I was too excited to get that thing on the road and didn't even think to tell em to stay off the paint. Lessons Learned.

Default Ordered, right? Yeah, you've got to remember (sometime in those 4 months you're waiting) to tell...

your salesman NO PREP!!! Heck, I'd ask them to deliver it with the plastic still on, but many won't do that. Tell them to do the absolute, barest minimum and that you'll take it from there.

give it a good wash, I'd for sure clay bar the entire car before waxing.
