I bought my wife our first brand new car on Saturday. I want to make sure to take care of the paint and protect it from the get go.

The vehicle: 2017 Explorer in White platinum tri coat metallic
The tools: Driveway, canopy, elbow grease

I`ve been reading over the last couple of days, and frankly, my head is spinning! I want to stay away from paint correction at this time. We are so busy at work, both of us, it is near impossible to get the car dropped off with someone to get this done.

My plan right now is to wash, clay, wash, then seal/wax, aerospace 303 on the black trim. I`m wondering if I should hit it with some Iron X before claying it.

Where I`m confused and my head is spinning is the sealant or wax, wax and sealant, sealant and wax.

What I`m looking for: Protection and keeping the paint looking great.
