    Exclamation Advice on new cars

    Hi Everyone,

    I got my Porsche 911 yesterday (brand New White).I have several questions;

    When is it safe to start waxing my new car?
    Can I apply the Hydro2 right away?
    Can I use Iron X on my new car?
    Should I clay the car?
    Do I need to wax it before I apply Hydro2?
    What Shampoo do I use after applying Hydro2?
    Is Hydro2 the final Product of application? I mean there is Cquartz UK.
    When do I apply Cquartz UK before or after Hydro2?

    I have the "sample kit", Iron X shamoo 1L,Erasure 500ml and a mild clay.

    Please can someone help me with the procedures and what products to apply first and last.

    Hi Yashin, welcome to CPF!

    Yes, you can start waxing now - Wash the car first of course.
    Yes, in this case do NOT wax the car. Instead use the Hydro2 but don't mix the two. Just Hydro2
    Yes, you can Iron X per the directions on the product page at www.carpro-us.com
    Probably, it depends on what all contaminants are on there. If it is only iron bits then Iron X will solve this. Likely you will want to do both
    No, definitely don't wax it if using Hydro2! Hydro2 takes the place of and is MORE functional than wax
    Use CarPro Reset, it will keep the Hydro2 acting right longer, cleans better, and doesn't deposit film like other shampoos
    It depends... You COULD decontaminate, polish, Erase, and apply CQ UK and apply Reload a few hours later OR do Hydro2 on its own, or do the UK process and top with Hydro2 sometime in the future IF you wanted to.
    IF you apply CQuartz UK then wait a minimum of 7 days before you start using Hydro2

    Hey Corey,

    Thank you for your quick response.

    how do I know if the dealership waxed the car before?

    Do I need to use erasure before Hydro2?

    Regarding interior leather how and what should I order?

    Its Brand new leather.

    Yashin, they make a coating for the leather as well. This is probably the best time to apply as hopefully nobody at the dealer applied anything to the interior. Where do you live, sometimes guys will not mind showing you how to do things, you have questions about.

    No it won't, it's basically a coating for your leather which resists stains and repels liquids etc. Look up Richy he is a member here and is an authorized Cquartz Finest installer. He does excellent work and knows his stuff. He also lives where you live. Here is his website:

    Congrats on the new 911!
    I would have the car polished and coated by a professional as soon as you possibly can. I did this about 4 months after my purchase and the only thing I wish is I would have done it sooner. My next new car purchase will get coated as SOON as possible after leaving the dealer.

    It does the opposite, preserves the coating that's on the leather and stops the leather from fading, and deterioration.

    You will love CQuartz Leather! As will your installer really nice to use
