Then it leaves the plant sitting outside for weeks, in some unfortunate cases months. So that makes for some more outside airborne contaminents. Obviously, you could leave it the way you pick it up at the dealership, but in all cases the paint needs a good wax cleaner job or clay bar treatment, and then a good coat or two of quality wax to protect it especially if the car will be sitting outside under those harmful UV rays.

One thing.. is the paint on the Mustang easy to scratch? I know on my bimmer I can't take it to any carwash at all because of how soft the paint is... way too swirly aftewards. Can a Mustang go to a carwash or is it handwash only?
