Do i need to wax??

[faststangbk]

HI i just bought a 2003 Mustang with only 3,000 miles on it and it sat in a garage and never seen rain. I got it paint sealed and i could brush my teeth in the paint it is so shiney but it is hard as helll to dry. Then i try drying it the water just spreads around and i could never get it fully dried and there are always water marks. Do i need to do a claybar, polish, and wax or do u think it just needs waxed or polished. Also it black and what do u recomeend as far as polsih wax etc. thanks sorry so long

You need to wax every car. I don't care how new it is or how good it looks. Every car needs protection on it. Applying a wax or a sealant will help get the water beading up and easier to dry too. I've got some information on www.ocdetails.com that might help you, but most of what you need to know are on these forums. This basic detailing guide might point you in the right direction since you are already familiar with clay and polishing.

if you need a good towel to suck all the water and dry out your car when you wash your car with water and soap, then i recommend a good waffleweave towel. waffeweave are awesome towels when it comes to drying a car. it gets the job done!!

yea but even a car without protection should not be too hard to dry... just make sure to allow free flowing water (de-tach the spray nozzle) and let the water sorta flush itself right off. the majority of the water streaks instead of all sitting on top of the paint!
