I am considering getting a new 2010 F-150 XLT and I am trying to figure out how to keep her paint looking beautiful for a long, long time.  There is a company called Optimum Car Care that specializes in all sorts of car cleaning products.  From what I can tell from the line-up of options available to me, if you have a new car the 3 most important products to have are as follows:

Optimum No-Rinse Wash and Shine – This is a product that you use with two buckets of water, one to apply,and one to clean, and you don’t need a hose or bubbles, or pointless time spent doing all of that.

Optimum Opti Seal – This product creates a molecular level bond over the paint that keeps rainwater and acids from penetrating, and ths helping to keep the car looking better longer.

Optimum Car Wax – This product is a combination of Carnuba wax, and high grade polymer to create a nice long lasting finish.  The problem with all Carnuba is that it only last 1-2 months, and the problem with polymers is that they don’t give that rich, deep look that Carnuba does.  So this is the best mix of both worlds.

I am pretty happy with what I have found, and I am hoping to be able to order these products after I get my new car.  Keep posted for more updates.

Later.
