Greetings RD, sorry to hear about your situation, but that proves how much you love the car, willing to give it a second chance. I took the liberty to see where you live CA! the almost broke (Arnold quote of today) but always sunny state. Ok, since the weather in on your side I will tell you in short the steps to do. Most of the "details" on application can be found on my web site. It would take up to much space here to post. YOu can also e mail me in private as many other owners do, and I'll be happy to respond. Keep the most important element in mind. The best maintenence is regular maintenence. I have to put together a pamphlete soon. Hand washing is important. Since it is a new car, work in the shade, do a prep soak with water car wash soap (I like to use a garden sprayer) and prodeed to wash with car wash soap. Get some quick detail spray, I sell some, or go to auto zone and pick some up. YOu should have a clay bar as well. (clay bar application is on web site also. ) after you wash. clay, wash again to remove clay residue. dry with a large mico fiber towel? are you using them now? if not, get ready to die after you try them. You should only have to use a pre cleaner with polish in it as the only step before paint sealant. I sell both, however many people like to use wax. I like paint sealant because it is made of higher technology designed in work better with today 's more advanced paint. It will last 5-6 times longer also. and it is EASY to use. Old sealants were a pain, now they make them with curing additives which allows them to set up in minutes. after you do the sealant, you should wash 1-2 times a week, depending on the conditions, and use a spray and shine to keep the finish looking new. You will spend more time driving your car with less time working on it. if you have leather start your conditioning process right away. I see too many seats cracking after a few months due to lack of oils/let me know if you need more help, I will be around. Gary
