Doing, "search," here didn't bring up what I was looking for, so...... Finally did it. Bought first ever Mazda, a CX-5 from Foothills Mazda, Spokane, Washington state. Has 655 miles on it now. Did NOT buy dealer sales pitch for high priced extended warranty policies OR their $800 initial, "wax/protectorate," option.
I asked a salesman yesterday how Mazda delivered cars to them. Meaning, no paint coating/protection, some factory coating, or did the dealer always, "wax," or otherwise do any helpful prep for delivery to buyer. He said if I didn't buy the extra stuff, I was getting simple, raw paint from Mazda - no dealer paint protection. Nothing from Mazda factory.
OK. So I'll begin waxing test spots today. For years I've used Meguiars products and currently have some of their, "Gold," liquid wax. I already read here Meguiars has an, "Ultimate," version of similar wax, so I might get that when I run out of this. Seems to me the Gold is a decent beginning.
Otherwise, what tips might any of you have as to how to begin care for our new car the best way?????
Thanks, Dennis
