Don't let anyone here give you an ounce of chit over your truck or what you do or don't do with it. You would have to have chit for brains to go out and F up a new truck because you want to be legit or some other BS. Just my opinion and I don't care what anyone else thinks about it.

Never heard about not waxing a new car. Will have to store that in the memory bank.

Uh, that would be polish that contains abrasives. Good car wax contains only the wax and enough solvent or oil to keep it soft.

Proof again that wheel doesn't know sh*t from shinola...

Sorry wheelio... but POLISH has abrasives in it. The synthetic waxes of today do not. And even polish will not 'damage' the clear coat, although it does work like sand paper (albeit a super fine one) and wear it down over time.

I obviously have not clay barred or polished my truck yet. Just a wash, dry and wax. My wife's car (almost 2 years old) has just had a second polish because when she is in San Diego, she works on the base and parks outside... industrial fallout has required a clay bar and polish already (nothing serious, just the finishing polish).

Car wax buying guide

Consumer Reports

Getting started | Types | Waxing tips




Thanks to today's clear-coat finishes, our testing shows that even the best wax will probably not improve the shine on a new car. Regular washing is still the most important step to protecting your car's finish. But a coat of wax can add a layer of protection against tree sap, bird droppings, and other contaminants--at least for a while. Most products we tested showed a significant loss of protection within about five weeks. . And if your car is older or the finish has begun to dull, the effects can be even more dramatic. Waxing can fill minute finish imperfections, and waxes that scored highly for gloss improvement removed oxidation and made paint appear darker and more vibrant.

But be aware that the paint finishes on some darker-colored cars can actually be damaged by some of the more abrasive waxes, which can leave swirl marks. Check our Ratings for products that scored lower in this area.

Since this test was performed in 2011, the roll out of government regulations regarding volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has pushed the industry to alter its formulations. At last check, these tested products are still available for sale, but new variations are expected to appear on store shelves. When shopping based on our Ratings, be sure to match the exact product with those tested. We are monitoring the market to determine when it would be best to test a new batch of products.
