Help the newbie

Ok fellas I have a 2009 GT500 White with blue stripes I had planned on a care package consisting of washing and then applying Optima spray wax as the routine I would use...Im a hand use type of guy so I know that limits my options.

I've now noticed thanks to this forum that I have some swirl marks/micromarring probably from a poor dealer prep ..Id like to know what would be a good way to get started and keep my paint looking as good as I can from here on forward...keep in mind im getting up there with hands that have been abused since my first job .

I would get it professionally detailed and maintain it from there.

how would you research to find a good detailer ? I don't think my car needs that much work...guess I could be wrong.

Where in CA are you located?

Since the finish is so new, it would likely just need a quick once-over with a PC and some polish, and then a good protection plan to keep it nice.

Autopia - Autopia Home and check out the regional sections post up that you need a detailer.

Yup, if you don't feel like taking it on yourself. Finding a reputable detailer to buff it out real quick is your next best option.

Then just lots of upkeep and as few washes as possible to keep the swirls from coming back. lol
