New Car Care

[Joel Cohen <joelc@hookup.net>]

Greetings All:

This might sound like a naive question but here goes...... I am about to
take delivery of a brand new Audi A4 Quattro (my first Audi and my first new
car in 10 years) and I am curious as to what is the best way of protecting
the damn thing from rusting.  Specifically:

1.  Is it better to wax the car with a traditional wax, wax the car with
something like durashine or not wax the car given that it comes with a 10
year rust PERFORATION warranty!  I hate the use of the word perforation!

2.  Assuming that I should wax the car,  when is it best to do so and how
many times per annum?  For example, if I wax the car immediately on
delivery, do I run the risk of damaging/removeing the clearcoat as the car
will have just been buffed from its ocean voyage.

3.  Assuming that I should wax the car, what wax is best?

Sorry for asking such a dumb question but alas... my knowledge of cars is
limited.  Hopefully it will improve as I follow the postings!

TIA,

Joel
