As a new FD owner, I'm not really sure of the best way to care for my exterior. I haven't owned a car this old for awhile and am a bit out of the loop in terms of care.

Question is - do you have a favorite wax / wash combo to use for exterior care? I don't mind spending a bit more for quality. The paint is flawless and I need to keep it that way.

 

Nothing special for the fd, just a car. If possible I would garage it as much as possible, I been using eagle one spray wax as you drive seems okay. Nothing to wow about, but makes car washes in-between rather easy and it's quick too.

 

Thanks... will check that out.

You're in SF? I am too - and just got my car delivered about 20 minutes ago. First FD!

 

grats! post pics! Yup in SF too! Hope your not too close to the sea..

Sorry I mean to say eagle one spray wax as you dry not drive..

 

I live in soma and work in the mission, so shouldn't be seeing much salt.

Who do u have work on your car? I'm dropping mine off at P&R in Hayward tomorrow... it needs some down tuning for smog.

 

Looks cleannnnnnnn i work off 2nd and mission I live closer to the beach....

Those pictures weren't near Autoreturn is it? =_= darn you autoreturn!

My car is mostly stock, thus "low" maintenance besides some reliability mods, so most of the work is just oil changes. I did have a local buddy install my coilovers he's off at bayview though.

 

The pics were from outside that benz dealership at 8th and brannan. Delivery guy was dropping another car there, so I met him at it.

After a day of having the car I have 5 or 6 things that need to be changed / fixed, but otherwise the car is basically spotless... pretty stoked!
