no matter what you should never wait a year to wax it!!!!

I detailed my G the first weekend I had it, but I guess you could wait a week or two...the longest you should really go between waxing (at the absolute longest) is a couple months, and 6-7 months for a full detail (unless you have a different DD and drive the G very very little)

You also want to look into the different types of ways to wax or seal the car. I personally use Zaino which is a sealer and protects the paint well. there is a detailing section in myg37 that has a lot of good info

i dunno why people are worried about waxing their new car. They think the paint is just painted and it hasnt cured enough to wax yet, but in reality your car was built months ago and is more then ready for detailing.

can the wax be applied to suffaces other than the paint like headlights, taillights windows or mirrors?

YES!
it's horrible for YOU to wax a new car because chances (since you're asking the question) are you're going to do it and micro-marr the crap out of it.

but seriously a brand new car is filthy, rail dust, embeded particles, it's not glass smooth like how I make my car brand new from the dealer. I'd make them do a full detail before I even pick it up, clay bar and everything.


I don't have any issues with applying a little wax to your headlights. i mean but don't go crazy.. just what ever is left on your applicator after you finish the rest of your car. it can actually be a good thing when it comes to preventing fogging/oxidizing.

Personally I wouldn't have the dealership do any detailing b/c they usually make things worse, but get a professional detail if you aren't comfortable doing it.

And you can wax any surface of the car except the wheels pretty much. Some people even put a thin coat on the windshield (no joke)

tru-dat don't let any dealership that doesn't have a real detailing service touch your car... They should be able to walk you through their process.
