My new Jet black BMW is set to arrive next week and I want to start it off right. I have already asked the dealer to leave it alone when it comes in. DO NOT WASH, I said. I will give it the full treatment when I get it home, of course, and wanted some suggestions. I have seen good reviews of NXT and am going to pick some up. Other than washing with a good mit and dry delicately, what other prep should I do before or after NXT?
I want to try to avoid swirls and spider webs right off the bat. What should I use to apply NXT?
What should I be prepared for in order to start it off right?
Here are some products that I have read in posts, but don`t know what they are.

Are these Meguiars?
Thanks in advance.

I picked up my new car last week and I also told the dealer not to touch the car..
First thing I did was give the car a good wash to get all the crap from the transport off.
Then I clayed the whole car to remove rail dust, and all other contaminates in the paint.
Then a layer of z5 followed by z2 then a topper of s100
The car looked great with almost zero swirls or marks of any kind on the car..
This week I picked up a bottle of NXT so I clayed the whole car again and applied NXT. NXT seems to be good stuff that has a great depth and shine with very little work.
With the extra ease of NXT I think I will stick with using it for a while depending on the durability of the product.

Bought a 2003 525i (12900 miles) last week. Paint was in good shape, but to be safe, and get the best possible shine, I did the following:
Wash
Clay
IP w/ PC
FP w/ PC
AIO x 2
SG x 3 (still doing this, allowing 1 week btween coats, wash first of course)
NXT x 2
That should get it looking its best!!!!

Read this thread. With a black car it`s really important to have the right techniqe. I found that I was putting quite a few micro scratches in teh clear coat because of my drying technique. I think if you follow this drying method you will really prevent a lot of scratching..
