I was wondering if I should follow some of the detailing sifu's here who said to ask the SA to not wax/polish the car before delivery (do all cars get waxed and polished before delivery?).
Thinking maybe I should send to a shop after collecting the car for proper wax & polish. Any recommendations or suggestions?
If you are going to send your car to get coating done, then skip the SA wax/polish job, as part of the coating requires the surface to be prepped (i.e. clearcoat has to be cut again).
Some new cars are really new straight from the factory, some sent to large covered/basement car park stock yards, some have sat in the open lots for weeks before delivery exposed to rain, bird shit etc. So to wax/polish before delivery really depends where your car has been and what you are going to do to the paint once you take delivery.
Ideally, if you are going to maintain your car well, try not to get your paint clearcoat cut too many times. If can avoid this, then avoid this as once clear coat gets cut, it never grows back!.
