the sample pack and watch some videos. Lemme know what you decide to do!

Been waxing for years and have used several good quality waxes. The Ricks Best Carnauba Wax is the best I've used so far. When I put my car next to others, you can really tell a difference in product. It's static free and gives your car a "dive in" look!
