Hi guys, about to get a new car soon, so i've been reading this thread about how to maintain the outlook of the car in tiptop condition.

Thinking to not go for professional coating as it is quite expensive - might spend some money to buy good quality DIY products instead.

But i'm a bit overwhelmed by the information in this thread and would appreciate if someone can give a good summary on:
- once getting my new car, what is the first step after tinting?
- what products should i buy? ( i read about polish, wax, clay, sealant - not too sure what are their individual purpose)
- what kind of maintenance and schedule should i follow after that?

Really appreciate if someone can give me a Detailing 101 here and maybe also help many of the readers who are too lazy to ask
