Washing/Waxing for the first time

I'm not really washing for the first time, but seriously washing for the first time. I recently picked up a Black WS6 and I want to get it really clean and then wax it. What do I need to go pick up?

I'd go get a clay bar kit. Go wash it off thoroughly, then use the claybar kit before you wax it. This will get off any old wax and really clean the paint and smooth it out a LOT. Then get a swirl cutter/scratch filler and then try to find a good Sealent rather than a wax (Zaino, tropicare, etc). Get a good seal on your paint and wax from there. This is if you want a mirror like shine that will last and you won't have to do as much upkeep to keep it looking great.

Yes, I would highly recommend one of our bucket kits to get you started! It'll include everything you'll need to keep the car in top shape at a nicely discounted price!
